Bobby816 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 3yr deal worry 13.5mill 6mill guaranteed. Likely the guy fighting with Huff for snaps behind Lawson and the rookie we draft. Simikar game to Huff as well as an slightly undersized DE that likes using speed and his bend to get around OTs. I’m guessing the tier UO from him were just too pricey. And with us probably knowing we’re going DE at 4 or 10, we didn’t want to overspend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I think what we have in our front 7 will be better than that if HOU… but he’s more than likely a rotational guy for us, not a regular starter. But it does give us insurance at DE. He’s a more polished Huff for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingOfNewYork Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 No one could have anticipated both Lawson and Curry not playing a single snap for us so depth is vital. Solid player, if he keeps his 4 sack pace in a rotational role then this is well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previous he was a rotational guy at around 3 sacks, so not much of a difference… but he did show he’s not close to a 7-10 sack guy in a starting role. Which you’d like pretty much any starting DE to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was merely that you stated he’s a decent 4 sack guy rotationally. But he in fact was a 4 sack guys as a starter last season. Big difference. He’s a rotational guy with us. But if he’s a starter bc of injury, don’t expect those numbers to double as a a starter is my point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he's a 3 sack guy its still good value in a rotation aspect. Last year he also had 19 pressures, 13 hurries. Those numbers were huge jumps for him so even though he didn't finish more he definitely improved in his starting role. That was in 61% of the snaps. 14 starts.

JetsCrash Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Good depth piece; we will probably be taking an edge rusher with one of our first two picks, so he will be the number 3 or 4 edge rusher on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the pickup from a rotational standpoint and like the burst he creates. And is a lot better than having to move guys around like JFM if we have injuries. Ideally for me JFM pretty much stays inside. And the more decent options we have at DE that more that’s likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a situational pass rusher If we draft a guy at #4 and have him with Lawson and Huff I just don’t see the need for a situational pass rusher with 13 career sacks. I would of thought we’d sign a starter and have the rookie and Huff as situational pass rushers until the rookie was ready to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depth is never a bad idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
