Going “fine” at one edge and pure hopium with a second year guy who showed next to nothing last year outside of two games, at the other edge is a recipe for failure.
Good at everything except the main job — getting the quarterback
next year, next year, next year
Don't worry, we're going to be hoping a draft pick pans out on both sides of the line next season.
Agree. Even if Darius doesn't close the deal the kid is disruptive as hell. Guys who create chaos in the backfield make all but the best quarterbacks jittery even without the sacks.
That’s assuming Robinson’s actually good and can make an impact immediately as a rookie.
I dunno. He doesn't have to be good; he just has to be meaningfully better than Roy Lopez or LJ Collier.
dante Stills and Garrett Williams pretty good so far
Have they? They're rotational players on a team that's gone 4-14 during their time here.
Thanks for shedding a bit on an otherwise dark declaration
Garrett Williams is losing snaps to Starling Thomas, who's awful.
Williams plays slot
Maybe his pre game meal is a mess of greasy ham hocks and he’s not much of a hand washer.
I’m just glad we didn’t play any of our starters all preseason in a bunch of “meaningless” games. We need to save our guys for the playoffs, LOL!There's been a lot of concern about our Edge rush. It's an obvious weakness, and after Sunday I've seen a number of fans and people like Johnny Venerable criticise Monti for not doing more.
My question is, what "more" could that have been? Below is a list of FA Edge signed this offseason. Who on this list were you banging the table for or would have signed in hindsight at these prices? Which draft pick would you have done differently?
For me, the only guy here that stands out is Chase Young. He's still young, and has obvious upside. It's easy to say he should have done something, but with the collective brains of this board, what is it?
I think he's probably fine but it is surprising he's relegated to the bench so we can get ST5 more snaps.
Actually his ceiling is that of Arnold from “Different Strokes”.
It ignores all that we don’t know because we aren’t nfl insiders. We will never know any edge rusher would have been available for trade, for example. Just because someone didn’t get traded doesn’t mean that the gm might not have been open to a deal that monti could’ve provided. Most trades the cards have made over years have come outta the blue.
