Mike Nolan left players and fans scratching their heads last season. I wondered the same thing about Randy Gregory.

Yeah, not really sure what Nolan was thinking. They should’ve been playing a lot of the young guys to let them get some experience.
Ah well… it is just dumb water under the stupid bridge… or something like that.

Gregory was even a bigger head scratcher

We will be glad he made us scrape scalp.

In his defense….we are starting to possibly see why they have Armstrong so many snaps. It’s possible as a rookie Anae wasn’t the player he is now.

Damn good clips on him. A lot of guys putting on some good film on defense in the preseason….

He was sooo close to two really big plays there.

True on Armstrong
But we will see when season starts
Armstrong had lots of snaps last year and I think that helped him
Anae should have got some snaps that would have helped him too

the missed time with the hamstring hurt his chances to unseat vet s Basham and Armstrong, imo .. but much depending upon status and plans with Cholston

Natural pass rusher...that he is.
He’s a guy that could be that 3rd down rotational player.
A little light in the pants against the run though.

Anae and Gregory would be studs as outside linebackers. I actually want to see us switch to a 3-4 full time.

Yeah I ran the Ravens for the mock we did here last year and drafted Anae to play rush LB. Seems like a more natural fit for him.

Yeah I don’t disagree he should’ve got something….especially since the defense and team was bad.

Would you mind just dropping the E from your username?
Better yet, just slide the E past the K and drop the ING.

Per Fish report, McCarthy himself was put on notice by the Jones with Gregory's puzzling lack of playing time, ,,

i luuv the way he knocks down, swipes away blockers' extended arms ... and he contours his body away from OTs bodies
His arms, feet and body is always working Relentless motor with rush skills to go with it ..
He doesn't stay blocked when he's set to go wide. ... the run defense should come as he gains more game experience and he has to keep focus
vs penalties. ..

In both those clips his best rushes were with his hand down and this defense has a Leo LB pass rush position and Nolan's defense was primarily a 3-4.
