At first, I was disappointed, but (thank God) I can analyze and problem solve—I thank my teachers.   Over the past few years, some rather dynamic changes have occurred at DT, brought about by players like Brockers and Wilkerson. 

And Aaron Donald.

And our own Kawann Short.

I really really like this kid. Has the same kind of attitude that Norman did. He may end up being the best out of the three corners we took today.

We have 2 years with Star with the option year after this season. If we keep Butler as NT  and let Star go Butler will get double teamed and his pass rushing ability will be negated due to double team & stamina fatigue trying to  stop the run game taking on the C/G combo. Thats why we have to keep Star &  get fair contract with KK so we can use all 3 DTs for rotation. 

I suggest that this is a money issue, not a rotational issue.  I agree with you though.

Thanks.  I am liking our CBs now---I realize they are rookies, but I have never really felt great about the CBs here.

Worley is going to be cut before the season starts.

Totally agree! First time in a while we can see at least some depth at the CB position, given some of them pan out. All three are young guys as well, that's a huge plus

 I thought the point of drafting Shaq was to play base and not go to Nickel?

 

Shaq is a Will and is TD's replacement - so no

How would you know? he's ahead of every other guy we currently have at CB to play on the outside at #2 CB. One of the rookies would have to beat him out to play the spot full time. 

IN YOUR FACE!!!!!!

Part of the idea (so they said) was that Shaq allowed them to stay in base defense even when the opponent goes 3-wide, so he's not incorrect. Ultimately Shaq is TD's replacement but in the near term they were hoping to use him in the buffalo nickel package.

That is what he is saying bro.  Shaq gave them the flexibility to stay out of nickel being that he is a good coverage LB.
