Right, but he wasn't before Dallas started making these signings. Zimmer recognized that both him and Golston are not DTs in his system and went and got some DTs.
He was beefing up for DE last summer.
Ditto here ..
Sure It's age and injuries now with Joseph ... but what if he can become what we saw in once very injury prone Malk Hooker who once could not stay healthy and in one piece to save his life .....?
He had a good game. He knocked Biadasz around and sacked Dak.
I don't think he's supposed to be the answer, just part of the equation. The team is still hoping Mazi is the bigger part of the equation, but it takes more than one massive body to hold ground against other massive bodies. I think we likely see a rotation of Mazi, Phillips and Joseph on first down, with Odighizuwa coming in next to Mazi and, at times, Phillips if we successfully hold the offense to short yardage. I don't expect to see any of the big men in the game when it's clearly a passing down. I think the DTs then will be Osa and Kneeland/Lawrence with Parsons and Lawson at DE.
I think Rogers ends up on the practice squad.
I was just trying to emphasize the purpose. Zimmer wants his linebackers hitting the gaps, but they can't do it if offensive linemen are all over them. He knew when he came here that he needed more beef than just Mazi, who hasn't proven if he's Grade A or Grade F. That's not a knock on Odighizuwa. He's a 285-pound DT that doesn't need to be used as a blocker magnet.
He was a seventh-round pick. I don't think it's likely. Teams have their own guys they want to keep and he doesn't play a position where you get much notice.
Great point! We knew it all along. But the recent FA signings only verify it.
