Defensive Ends

[pilot2011]

DG is obviously trying build the most intimidating front 7 in the league, and I think the Defensive End position is shaping up to look a lot like the 07 Giants superbowl team. Strahan, Tuck, and Umenyiora had 9, 10, and 13 sacks for the season, with 20 more sacks from the rest of the team. 

 

Hardy, Johnson, and Ealy along with Hall/Addison make a damn good D-end group. Potentially great.

CFL stand-out, Alex Hall, could be very productive too.

Frank Alexander comes back week 5, he seemed to be improving last year. Contributes when he gets his chance.

I think you'll probably see Hardy kick inside with KK on a lot of passing downs with CJ and Ealy on the ends. Pin the ears back and go get that QB!

[Lemory]

Frank won't make the 53 now.

[LilFlipMac]

We'll probably try to trade Hardy

[Rags]

remember 2011 Giants with JPP, Osi and Tuck?

 

Yeah.

 

That could be us.

It is a great pickup based on value and foresight. Chances are CJ or Hardy will be let go next season so we already have the replacement in place. Got 1st round talent for a late 2nd round pick to fix a problem in 2015. 

 

Yes yes I know OT is a big problem but what do you do when there isn't one there that can beat out our current guys. Kinda pointless right.

Teams are going to Hate playing carolina next season.

 

Our Defensive line will be SICK

Kony 2014.

I'm still struggling with this pick and not because of the position.

I've just never thought he was that good. I need to read more and watch more on him. Send me articles and youtube clips ppl!!!!

Don't forget about Frank Alexander! He'll be working extra hard this season so these guys who play will have warm seats to plop on after smacking those pussies Brees and Ryan around.

I know we don't run a 3-4 (making this scenario a little different$, but I'm intrigued by the possibility of Alex Hall as a standup blitzing LB on passing downs coming in behind CJ. One thing I noticed watching Hall is that he is damn fast.

Maybe something like this...

Ealy - Hardy - Short - CJ ^ Hall

Have Hall line-up on the tight end and once the ball is snapped, bump the TE to slow him down and then have Kuechly rotate to pick him up. Hall will then follow CJ in what will likely lead to a sack for Hall because the QB was flushed out of the pocket by Ealy and Hardy.

Good luck defending that.

Just a thought, carry on.
