Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

uh oh

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

my exact thought
don't need to google who he is, only need to know who he isn't

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

Jacksonville Jaguars (2006−2008)
Miami Dolphins (2009−2012)
Seattle Seahawks (2013−2014)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2015)
Seattle Seahawks (2016)

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

We'll need to see his contract to see who the Saints think he could be.

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

It won't be who we wish he was.

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

We're at 89 on the roster at the moment before signing McDaniel and another long snapper...

But I gotta feeling this signing addresses Devaroe Lawrence, who's not been available...

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

I heard on the radio that McDaniel graded out better than any of our DT's against the run in 2016. If accurate, that is a plus.

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

But what about the pass? We were killed by pass catching RBs last year and last couple of years. I thought we did well vs between the tackle backs outside of the likes of DJ and Freeman last year.

"Had him ranked #26 on the big board" "Gave him a "6" cause he has a good beat and is easy to dance too" Right back after this Pimple Cream commercial!!

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

Nobody saw the Nick Fairley situation. Thinking we bring in someone else once the rosters get refined. This is more of a patch effort. Not the worse situation. Something better will develop.

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

solid depth signing given all the youth we have up front. he was a cap causality in Seattle

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

He didn't suck but didn't make any waves either. Just a plug for a hole in the hull. We are going to find another body once rosters shake out.

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

I'm not sure if there is a body out there better than what we already have on the roster.

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

Let's give the guy a chance before we drive him out of town!

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

2016 was one of his best seasons as a Pro (see Saints vs Seattle last year- 2 assist, 2 solo tackles) on a stacked D line. He's also one hell of a run stuffer. He'll definitely compete with Davison and Onyemata for the top backup spot at DT.

Training camp awaits.

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

Fairley was the better run stopper and Onyamata is the better pass rusher I believe. So he can help Davison with the rotation to stay fresh hoefully.

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

Hoefully? That just makes my mind go many places it shouldn't.... :-D

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

Fairley was a beast, great run stuffer and equally as good rushing the passer. Hopefully, Onyamata and Rankins step it up another notch. The line is still the strength of the defense. Biggest question mark is the linebackers

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

This signing is fine with me. Big man to plug the hole and can hold his own. He want get the stats Fairley had but plays well enough to hold his own. The front line might have just got stouter.

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

Happy enough with the signing

Been on a few good lines over the past few years
Solid veteran depth,might not pull up any trees but he will offer solid depth and rotation. Hopefully though Fairley will be back

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

Championship!

Here are some opinions from Seahawk fans about Tony's past production up there last season.

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

He just seems more of a 3-4 defensive end than a DT, but he's a great body to have in camp and evaluate what we have in camp...

Re: Saints Sign DT Tony McDaniel
 

I would like to go onto the official record as doing 3-5 minutes of Google scouting and identifying this player as the DT we would bring in (after I whiffed on Wilfork). The team owes me a dollar.
