Twitter: McCarthy: "I want six rushers and four inside players on DL"

[Kolemmitt]

I think this means that there will be some attention paid to stopping the run and pushing the pocket into the QBs lap as opposed to just shooting gaps and hoping for the best.

I like to hear that!

Tell me about it. FINALLY!

Sounds like Big Mike wants to control the trenches. No more giving up 30 to 35 points in the playoffs, having quarterbacks run around and extend plays or running backs gash you for 275 yards.

I'm with you big Mike, I'm with you.

It's great to have a plan. But it takes talent, too.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

He never said that the inside players could not be pass rushers.

 

[Mr_437]

Haha... I like Big Mike talking about scoring 35 points already. Right now they have 1 legit pass rusher, the other guys just hold blockers, so they have some work to do on the edge.

OK Mr. Smart......lol
Serious question.......trying to count how many rushers we currently have under contract for 2020. DLaw, Armstrong, Quinn ( if signed ), ????

Jackson? Draft and or FA? If the CBA passes...Gregory??

At DT...Woods, Collins, Hill, draft, FA?

 

[big dog cowboy]

This isn't good news it's GREAT news!

I've been saying forever that the game is won in the trenches.

This really opens up the 17th pick to CB, S and DL. Cowboys might take highest one on their board regardless of position.

I'd still like to see a small trade down and get 4 players on day 1 and day 2 (DL, S, CB and WR).

Pass Rushers - 1. DLaw, 2.Quinn ( I hope), 3. Armstrong, 4. Jackson, 5. Hyder (I hope -a cheaper version Crawford - can rush inside or backup DE), 6. Gregory, Jelks, or Draft

IDL - 1. Woods, 2. Collins or other FA (Billings, Shelton, etc - maybe even two, since I really do not trust Hill) 3. Hill 4. Draft

 

[cowboyec]

we're gonna kick so much @#$ under McCarthy....the rest of the league will begg...BEGG...him to quit.
and he won't.
he'll just laugh.
as we continue to kick tail.

 

[LatinMind]

Lmao nah not alignment more about how many we carry and what kind on the roster

10 DL

4DT, 6DE basically

They would be wise to use jaylon blitzing from the will.

 

[LatinMind]

Lawrence, Gregory, Armstrong is what they got right now. Gregory will be reinstated once the cba is done. I think u can replace quinn with gregory too. I think the bring up daniel wise this yr. Bring in a vet and draft one. Gregory cures alot of headaches with a new cba.

Dt is a different story. They basically have crawford and woods, hill if they can get his head right. I hope they dring in tyeler davison and draft jordan elliot to go with crawford and hill. Or release crawford and bring back bennet

 

[ESisback]

My fave scenario...

DE...Lawrence, Quinn, Gregory, Jackson, Armstrong, Jelks or FA or draft.

DT...Collins, Woods, Billings, Draft

 

[Bowdown27]

Remember this a coach that signed Julius Peppers and squeezed 5-6 years out of him when most thought he was washed up. This is why I expect us to sign at least 2-3 mid-tier defensive player.

Well put. Damn made me more excited for free agency lol

Armstrong doesn’t count. He’s worthless.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Armstrong doesn’t count. He’s worthless.

Why? He was only a 4th round pick. He should now be ready to step up and contribute. There were many positive scouting reports on him. He may not turn out to be anything but it's too soon to say he's worthless.

I'm lovin' me some Mikey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Please don't tell the wifey!!!)

I bet there were several people on this site that got wood on that Tweet

I would kind of like to see a trade back myself 3-4 spots, depending on who is there when we pick. If a top 10 player falls you make the pick.

Otherwise we could trade back just a little and still have some options on the board when we pick.

 

[Verdict]

There should be a really good player there when we pick at #17. We don’t need to reach and whiff on that pick.
