oh oh oh glory stats

way over rated IMO

I am looking for a 4-3 end providing strength against the run and some pass rush.

A DE that maintains his gap and has the ability to collapse pocket is vastly under rated.

He should get his share but I am expecting hurried passes and QB hits to be the area he excels. Mentally 2/3 QB in the south can not handle the mental part of the game while under constant pressure.

I want Cam to be crying about Alex early and often

Don't know that we need a 3-down DE like Jordan opposite Jordan...

A good, healthy rotation with guys with varying strengths and styles may acutally be more beneficial...

So long as we get 15-20 sacks from a rotation at that position of two to three defensive ends opposite Cam...

Yeah! And leave the other team's OL panting with their hands on their hips through the fourth quarter...
