Shirley Could Be The Odd Man Out In Dt Battle.

[koolkatluke]

If he outperforms them then he has nothing to worry about because it will be obvious that he is better.

I think you mean that you are worried that he will have to prove more than the other guys to make the team. Is that correct?

Pretty much.

I'm so glad Fox is gone

[Kuech the Sneak]

Our five best DTs are probably Shirley Kearse Neblett Edwards and McClain...but well see who Ron keeps

i'm not even sure what your point was in saying that, but i agree. :)

Because Fox would immediately think Fua gives us the "best chance to win"

One of the reasons that it is speculated that Fox had a fallout with Richardson is that he was unwilling to develop younger players. So, actually Fox would have likely never given young guys a shot to begin with. You should be more worried about the new regime sticking with Fua,

He hasn't even shown flashes to be honest. I see no reason to even keep him around.

Local yocal homer here, going out on the hypothetical limb by saying our D wil be a top ten D next yr.

[Ivan The Awesome]

I doubt he's the odd man out. Shirley and Kearse were the most productive DT's towards the last stretch of the season.

[PhillyB]

if he's really that good he'll beat out everyone else in camp and preseason and it won't be an issue.

[Swaggasaurus]

I think that it is Neblett or McClain who goes down, probably Neblett. Rivera himself thought that Fua was more impressive than McClain, but you guys seem to ignore that because you think he will Never be a serviceable NT because he is not 350

[Kuech the Sneak]

I wonder if Ron will have the guts to cut ties with fua or McClain if he really thinks Shirley neblett and kearse deserve a spot ahead of him

I don't see how he thought that when he replace Fua with Ron Fields in a few games because he was getting push around. Different position but McClain had way more production.

I don't see how Fua is in more doubt then McLain

Kali made the statement of Fua special potential in the beginning of last year. And later on Rivera noted how Fua was progressing while McLain hit a wall.

Statistically Fua produced similar to McLain in less snaps.

McLain : 9 pressures, 2 hits, 1 sack, 8 defensive stops. In 481 snaps.

Fua: 5 pressures, 1 hit, 0 sacks, 10 defensive stops. In 408 snaps.
