Only need 2 true LBs in a 3-4. And they will be in nickel most of the time anywayWe had better get a few linebackers if we are going to a 3-4
He had 4 sacks last year and 26 tackles. Did we have a DT with 4 sacks? Maybe we did
Nesta,LT and JHH we're all better then him last season. His big game was against Colorado last year were he had 2 Sacks and 3 Tackles, one of them was a Coverage sack. He's a good player that will be in the rotation for us but I don't think he's a Day 1 All Conference Type DL, that's what I meant by he doesn't turn the needle for us.Nesta, him and who else? JHH maybe. I love LT too but this kid outproduced him this past year
DT or DE?
Actually I guess we don’t know until we know who our DC will be and what scheme he runs
Either way good pick up. Kid seems versatile and productive
I don’t care about stats at DT, it’s the least of my worries. I want somebody filling gaps and causing rb’s to bounce. There’s no stat for that. I want a guy who can cave the pocket from the inside ,which causes the qb to leave the pocket and take his eyes off the receivers.Nesta,LT and JHH we're all better then him last season.

I think he will be In the rotation in 2022, give us 30-35 snaps a game and have 4-5 Sacks. 2023 I believe he will be a key starter for us and could be upper echelon ACC IDL considering he will be 24 at that point lol
Hopefully this guy can do that. He has to be like 23 or something at this pointI don’t care about stats at DT, it’s the least of my worries. I want somebody filling gaps and causing rb’s to bounce.

Nesta was the only dt that was somewhat consistent. But even he was more flash plays. As a player nobody on our DL has shown to be more than a pretty good player or less. That’s why our defense was trash, we need dudes on the DL. The DL and especially the dt’s dictate how good your defense will be. All I see is meh so far. LT doesn’t count because he was a true fr. The rest have been meh.
Bring me dudes on the DL via the portal or HS.
Rumor I'm hearing is our next portal addition is none other than Frank Ladson.We’ll be busy until the semester starts and maybe even add some over the summer too.
PFF has stats for that.I don’t care about stats at DT, it’s the least of my worries. I want somebody filling gaps and causing rb’s to bounce. There’s no stat for that. I want a guy who can cave the pocket from the inside ,which causes the qb to leave the pocket and take his eyes off the receivers.

Harvey had a very disappointing season to me. I expected more. I liked what I saw more from Chantz Williams and Elijiah Roberts. Both need to become more consistent, though.I don’t care about stats at DT, it’s the least of my worries. I want somebody filling gaps and causing rb’s to bounce. There’s no stat for that.

Exactly. When I described him Tuesday night i said am older kid that’s a very solid to good starter / rotational guy. The trenches are where grown men are normally more effective.Hopefully this guy can do that. He has to be like 23 or something at this point
Did Ford have 4 tackles ? You could’ve sat a folding chair in his spot and got more from it
Yep. Mario said in his recruiting interview video that it's going to be on-going **** near all the way until the season starts. Pretty much alluded to that they won't stop looking for players because things might happen like injures, players transferring out, etc...We’ll be busy until the semester starts and maybe even add some over the summer too.

That’s being nice dude lolHarsh. ... But I'll take a 4-sack interior guy. Don't really see him as a 4-3 DE. Will be interesting to see how he's used.
