Looking through the roster, Toia seems to be the only DL on the roster that weighs more than 310. A lot of guys getting reps there (Mazi, Thomas, Winfrey) are all out of position there (thanks to Mazi dropping 30 pounds). We have to have the lightest group on tackles in the league.

Know how many successful run stopping DT's have run between 260 and 280?

Zero since 1985.

  • Aaron Donald: Considered one of the best defensive tackles of his generation, Donald has consistently been an All-Pro and despite being considered a smaller defensive lineman (listed at 6'1" and typically in the 280-285 range) has achieved exceptional success.
  • Grady Jarrett: Jarrett has also garnered All-Pro selections and is known for his disruptive playmaking and athleticism, fitting within the specified weight range.
  • Ed Oliver: Another All-Pro defensive tackle who is recognized for his quickness and ability to penetrate the offensive line, playing in a weight range within these parameters.
Be correct when insultive*

If this defense stays out of the BOTTOM 10 it will be a miracle.

Attitude isn't close to fact. This defense under Zimmer ...

Dallas Cowboys Defensive Coordinator Mike Zimmer has a long history of successfully coordinating defenses in the NFL. His defensive philosophy emphasizes a 4-3 base defense with press-man coverage and aggressive, disguised blitzes, often featuring his signature "double A-gap" look. He also prioritizes stopping the run to force offenses into predictable passing situations.
While it's difficult to compile a definitive "Top 10" list without specific metrics and rankings for every year of his career, here are some notable seasons and characteristics of defenses he has coordinated or overseen as head coach:
  • 2003 Dallas Cowboys: Ranked #1 in the NFL in points allowed and #2 in total yards under Zimmer as Defensive Coordinator.
  • 2009 Cincinnati Bengals: Ranked #4 in the league in total defense, earning Zimmer NFL Assistant Coach of the Year honors.
  • 2011 Cincinnati Bengals: Finished with the #7 ranked total defense and #9 in points allowed.
  • 2012 Cincinnati Bengals: Finished with the #6 ranked total defense and #8 in points allowed.
  • 2017 Minnesota Vikings: Finished the season #1 in the league in yards allowed, demonstrating a dramatic turnaround from the team's ranking prior to Zimmer's arrival in 2014.

*You don't even come close to having a clue.

Both Jarrett and Oliver are around 290.

This is a blurb on Oliver against the run.

Ed Oliver's performance against the run has been a mixed bag. While he has shown flashes of strong play, his overall run defense grade from PFF is relatively low. Some reports indicate a lack of consistency in his run-stopping ability, with a pass-rush grade of 71.2 and a run defense grade of 43.9, according to Sports Illustrated. However, other sources suggest the Bills run defense improved in 2024.

Be informed before presuming arrogance.

No, they dont count.

Aaron Donald would eat Randy Whites lunch today. As would many of the legit DTs today.

Honestly, not sure White even makes a roster today. And he is, deservedly so, a Hall of Famer.
