oldman9er Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 i read it mentioned by a regular HTTR fan elsewhere that this signing would put Wilkerson and Allen at the DE spots.. while Ioannidis would slide inside to the NT spot. On paper, it looks like a nice 3 man DL in base. Can't say I watched much of Ioannidis, but his prior draft profile suggests he is very strong in the skills of a 34NT.

Matt is very good and I think he can handle the NT position.I do still want a big body guy and we do run a lot of nickle. I see the redskins signing Wilkerson probably today or tomm.

Dashing202 Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Been reviewing Wilkerson, idk why people suggest he's selfish and isn't a leader . You have guys like Leonard Williams sticking up for him and he leads pregame motivation speeches . Hes only 28, and he's much better than any DE we have when healthy and motivated .

MikeT14 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Isn't that one of the problems we already have? Slightly under sized NTs? I think Matt is barely over 300. Would he be a success there, really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would he be a success there, really? It's more about pure strength, balance, technique, and leverage than listed weight. I'd be curious of how accurate listed weights really are year to year. Ioannidis is listed at 6'3 - 305 on nfl.com, espn, and redskins.com. It wouldn't take much to add 10 lbs, and he's already strong like bull.

Ghostnote Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I would rather sign Beau Allen, and keep Ioannidis and Allen at the ends with Lanier, and McGee. (That would mean potentially cutting Terrell McClain). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldman9er Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Good overall article, Dashing. Quote Unlike many 3-4 defenses around the NFL, the Redskins use a 1-gap scheme, meaning they like their defensive linemen to control just one gap at the snap of the football, and not constantly look to command a double team. Ioannidis and Allen both excel in this type of look, so asking Matt to jump inside to take snaps as a 1-tech would not limit his value to our defense at all. He could still do what he does best at nose tackle, and that is use his tremendous lower-body strength, active hands, and relentless motor to disrupt plays. We'll see how it goes. Maybe Jimmy T will elect to go this route, now that he has a whole offseason process to work him in there. If he wants to keep Ioadinnis outside, then they should forget adding expensive DE talent. Little point in adding Wilkerson when you already have Ioa and Allen starting DEs and Lanier as depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
