We moved up in the draft to take a NT. That’s the usual thoughts behind many Dline in the 3-4. Two gap and hold your ground….let the LBs make the plays running clean.

That's the tricky part. Alot now coming out of college that can do both(round 1 picks),so you need to be careful you aren't overpaying unless the versatility is there,or at least the potential for said versatility

Some say Dullaz is interested in Reagor. I can't see an inter divisional deal unless it's WAY too good to pass on. You know GB could whip him into shape,I would start there,maybe KC could use him too. Jax would be another place

I look at our three man Dline as Davis and Milton. Who or what type do you want as the third man?

Anybody that gets him off our books.

Minshew living out of his converted prison bus,driving back and forth from Philly to Bonita Springs(which was 25 mins from where I used to live lol). All that worked with him off season say he is in the best shape of his life and he is not handing Hurts the job. So both guys have put the effort in this off season. Nice to know if Hurts goers down,we can still play ball

Titans also. After losing Brown, and with a team that is run heavy, he may fit there also. Henry is basically their offense,so he wouldn't be under alot of pressure. I think Brown wanted out because he WANTS the pressure and the success of proving you can play,not be an afterthought on a run based team

Jalen Carter, Davis teammate at Georgia, would be incredible!

How long before we have something interesting to discuss?

How long does it take for rumors to start leaking out of TC? Buttoned down Novacare sure isn’t old Lehigh.

Like what is "interesting to discuss?" We did NOT sign the RB Hardy. I'll talk about anything

Just don’t want to hear any negative injury stuff. So the less news the better probably before we hit 8/12 to get a look at things. How exposed do we get to the look of our D? 

Why did we need to bring back Barnett? How is Sweat going to be utilized? Graham I can envision plenty of ways. How is Reddick lined up?

Anything interesting is not having that dead horse we've been beating on for the past month

Whole season depends on that dead horse LOL. IDK why we are loading up at NT,I would rather see another punter in here. I guess we're just going to hand the job to Sipos and HOPE

You figure Edwards and Dean ILB. Reddick strong side rush backer. Who plays that other Outside backer role?

White?

I would think Edwards would come out and White in.

I will be interested to see if we do S blitzing more now that we have Tartt. He loves to hit people

White in I would think also means Maddox in the slot

Patrick Johnson?

IDK we got Davion Taylor in the 2020 draft in round 3. He needs to show us a little bit. I think we will see a variety of defensive sets. I can see us running 34,43,52 depending on who we play

https://footballadvantage.com/5-2-defense/  Here's the 52 defense

In the 52,both LB's are considered ILB's. This can be tweaked any number of ways,would not surprise me to see this utilized

The next young guy.  That's next year's move.

Such as having the defensive ends operate as a standing outside linebacker or having the free safety or strong safety approach the line of scrimmage before the snap of the ball to create even more pressure and confusion.

The 5-2 defense also allows for a blitz to come from just about anywhere on the field, and it’s very challenging for offensive linemen and even running backs to pick up this extra pressure with five down defensive linemen.       This really would play to Tartts strength IMO

Yes, like a 3/4 defense.
