texasfalconfan Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I hear a lot of talk about beasly only being a 3rd down player. My question is with the loss of peters are we good at dt. I know we have hageman and babineaux, but after that are we good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Kent™ Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Could always upgrade, but i think what we have is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*TMo* Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) I think it remains to be seen. I've had this discussion quite a lot lately. With the new scheme there are three defensive linemen that need to be big and physical, much like a 3-4. The LEO is more like a linebacker with his hand down in a wide nine who is dedicated to rush the passer. The two big guys we signed last year didn't seem to work in the scheme we had. It seemed like there were not attacking. I don't know if that was scheme and/or their lack of ability. Hopefully the new staff has that all figured out. We should know their assessment by the end of the draft. Edited May 1, 2015 by *TMo* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychic Gibbon Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 The combination of Soliai, Hageman, Jackson, and Babs should be good enough for next season. I'm more concerned with the 5/6-tech DE spot. I like Clayborn but I would not rely on him staying healthy through the season and his backups aren't up to snuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychic Gibbon Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 If Clayborn goes down we could put Babs or Jackson there I think. Which would leave us thin with the interior D-line. We should target someone like Odighizuwa later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Hitter Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 If Clayborn goes down we could put Babs or Jackson there I think. And Goodman too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Hitter Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I would like to draft Grady Jarrett. Babs is getting older and Jackson is not worth the contract he received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasfalconfan Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 The biggest reason I asked is because if we can't stop the run on 1st and 2nd down it doesn't matter how good a pass rusher beasly is and I believe last year we were terrible at stopping the run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GleasonForever! Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) ^^^^ Thank you for pointing that Soliai couldn't stop jack squat up the middle. He's getting older too. He played in a similar scheme in Miami when Nolan was there and he has regressed. He got pushed back 5 yard before a FB could steam roll Worrilow. We need an upgrade at Nose. Quinn had Mebane. Get us a Mebane TD Edited May 1, 2015 by GleasonForever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*TMo* Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Wonder how much of Tyson Jackson and Paul Soliai's contracts are guaranteed for this year? That might determine how or even if we draft one tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
