Plan to fix pass rush. from inside

[NorthwestDallas40]

I see no free agent DE's that would be a true difference-maker and whom we can afford (JPP would be the only one, but NY will not let him go and we won't pay what it will take)... and we all know that a rookie DE (picked at 28 or 60) is not going to do it in his first year and maybe not even in his second (that's assuming we get the right one)... so, I feel like the best strategy is to create pass rush from the interior. First step is to cut Tyronne Crawford. Will save $7.25 million in salary. Second step is to trade 4th/conditional 3rd for Sheldon Richardson and use that $7.25 million toward re-signing him to a long term deal (he is signed at $8 million in salary for 2017). He is a true difference maker on the inside. He has been stuck in a 3-4 scheme that does not play to his strengths of get-off and quickness. I think he can be a disruptive DT in our 4-3. Third step is to coach Jaylon Smith up on blitzing in conjunction with stunts by Malik Collins and Richardson. This inside pass rush would be difficult for any OL to handle. And the pressure in a QB's face is often more effective than from around the edge (especially for guys like A Rodgers and Eli). Our four existing DE's -- D Law, Mayowa, D Irving, Tapper -- and a rookie DE will have 1-on-1 matchups with OL's focusing on those three beasts on the inside. I think they can get some sacks by default.

I dont believe Richardson is RKG in our system. Immature misses meetings ,drugs ect.
Bowles does say he plays hard.

Our DTs are our strength on D.....TCrawford, MCollins, Irving, Thornton

Only go for Richardson if a contract is worked out with the trade. Otherwise he's gone after one year.

Without good DEs we will be in the same mess. Sending waves of Home Depot and FedEX guy with various back and shoulder issues won't stop Rodgers and Matty Ice ( Our NFC competition)

i actually think i am a fan of inside pressure. but do we have the guys with that ability? not so sure.
would it take a different player than Marinelli wants? would love to have the good qbs having to back up before they throw

I believe JPP is good as gone and Giants fans that I am friends with agree.

They just handed out huge money in the offseason to several defenders---they also have a very good safety they have to resign in a year or two and Odell can make every case to be the top paid receiver in the league.

With their offensive weapons, Giants would be dumb to give another 80 million dollar contract to a defensive end. It would be like if we resigned Leary for a ton of cash and ignored the defense.

I just don't see us being the team that spends to bring him in

I think we've given Ty Crawford long enough to prove he's the answer. I don't think he is. I think new blood like Richardson is worth a shot.

Crawford only saves 7.25MM if designated June 1.

And JPP is overrated.
