Who do you think would replace them?
Buchanan is terrible against the run from what I've seen, Zach Moore isn't ready yet, and Will Smith/Bequette both look like roster cuts. Everyone says we have no depth at DE, but...
Jamie Collins has the athleticism and size to play DE. He played DE his senior year in college and was listed at DE when he was drafted. Then we still have Mayo/Hightower/Anderson at LB.
Hightower also played DE his senior year, but only on 3rd downs. He has the size to fit in at DE.
Easley also played quite a bit of DE, though he seemed to fair much better when inside at DT. He's played every position along the DLine.
Do you think any of these are a viable option if Nink or Jones miss extended time with an injury? IMO we have a wealth of players who could step in and put their hand in the dirt if needed.
