That's pretty close. LG is terrifying. TE1 is pretty scary.

On D, FS is scary, and I hope someone beats out Jackson at DE...but otherwise, that's about what it's going to look like.

I'm sure many teams fans could say the same things about a few of their positions of weakness. We are in a slight rebuild anyway. We will be fine.

Tyson Jackson at starting DE? No.

Just in base packages as a pure run stopper.

He will be will not be on the field on obvious passing situations. Then Clayborn will come in.

I honestly think that if Clayborn proves that he can stay healthy and be as productive as his rookie year, then he will be a 3-down starter before the season is over because he can add a very physical pass rush and be a monster in defending the run.

Hester is no receiving threat. Hardy is a beast. He will no doubt take HD's spot.

We don't know what Hardy is on the NFL yet. All indications are he will make a very good slot receiver but he doesn't have to start in order to make contributions.

We are not paying Hester as if he is only returning kicks. It wouldn't make since to carry his salary if he doesn't have a role on offense.

I agree he doesn't have good hands but fact is we should cut him if he has no role on offense.

Hankerson maybe there before Hardy but I really don't know shanny's sets well enough to know who is going to start.

I do know Hester is making big money to only be a glorified return man.

That's Calyborn's job to lose.

I don't see this. Tyson will be a rotational guy and I think Clayborn will start in this 4-3 base.

Do people just not pay any attention to what Dan Quinn says? He's already flat out told everyone that Jackson is the projected starter at the 5-tech DE in the base defense.

Hester wasn't signed to catch passes. He was signed to be a return threat.... because he's the best returner of all time and all

That's not true. They always intended Hester to play a key role on offense.

Yes, he was featured as a return man but he was brought in here to do both.

Check all the articles and press releases. According to Matt Ryan Hester runs great routes has good hands but I just don't see it.

3 Million a year, plus 2.5 signing bonus to return kicks? ?

The thing is, on the D line it really doesn't matter who starts or not. Guys are going to be rotated in based on down and situatiion. Even if you start the game, it doesn't mean you will play the most snaps. It all depends on what sub-package you're in. Edited by FentayeJones

If Hester was going to be cut it would have been done by now .But it's probably only one year before he's cut, out with the old and in with the new. Remember he's a great kick return specialist and with Weems still here,that leaves a door open for a multitude of options.
