Love Milton but gonna be tough seeing him hold up against double teams. You’re probably right though cause Fangio supposedly (didn’t watch the presser) mentioned him when talking about NT.

We shall see if that belief gets rewarded or not because Davis can't play every snap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean does a Nose have to be a clog (340lbs) in a 3-4, player who gets dble teamed, or can a lighter DT/NT (295lbs) not be a disruptive force in the middle as a NT? Still get the job done? I mean if being big or fat was the criteria, wouldn't Gabe Hall have made the roster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I get that but is it because that are clogging up the middle? Stopping the run? Hypothetical. If Aaron Donald was playing in a 3-4, could he not be disruptive as a Nose with viable pass rushers beside him? Would he suck, be nowhere close to the HOF best DL in the league? Or would his talent translate? Honestly curious? Edited August 30 by Nabbs4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD did line up at the nose at times, but that doesn't mean he was a backup NT. The real issue with no true backup NT is what happens if Davis gets hurt and what happens if his conditioning goes downhill again like late last season? That is definitely a bit worrisome.

Donald is a classic 3-tech tackle attacking in a 1 gap scheme. It's a completely different skill set than lining up at 0, being responsible for 2 gaps, taking on a double team, and reading and reacting rather than attacking. Donald as great as he is would not be a good fit at nose in the Eagles scheme. It's a lot harder to move a 350 lb man out of that hole in the run game than a 295 LB man.

Folesadelphia Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Jaquelin Roy got waived by the Vikings who selected him in the 5th round in 2023. The Eagles showed a good amount of interest in him last year as he was a top-30 visit. He would be a fit as a backup nose tackle. I wonder if he finds his way to at least the PS.

And when Donald lined up at nose, it was in obvious passing situations where he could dominate interior lineman with his quickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So , I'm assuming this is now counting as one of our Alternate Uniforms for the season? Thanks NFL for the Home game abroad. 🖕 Edited August 30 by Nabbs4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
