"DE" Weakest Link

[jdlboot14]

We have to talk about DE/EDGE as the weakest position on the team.
With Jacas a no-show so far, and Landry still working through his knee injury... it is time to get real about a FA DE.
We can't count on Jones & Ponder all season.

Barth mentioned the idea of signing Clowney for a 1 year lightning bottle type of role. And I'm not dismissing it.
He had nearly the exact same stats as Landry last year in half the starts in DAL.
Sure, he's way past his prime, but he's still very strong and can set the edge and still get to the QB.

If we can't figure out a big trade (Thibodeaux, Highsmith) would you consider Clowney or Bosa?

I still prefer a Boutte and Douglas / 6th for Thibodeaux trade at this time.

The weakest position on the team is off-ball linebacker.
Otherwise fine, although I'm only signing Bosa if he agrees to go back on the juice.

Pass rush is their weakest link by far. Nobody is scared of their DE/Edge players. Landry is okay, but you could see his knee is slowing him down. Jones is a JAG. I didn't like that signing at all.

I've never been a fan of Clowney, but he's familiar with Vrabel. I won't be shocked if he's a late off-season addition.

Absolutely not on Bosa. He sucks.

Thibodeaux is pedestrian. Highsmith is erratic.

I'd rather swing a trade for Josh Sweat.

Is he cooked?

IMO 34 is too old (Matthew Judon is 34)...

If that’s the case, we still have a few other options out there.

And time. Players will get released, more will ask for trades.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Is he cooked?

Yes. Even during his best seasons in 2019 and 2020, he was exposed in the playoffs. He's never been feared as a potential game wrecking pass rusher and is a stiff when caught in space.

Eff Barth, I've been beating the Clowney drum for months.
Barth is very late to my party
