Mason Graham vs Abdul Carter

[manxman2601]

well I know Keion played some DT because of the health issues of Godchaux and now Barrmore. So I was thinking in terms of that. But Titans also could be shopping Harold Landry?

I'm really discussing the two EDGE positions, probably in a 4 man front. Presumably White takes on of the EDGE positions but there really anyone on the roster to take the other.

Jennings is great against the run and holding the edge. Need a 3rd down pass rusher to sub Jennings out for QB pressure.

How is White as an edge setter? Say we do draft Carter, would you go Jennings-Carter or White-Carter as an early down team on the edges? I'm assuming if we're drafting Carter at 4, he'll be getting the majority of snaps.

We will need a vet in addition to Carter. I think Wise Jr. is finished.

Maybe that marshmallow thing wasn't too far off.

In all seriousness, I did some research to see how much of an issue this is. It's there but perhaps not overly serious,

'1-tech' DT Defensive snaps 2024

Deone Walker - 540 (1 game less)
Kenneth Grant - 547
Mason Graham - 548
Tyleik Williams - 586
Walter Nolen - 587
Derrick Harmon - 591
Alfred Collins - 592
Ty Robinson - 598

So there is a bit of a dropdown for the Michigan guys as you rightly point out, but we're only talking about 40-50 snaps over a full season or 3-4 snaps per game.

The way I look at it is if he is this quick and strong now wait until he gets into a NFL program. I actually am for DL to get rotated on a regular basis to keep them fresh.

The fact that teammates Graham and Grant had an almost identical snap rate suggests Graham's lower snaps was a strategic decision rather than one determined by tiredness.
