Re: PFF: Interior Defender Grades
Sheldon's doing some great things. He's just having to face most of the double teams because we don't have an impactful NT.

To see Rankins ranked below guys like Akiem Hicks and Al Woods is a real head scratcher... Look, he's playing and starting as a first round pick, as he should, I'm just asking if we could've gotten the same production from a third round pick? |

Re: PFF: Interior Defender Grades
On a another note, former UDFA and FA signee from the Browns LB Craig Robertson drew this praise from PFF:
New Orleans Saints: Linebacker Craig Robertson has an average depth of tackle of 1.8 yards past the line of scrimmage. That is the lowest for any linebacker with ten or more tackles this season. |

Not that PFF is the end all, be all, but their criticism of Rankins is that while his play is solid, he's not taking full advantage on some plays as he could and should, which is why I'm asking y'all's take because I feel I'd like to see more production on the 13th pick of the draft... Guess Lattimore and Ramczyk has set the bar high now for Saints' first round picks... |

Re: PFF: Interior Defender Grades
Keep seeing that third name on that pictograph and can't help but recall a few people, including Hagan, who wanted Harrison...
If SP and the Mickster had put Fairley through a physical before extending him to that kind of money, we may have had the time, resources to get the Big Snacks... |

Re: PFF: Interior Defender Grades
The did give him a physical didn't they?
Either way he always had a heart condition that could become a issue any time. Can't blame them for it happening after so many years of playing without a issue. |

Re: PFF: Interior Defender Grades
Could do with some real mass on that line
Most our our guys are 300-320lb max. A Wilfork/Harrison type especially when they shift to a 3 man front. Dont think anyone we have is big enough to hold the middle alone. Don't want to get in them to much though and they are in general keeping thst pocket closed and stopping people escaping the edge pressure |
