TNew is better than any CB we have right now, and Henry was solid.
James was better, ha, what did he ever do. He was decent, but not better, especially all by himself.
Bradie James was a very solid MLB. Wish we had his equal now.
Throughout the year, my biggest issue about our run defense was Parson's inability to set the edge. Teams were running right at him and taking advantage of his over agressiveness. In my opinion, those outside runs actually gave us more problems then within the interior. Quinn used his off the ball against the 49ers in the playoff game two years ago, where we kept their strong ground game in check until they played too many snaps. Many will say taking Parsons off the ball hurts our pass rush, but his stats sacks will pretty much the same as a rookie playing more off the ball.
I’m looking for pass rush from anyone but Parsons.
Two years ago, once they took away all those twists/stunts to help stop the run, Armstrong's sack numbers totally disappeared. Has never been a great run defender, either. Good, role player, but I wouldn't break the bank to keep him by any means. He is probably going to get 8-10 million, that is too rich what he provides.
That void needs to be filled by Sam Williams, who the team spent a 2nd rd pick on. It's his 3rd year, it's time to take that next step!
Armstrong and Osa both have developed into solid players. Like most coaches you have some good and some bad. And sonetimes they were given a player who just wasn’t good. Mazi may develop into a decent NT and I think that’s how Zimmer will use him but I said then I thought he was drafted too high. I think they seen his athletic ability and thought they could make a pass rusher out of him but he’s to slow off the snap to ever be a pass rusher to me. Just fatten him back up and make a plugger out of him the next couple years and see if it works or you move on
the Cowboys dropped a little bit and sack totals but they're not that far away from the rest of the NFL's top sack teams and they also are very high on the list and pressures so as a team we're tie with about four other teams for 13th overall with 46 sacks but that's only three away from being 5th in the NFL in sacks,,, I mean the number one team yes had 60 that would be the Ravens and how they didn't make the Super bowl I don't know have they lost that championship game I don't know their defense was ridiculous all year however let's not exaggerate I believe our team does a really good job getting pressure and sacks they missed out on a bunch and there was a lot of holding and we saw the whole thing but really when you're tie with a bunch of teens at 13 but you're only like 3 sacks away from being 5th I mean sure the goal is to be #1 but don't act like we're like at the bottom of the league in sacks and I bet you look up pressures alone that's where all those turnovers come from...
I think Quinn wanted it. I suspect they seen he was a freak athlete and thought he could be a pass rusher. That’s not his game because he’s way to slow off the snaps. Fatten him up and put him at NT and make the best of what he can actually do
The dude was in the dog house I don't know what you mean by time to step up give him the snaps that tank gets like the amount of time on the field and you'll see the guys got all the talent in the world he could put those numbers up... I have no doubt the man can be a star in our defense if the coaches allow him to get on the field so yeah if we allow Fowler and or Armstrong to get away it is time for Sam Williams to literally get a 40% bump in snaps put his *** on the field and let him play.. I think his two off field issues that he's had made the coaches a little irritated with him and didn't give him the snaps like I said I think he was in the doghouse especially the start this year but the man's first step his quickness his instincts is what you want from your defensive end and yeah he's a little bit overzealous where on special teams with the penalties but the guy is there as a playmaker just needs to calm down a little bit at the end of those plays but it shows how quick he is and how athletic he is and look at the snaps just look at how little he's on the field and the presence he can have we don't want him to turn into Randy Gregory and I think that just give the guy the increased play time.. His stat sheet will fill up if we do this isn't a Randy Gregory thing where he's suspended...
They aren’t going to be able to keep veterans like Armstrong much long as their price gets higher, a player like Williams has to become that next in line. Has all the talent, just needs that opportunity
Frankly cleaning house for all the position coaches would be a good idea as far as I am concerned
Some of the problem could have been the difficulty in integrating into a scheme with more flex and the ability to hide alternatives that will be apparent in the newly arriving scheme in executions. There will be some talent adjustments on the way to integrated actions.
of course some players are simply in the doghouse and he's been in DQ's doghouse.it apparent. hopefully zimmer finds that middle ground for this guy you need to get him to come under control a bit but dont want to suppress that energy and motor.
Might not have the mental talent.
Mazi is not quick laterally, the hallmark of a disruptive DT. I have no idea why we continuously ignore this facet of athleticism as the players who lack it just keep failing. Jeff Heath, Reggie Robinson, Eric Scott, and a host of others. And we just keep drafting them. How many SS types who couldn't turn have we drafted in the mid/late rounds? It's been a pile.
Yeah, you can find players of his ilk in the mid to late rounds every draft.
Well done.
He is more of a good, rotational type, not a starter in this league. Think Fehoko could match his production with a little more development.
