Twitter: Jerry thinks Collins may start this year?

[JohnnyHopkins]

I guess that's one way to deal with our DE suspensions....

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

I would need someone other than Jerry to tell me that to have any credibility.

 

[J_Allen]

The guy is a force in the middle. That would free up Tyrone Crawford to play defensive end so I hope so.

 

[CowboyChris]

this is where Jerry just needs to stop talking

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Well over the first 4 games of the season, that may happen so Jerry could be right.

AFTER the first 4 games T. Crawford will be back on the inside. There will be a small "army" at DE after the wandering 2 come back from suspension.

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

Ugh Crawfords way better in the middle IMO

 

[Chuck 54]

I'm sure Jerry isn't just spitballing. Generally, coaches talk about things and gm Jerry is the public face.

 

[gimmesix]

Let's see if he can even get on the field first.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Ugh Crawfords way better in the middle IMO

I agree with that but for the first four games of the season... He's probably going to have to start on the outside.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Agreed.

And you don't have to be Kreskin to sort out that without Lawrence and Gregory, Crawford will probably need to be used as the strong-side end while the guy they signed from Oakland will be the weakside end. Tapper and J Crawford will be the reserves.

 

[casmith07]

Randy Gregory is WAY on the outside looking in at this point.

 

[Cowboy06]

this is where Jerry just needs to stop talking

This...THIS...THIS?!?!? is what Jerry should be quiet? I'd say he should have been quiet in 1993...in the bar in front of others...just saying.

 

[Hardline]

Coach Jones ?

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Randy Gregory is WAY on the outside looking in at this point.

There was an interesting talk on The Ticket today about Hardy and his negative influence on the team, especially the other DL because Hardy was such a dynamic individual... long post short... It was brought up that Hardy may have been a bad influence for Gregory.

That being said I think Gregory has the most pure-pass rush potential on the team.

IF he has his head on straight he can be a dynamic pass rusher.

 

[waving monkey]

JJones said nothing that wasn't informational and what I've thought through the off season.
Of course the haters have the right to grumble

 

[darthseinfeld]

Agreed.

And you don't have to be Kreskin to sort out that without Lawrence and Gregory, Crawford will probably need to be used as the strong-side end while the guy they signed from Oakland will be the weakside end. Tapper and J Crawford will be the reserves.

I really want to see how much better Russell has gotten

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I don't get how it's thst outlandish when you factor in Crawford possibly going to DE we get our ends back.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I really want to see how much better Russell has gotten

He seems to be the forgotten linemen. No one ever talks about him.

 

[pansophy]

I would need someone other than Jerry to tell me that to have any credibility.

There is a story about why his production dropped in the news forum. Short version is that early in his career he was creating all kinds of havoc when he could shoot gaps and react to the ball. Then the scheme changed to gap control and he never even looked at the ball but was supposed to read the tackle to control the gaps for other guys to make plays.

He did it without complaint even though he became a forgotten man. We will use him to create havoc and that is what his strengths are. Be excited.

 

[CATCH17]

I like these 2 picks but I hate our current defense.
