Name Me One Dominant Dt Under 300

[Ivan The Awesome]

We have two big bodies in Kearse and Shirley. We need somebody that can get penetration.

We all know Cox gets plenty of penetration.

Aaachaachaachaaa..

I am probably different than most here but was thinking the fact we could use him as a DE and linebacker would make him uniquely able to help us given we are using a lot of hybrid looks. I think the league is going to lighter quicker linemen who can get to the quarterback so I think he could be the wave of the future. But he is not a traditional 4-3 DE for sure.

Hey, if they can get the most out of him then I'd have no problem with him. He's a hell of a talent, but to justify a top 10 pick he has to be an every down guy, IMO. I guess I don't have a lot of faith in our defensive creativity given last year's struggles, regardless of the reasons why.

There aren't really any guys I flat out don't want. I think we're drafting in a no man's land, if you will and have some good options.

Richard Seymour, Ratliff, Even a Louis Castillio type production at DT will be light years of what we had last year.

Coples was best when he played at DT ...but sure against James Madison.

Um, arm length is important for DEs. It's what makes JPP as good as he is despite having no good pass rush move and why Brandon Graham is a bust. Ingram isn't going to be able to play 4-3 End effectively because of it. Hell, he couldn't play it well in college and most of his pressure came from lining up at defensive tackle.

Again long arms could be helpful but shorter arms aren't necessarily a liability, it just means you have to attack differently. Of his 19 sacks over the past 2 years, 3 or 4 came from the defensive tackle position.

What happened to OP...? Drops this poo, gets blasted, tucks his tail and runs. You wanted one, you got well over. Own up to. Your short coming.

[panthers55]

If it makes anyone feel better I am almost positive we won't be drafting him.

Please never confuse my name with that of the OP. Not after this thread.

[Black]

John Randle pretty much single handedly ends this argument.

Bingo.

Please God let the draft hurry up and get here.

[La Pantera]

Lol.. his argument was over before it began. Hard to make that point when one of your examples are under 300 lbs.

[DaCityKats]

yeah this was a fail.this team needs a penetrator, and Cox would be perfect.

[panthers55]

What makes you so sure

I would have thought we would have brought him for a 2 day visit if we were really considering him.
