SteelKing728 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Isn't he a 4-3 OLB? Not much of an Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fureys49ers Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 The only thing I’ve read about this signing is that it robbed them of a comp draft pick for next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloxygenil Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I believe 3-4 OLB which is great for what we need. Hopefully he’ll make some noise and get signed long term we need a couple of wins on the FA side of things. Plus let’s be honest, the Falcons edge rush couldn’t get any worse than last year so… upgrades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 He's an EDGE guy. Really solid against the run. He's just not impactful in the pass game at all; don't let that extremely small sample size from the end of last year fool you. He's a replacement level player who is viewed more positively than replacement level players normally are because of his freakish athletic numbers he posted coming out of Georgia.

I'm not saying you two aren't right, but this line of thinking is what Giants fans have been saying to each other and ourselves for like 5 years now about multiple positions and it can ALWAYS get worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I promise, it can't. Falcons set a record for being bad at pass rush last year and that's with Dean Peas scheming things up, that's another level of special right there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowler wasn't good against the run or the pass. Carter is at least solid enough against the run to be an improvement there and should provide at least something as a pass rusher.

SkippyX Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 He was the next great Giants pass rusher back in the early glory days of Daniel Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll put it to you like this forget about them saying Dante Fowler all he has to do is replace Steven means. As long as he can get more than 0 sacks and 2 pressures in 14 games he is a upgrade Means was our starting Edge Rusher along with fowler with those numbers. Were not asking for much here we just want anything better at this point to get us started in the right direction lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y*so*blu Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 He's talented, but inconsistent. Best used as a rotational/depth player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW21 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Really wanted the Niners to bring him in. Didn’t follow him in NY but loved him coming out of UGA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep had a perfect 10 on the RAS. He didn’t do agility drills though so that number likely would have dropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
