Trust and believe.

I agree. We have good depth at the moment but I feel horrible for Rankins. That is a real bummer.

Big loss, but we got depth. We'll be fine.

Feel sorry for the guy. Had an amazing year and we could sure use him. Get well soon Sheldon.

Not sure what depth we have there... outside of Onymata Rankins was the only pass rushing DT. He will need some rotation to stay fresh. Pass rush was ineffective against PHI, but perhaps that’s due to losing Rankins and Foles quick release.

I would like to see Davenport play some DT this week on passing downs.. I think that’s the only option for a decent pass rush at the DT position, or perhaps move Cam inside with Davenport at the DE..

Cameron Jordan is on the "inside" almost never. He sets the edge better than anyone on the roster.

Stallworth (played well all season) and T Davison are more than capable. I wouldn't be surprised to see TRex (Hendrickson) active for this upcoming game.

I've watched that d line since camp and David Onyemata is just as effective as Rankins is vs the run. Maybe not on the initial push off, but still effective.

Losing Rankins is tough blow but someone will pick up baton and run with it. 2 more games to win.

It sucks that Rankins is done for the year at this stage, he was our best D lineman not named Cam Jordan. However, we still have a good group and we just need another depth signing. For now, watch Taylor Stallworth wreck this guard.
