He needs to put in a lot of work and hopefully going undrafted makes him the first one in the door at 5 am and the last one to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We couldn't take them all, but one or two where we actually had picks? This is like when they traded for Gowan and Vincent last year and supposedly loved them so much they continued to pass on them repeatedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazletonEagle Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 4 minutes ago, downundermike said: Maybe not, looking like we may be going to more of a 3-4 look to the defense. Not sure though because we dont really have those type of DEs. Sweat probably shouldnt have been paid so much if he isnt going to get to rush the passer. Its a poor fit for Graham and Barnett. Your only true rush LB is Reddick. Maybe Sweat can play the other one? Or else you may be looking at starting Kyron Johnson. I dont think its going to be a pure 3-4. Looks like theyre just getting more personnel to run Gannon's 4-3 under the way it needs to be run. Or, as Honest NFL mentioned the 5-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He became the youngest QB in franchise history to take this team to the playoffs and did so in his first season as starter . He is your 2022 starting QB. Strong will not be competing for the starting job, he will be fighting for a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazletonEagle Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 11 minutes ago, Connecticut Eagle said: I think we may need to revisit this. Not sure if we are going to be fielding traditional 4-3 DEs as this defense evolves. Riddick and now Johnson and the other standup / SAM types sort of point to a different scheme, thus different personnel requirement. yes. that is clear. But you have Sweat and Milton Williams who fit that. And their backups? Need more. We knew that going in to the draft. 11 minutes ago, ManuManu said: I was looking for Brugler’s write up on Blankenship, but he was his 46th safety and had nothing on him beyond workout numbers. Its really puzzling how he was buzzing last year. Stayed in school, and then was completely forgotten about this entire year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making quick decisions and throwing on time. And not turning the ball over. The guy has the total package as an NFL passer. There is no way he is not going to be a starter if his knee is ok.

He's 3rd on the depth chart, and he can't run the offense that Hurts requires as QB1. BUT... the fact that they targeted Strong so strongly would indicate that they don't want to run the offense that Hurts would flourish in, but rather an actual NFL offense and a legit passing game.

He didnt have sack production because they werent often rushing the QB without reading first. It seems we are going back to the philosophy- "play the run on your way to the QB" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
