push up the middle

This is where Casey Hampton in his prime was a big help. But players like him are far between.

A couple of years ago I was pushing for a high round draft choice at nose tackle. That idea got hammered down because people were calling the NT a two down position. I maintain that is a function of having the right NT.

Hargrove has shown some signs.

 

but we have big dan.

 

BIG DAN

 

I still think we need a legit NT on this team.

Both teams we watched last night had big anchors on their D-line... I refuse to believe it is a dead position.

 

Like a 500 lbs big piece of blubber

 

Not 500, but you know what I mean... Redzone defense would greatly improve. Aaron Smith and Hampton were stout. Tuitt and Heyward as good as they are can't compare in that regard.

 

Our defense then was beastly because we really didn't have a weakness
Especially 2008

Smith- underrated extremely good
Kiesel- beast
Hampton - beast

Woodley- really good
Farrior-beast
Foote- good
Harrison -legendary

Taylor-beast
McFadden-solid
Clark-beast
Troy- a god

 

Troy- The GOAT.


Fixed it for you.

 

wait, what. he woke up from that hit?

 

I agree. In his prime he was something else. Phenomenal... like a LT of his position.

 

Agree and some of my thoughts on the matter don't go over well in the Bill Nunn draft room

 

Hampton and A. Smith were a special duo indeed. A lot of the D's success started there.

 

Chasing a QB out of the pocket is different than getting past a RT to sack a QB in the pocket. Agree?

 

With Dupree being questionable vs. Browns with injury, I get the feeling we'll be drafting YET ANOTHER linebacker in the first round next year.

 

Aaron Smith was one of the best 5-techniques who ever played the game.

 

one of?
