Armistead and Rankins

AsylumGuido · 02-04-2018, 08:03 AM

I saw a couple of ex-players gushing over Rankins recently on NFL Network. They said in their film studies that he is constantly eating up two blockers giving Jordan and other defenders a more open lane. He is doing his job and doing it at a high level.

I would have to trust their opinion over mine, but I am not seeing it. We need real help along our dline. There were times if Cam couldn't get there it was as if there was literally no one else.

I thought Okafor going down was huge because of that.

We're not getting what we need at the nose; but for where we took Rankins, he should be splitting double teams a lot more...

Mickster/Payton screwed up not getting in on the signing of Damon Harrison; we should have more interior production...

Definitely move Mr. Glass; disappointed in Rankins' numbers, but it is very premature to move him at this time...

Get interior help, take Taven Bryan then leave Rankins at DE, take a Vita Vea, move him back to DT3...
