Roy very much played NT in college.  McCall certainly could do it as well and Brown will definitely be used there too.

I seemed to remember that Roy was a NT in college at Baylor, but he simply doesn't have the strength in the NFL to anchor.  McCall could play there, but how will he look?  I doubt he's a starter, possibly a backup NT.  Brown will absolutely play outside.  They may move him inside on certain packages, but in base formation, he needs to be outside.

My best guess by the current roster is McCall would start NT in base with Brown and YGM flanking him. Biggest weakness to the defense has to be FS with upgrades probably needed at NT, 5tech, ILB and CB as well.

I think LBs are good with Burns, Barno, Haynes, Luvu, Shaq, Chinn, and Smith.

Add Horn, Henderson, Jackson, STO, Taylor, and Woods into the mix and secondary looks ok.

I like Brown and McCall but YGM is too small for the line and may be the odd man out.  

I like Mazie or Tuipolutu in the late second and a free safety in the third.

I'd save our 1st and early second for the offense, Grab 2 of QB, WR, and TE.

Siaki Ika shows up in the mocks a lot. Is anything confirmed that we are going to 3-4?

No nothing confirmed. Evero is a decibel of that 34 but had said in the past you have to build your scheme around your players so it could go either way. Will probably need to see how the team approaches free agency.

Would love Ika no matter the defense, he can play both and would give us a lot of flexibility. To your other point, I haven’t heard anything either.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
