If he plays like last season I love having him...guys always play hards when money is on the line. Hope it works out because it helps our dline a lot.

Defensive tackle should have great balance, now we have defensive line coach and the talent


The rotation at dt ...rankin, fairley, Davidson, and onyemata

For those of you who always talk about hometown discounts, rejoice! We finally got one! I like the deal, both from a financial standpoint and in terms of length. I don't think we could have asked for much better.

They hardly ever happen, but this one was a hometown deal. I think the fact that his family could drive to the games from Mississippi was a factor. Another factor, I believe, is how he flourished in Dennis Allen's defense. They are a perfect fit.

who has info on the guard we signed?

Top overall grade: LT Taylor Decker, 82.8 (No. 23)

Top pass-blocking grade: RG Larry Warford, 82.6 (No. 33)

Top run-blocking grade: RG Larry Warford, 81.8 (No. 16)

The play of rookie LT Taylor Decker was a pleasant surprise for this team. Decker was a player that didn’t overly impress PFF as a draft prospect out of Ohio State, but he was consistently solid all season, performing above-average as both a run blocker and pass protector in his first pro season. Larry Warford was markedly better than a year ago at RG, at least when it comes to run blocking, and Travis Swanson was solid at center. The biggest issue this team had was at LG, where the combination of Graham Glasgow and Laken Tomlinson simply took turns getting abused. As a pair, they surrendered six sacks, 10 penalties, and 49 total pressures, with neither countering that form with dominant run-blocking displays.

"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!

We didn't get to the qb. last season with him, why with signing him does anybody expect that to change, it won't. The run hurt us last year also and he doesn't play that well at all. We better get some bad a$$ cb's, here comes Mississippi 1 thru 10 again. I think we blew this one.

He had 6.5 sacks and a lot of pressures. Our problem was that we were only getting a pass rush out of him and Jordan for most of the year. When Ellerbe and Rankins got healthy we started getting more sacks and pressures. If we can (PLEASE GOD) stay healthy this coming year I think it's gonna be a much different story from last year. Especially if we manage to land a bad ass DE in the draft.

How often did you see the initial pressure and pocket collapse but there was always one side that failed to hold the edge and give the QB an escape route.

We need another DE to close that gap and some depth for rotation.
The LB didnt exactly help the run either

If you really think about it, we weren't playing with the starters or back up corners last year, we were playing with players literally off the streets. The defensive line was able to apply some pressure
