onejayhawk Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 If that was the real choice, I'd say go for it. I doubt it is that simple. After all, he was a first round pick just three years ago. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGold Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Nigel Bradham or Alex Ogletree would be nice but I have a feeling this roster is pretty much locked down up top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefer Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) I don’t think we got very much cap space at this point even with the colquitt release. unless a guy wants to come in at vet minimum and compete for a championship, which I’m hoping on.

onejayhawk Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 The Taco Charlton signing clearly pushes Breeland Speaks to DT, where he is listed on the depth chart. All the DE will likely see at least some time inside, particularly in coverage sets, but I look for Speaks to find a home there or find other employment.

Chiefer Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Taco might not make the roster, he’s really not that good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Taco's numbers are not that bad, when he plays. What concerns me is the number of healthy scratches, both in Dallas and Miami. That speaks to coachability issues. If we can get him to play, he should be an asset, but it's a big if. That said, the 49ers traded Charles Haley to the Cowboys in 1992. At least in part the objective was to spoil the Cowboys clubhouse. Jimmy Johnson turned him into an off the field asset and also got a couple of Pro-Bowl years out of him.

onejayhawk Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Not to mention Frank Clark and Honey Badger. Those guys now have skins on the wall. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got some positive traits for sure, he did play with FC in college. And it looks like he’s timing the snap better from his college days. He’s decent against the run as well. I hope he does well, got plenty of opportunity to succeed Edited May 2, 2020 by Chiefer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onejayhawk Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Major article on the Taco. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2020/5/2/21245141/film-review-chiefs-defensive-end-taco-charlton One thing a lot of us will like is that he plays the run well now. Another thing that might make him work well is his ability to play stunts. Ogbah was very good with these and TK shows potential. This is also where the ability to slide inside is useful. After all, stunts require two players in cooperation. In 2020, even without a ton of improvement, Charlton can still be an effective run defender as the end man on the line of scrimmage and operate as a pass rusher during their twists and games. The question of attitude was not addressed. It remains a concern, but it is worth noting that failure of communication is often seen as an attitude problem by the coach. We will see if it applies here. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
