I can't get our DL straight - a little help?

[Awakened]

I don't pay as much attention as a lot of you guys. I don't know much about a lot of our DL. I know who we carried over from last year, who we signed as free agents, and who we drafted, but have no real feel for what most people think about many of these players. Anybody want to take a shot at how would you rank our top 4 DE's and top 4 DT's??

I wouldn't include Gregory. I think we have to assume he's history and be pleasantly surprised if he ever plays a meaningful down for us.

DE

Lawrence
Mayowa
Irving
TBD Russell / Tapper / somebody somewhere else

DT

Crawford

Thornton
Collins / Jenkins

RDE - Mayowa / Russell / Tapper

3T - Tyrone Lawrence / Jack Lawrence / Maliek Collins

1T - Thornton / McClain

LDE - DLaw / Irving / Tapper

End Lawrence (Suspension) Irving Russell
1T Thornton McClain
UT Crawford Crawford Collins (Injury)
End Mayowa (Injury) Tapper

Jenkins might fit in here somewhere. Irving and Jack Crawford can move around a bit.

 

[Awakened]

So we are painfully thin at DE and really hoping that Mayowa, Tapper, and Irving can do a good job at the position, which may or may not be the case with all three of them.

I see you're high on the Lawrence brothers.

They need to step up until Maliek Lawrence comes back.

We really need to get all of the injured Dlinemen healed and playing in these preseason games so we know what we really have. I hope it gets better because they don't show up much in the LA game.

 

[Risen Star]

And yes, this is a group in desperate need of some talent. They really need both mid round picks to pan out and be a factor this year.

Not a fan of Irving? Think Tapper is more of an asset than Mayowa?

And we need to hit on our 4th round QB?

Yeah...somebody isn't panning out




Yeah...let's hope at least one of the 3 makes it

Michael Irving? Yes, most definitely. Weird time to ask though.

I'm high on Tapper's potential. I'm actually higher than most on Mayowa. I think he can at least be a decent reserve. Tapper might be our Tony Tolbert. Not your best edge rusher but the bookend to your best edge rusher.

Hey, I'd welcome both Tapper and Collins busting if it means Prescott is the franchise QB. I do not want to look back on the 2016 draft and see we blew a chance to avoid being QB-less.

 

[Teague31]

Think we are better at DT than we have been in a long time.
DE? It's going to be ugly. Especially these first 4 games. I honestly won't be surprised to see zero sacks registered by the ends in the first month

Oh, and we need a dead leg to wake up

Dak would be a huge blessing...I'd trade all of them to hit on Dak...

I'm setting the bar high....4

But I'm right there w/ ya...Wouldn't shock me if put up a goose egg either....

 

[BAT]

LDE: Demarcus Lawrence, Charles Tapper, Jack Crawford/Ryan Russell/Zach Wood

1Tech: Cedric Thornton, Terrell McClain/Maliek Collins

3Tech: Tyrone Crawford, David Irving, Shaniel Jenkins

RDE: Not on Roster, Randy Gregory, Benson Mayowa/Mike McAdoo

*Rodney Coe and Gerald Dixon have no chance to make this team, utter scrubs. Tempted to add Russell to this list but will give him another game.

 

[stilltheguru88]

Lol at zero sacks bring projected. If they have even a smidgen of talent all they need to proper preparation and motivation. Y'all turn football into rocket science. They won't be all world but zero?

I'd almost rather play Irving at RDE than Russell. Russell just doesn't do it for me. Hopefully Tapper can step up there.
