We Still Need DL Help

Status
Not open for further replies.
Milton
Pharms
Farmer
Roy
White (if Barmore is unable to play)

Imo we are good at IDL
Problem is, if White has to bump inside, we’re relying on Chaisson or Stinson to contribute starter-level pass rush reps.

DT or edge, we’re short one player in our DL rotation.

I believe Williams wants to keep white inside.. his strength is an interior rusher.. chaisson and gibbens as well as Swinson can give us some pass rush versatility..

White, Barmore, Tonga, Williams
Farmer, Pharms, Roy
==========
I think that we have the right number (7 DL, 4 EDGE, 4 ILB). I just think that I would like an upgrade of Pharms or Roy.

As far as EDGE, we have Landry, Chaisson, Swinson, and Jennings
=========
INSIDE
we have Spillane, Tavai, Ellis and Gibbens, with Mapu waiting in the wings. I suspect that Spillane and/or Gibbens can take rep on the outside if needed.
 
White is going to play outside about ⅔ of the time and at DT about ⅓ of the time. That’s basically what he did last season, and it’s also an easy projection to the new defense because it’s what Vrabel’s Titans did with Denico Autry from 2021-2023.

Everybody me included always seems to forget Jennings. Important to remember him for this conversation.

I have confidence that Chaisson would thrive with starter reps. I think we will see Williams playing on the edge often as well.

I am really excited to see Jennings in a more attacking defense. At Bama Jennings was proficient at getting to the QB, he is a better edge setter than pass rusher right now but I think it has more to do with what has been his primary responsibility.
