Veteran EDGE targets for 2025

[Shane]

I think MO put alot of stock into BJO and when he blew that knee out it was just deflating.

If that’s the case it’s still a huge mistake. You can’t rely on an unproven 2nd year player. Who already had an injury history no less.

 

[Stout]

For me, this was Monti's biggest miss.

We can debate whether or not keeping Allen was actually possible.

We can debate trading back from Will Anderson and getting Paris.

We can debate a number of other draft picks.

What is not debatable for me is having a glaring need at EDGE, multiple FA options, more than enough cap space, and ignoring it. If you gave me one question that Monti had to answer honestly, that would probably be it.

No question this was an inexcusable blunder.

Dayum! Did this post come from a place of insecurity? jk

I'll see myself out.

Maybe we'll get another Beej in rd. 2 this year. Joy and rapture

I was ringing this bell a lot last year, well before the injury.

agreed, i wonder if he also relied heavily on darius Robinson as well.

You can’t say that because free agency happens before the draft he didn’t know he was gonna have Darius Robinson to possibly count on… Plus he’s not an OLB/edge

 

[football karma]

next year the clear expectations for JG and the team are to make the playoffs

Monti will be doing his coach and roster a serious disservice if his approach to improving pressure on the QB is via the draft only, and/or, counting on BJ Ojulari and/or a full year of Darius Robinson

he HAS to get a credible veteran pass rusher that can be expected to contribute from week 1. and i dont mean resigning Barron Browning (which i think he should)

6:24am? This is exactly why I try to drink coffee before I post on social media. You are not you when you’re uncaffeinated.

3 out of 4 of my bans come from posting within an hour of waking up. I am one grumpy bitch first thing in the morning

 

[Dayman]

I would keep Browning around as a situational pass rusher. He had 10 pressures and 7 hurries in his 8 games here. That's pretty solid. Especially compared to Zaven Collins, who had 13 pressures and 5 hurries in 17 games.

Sign a DT free agent. Draft the best pass rusher with our first pick. Take an o-lineman in the secon.

Bach went all-in on that ban.

Not sure why people can't be civil...

 

[dreamcastrocks]

No question this was an inexcusable blunder.

It is inexcusable looking at it in hindsight. Who knew Houston would finally turn the corner with the 2nd drafted QB in the draft instead of the first? With a rookie head coach...

Just about everyone going into the season thought that the pick would be top 5. It was like Monti was on a nut flush draw, after already having top pair on an otherwise dry board. (excuse the poker reference)

It isn't like we also didn't have a need a tackle as well.

Do both DT and Edge in FA, at least one each.

Take an OT who can also play guard in the first if the talent is there, move up a bit if needed.

I agree.

Most OTs that can play G aren't usually drafted in the top half of the first round. Most are high prospect tackles. You can trade down from 16 to get one of those if necessary.

Sometimes the delivery of what you feel is the perfect retort is worth it.

I think he is referencing my post about ignoring the top FA pass rushers last year.

That makes a ton more sense, and in that case I agree.

I suppose...

You're off topic. I was responding to Monti refusing to sign an edge when good edge players were available last year.

Will Campbell | OT | LSU​

This offense has multiple needs up front, so a versatile blocker with tons of upside would be an ideal fit. Enter Campbell, a young and somewhat raw prospect with plenty of starting experience at tackle, but also the skill set to slide inside and play guard if necessary. He could make an instant impact at either right tackle or along the interior before eventually replacing Trent Williams at left tackle.
