SteelKing728 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Pierce sounds like a younger Linval Joseph. I'm cool with that. We probably lose the 3rd round comp pick for Waynes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Pierce sounds more like a Pat Williams type than a Linval type. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably lose the 3rd round comp pick for Waynes though. we're lucky in a sense with so many free agent QBs that at $9 mil AAV pierce will likely only cost a 5th/6th rounder in the compensatory pick formula. waynes is still pencilled in as a 3rd in return for us but if a few more payers sign for more than waynes' $14 mil AAV then he would likely count as a 4th in return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RpMc Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Zimmer has said that the defense doesn’t go without that type of player. Linval was still good, but not the force he once was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a big guy and it seemed we got gashed in some big games down the stretch. Still seems like a lot for a two down player. Thought maybe Watts would take over at NT. Im glad they got someone at one of the DT spots. I’d assume that Stephen is the favorite at UT with a rookie in the mix.

Linval was still good, but not the force he once was. yeah i feel like he says it any time someone mentions the run defense. "linval makes kendricks and barr look good". and considering zimmer's philosophy has always been to stop the run first and make the offense one-dimensional, i guess it does make more sense why they prioritized the position.
