I was in shock that he slid to the 4th. And even more shocked that we thought Charles Tapper was a better prospect.
Don't we have one of those in Hill?At this point a Lazyboy recliner would be a good fit for our D-line...
He's no better than A WoodsIs he a great run stuffer?

Lmao.
The Bengals were 24th in y/a against the run last year (and tied for last against the pass). Their DTs must be exactly what we need
The problem is definitely their LBs, more than the DL talent. Billings is a fine 1T.yeh, that's why I said that i'd like to know how he's individually faired and graded as a run stuffer since he's entered the NFL.
How durable has he's been ? how much did he help out his pro bowl sidekick Geno Atkins ?
And funny how the Bengals can have that kind of talent in the interior but still rank so low vs run.
But I admit that I dunno very much at all about their LBs, DC and scheme too.
The Bengals are always a train wreck.Lmao.

The problems that exist in Cinci's run defense (namely poor LB play) exist in Dallas too.The Bengals are always a train wreck.
Sometimes you can extract talent from a failed system and reinvent talent, and Im betting that Billings is exactly one of those talents in a bad scheme.
Your talking LB now, while I was commenting on adding potential talent to the DL position, I was trying to stay on course with the thread, but LB position of course needs help as well, but just adding one or the other does not fix both positions, so I don't see your point.The problems that exist in Cinci's run defense (namely poor LB play) exist in Dallas too.
The idea that ANY DT is going to come in and make any difference in the run game is flawed for that exact reason.
The one thing I'll say is maybe the runs weren't all right up the middle. The Cowboys got gashed up the middle often, if memory serves me correctly.Lmao.

He's no better than A Woods
I'm not talking LB. I'm saying that addressing DT with a guy like Billings doesn't accomplish anything.Your talking LB now, while I was commenting on adding potential talent to the DL position, I was trying to stay on course with the thread, but LB position of course needs help as well, but just adding one or the other does not fix both positions, so I don't see your point.
If you want to discuss total Defensive issues, than start a thread regarding total defensive talent needs, it will be a very long thread, guaranteed.
Not really. They struggled mostly at RE and outside.The one thing I'll say is maybe the runs weren't all right up the middle. The Cowboys got gashed up the middle often, if memory serves me correctly.
Woods is a very good 1T in a 4-front.So he’s average. I’ll pass
If you don't like Billings, fine, than at least give more of a reason than the fact that he played for the Bengals.I'm not talking LB. I'm saying that addressing DT with a guy like Billings doesn't accomplish anything.
Is Billings a good player? Sure. Is he a player that changes a team? No. I agree that you can "extract talent," but there's nothing to suggest that you'd get more out of it in Dallas than Cinci.
You think run D is solely on the DT's? LMAO is appropriate.Lmao.

Possibly. Billings has been getting better every year. Much more stout than Woods. Looks like a top 10 started in the making.So he’s average. I’ll pass
