this was arguably one of the worst positions on our defense last season. Linebacker is also a problematic area, wouldn't be surprised to see us draft a LB or too coming up.
DT's don't need to have a ton of sacks to be effective. Murphy is a disruptor and was the main cog in Texas's defense. The guy is good in every facet of the defensive line. Need him to be a space eater? He can do that, want him to rush the passer? He can do that too.
Also worth noting, Mac looks for versatility in his safeties above all else. He wants guys that can function as an extra linebacker, slot corner or a traditional free safety all at once.
Yeah, this move makes no sense if we end up drafting a first round QB. In fact, it kind of confused me from day one. I think you and I were in agreement there.
Not that Sam Howell is a bad QB, I think he’s FINE as a backup. It’s just the fact that his contract is almost up. He’s been in the...
I'm curious about something here. Mike MacDonald was playing coy about the status of Geno Smith as a starter earlier in the year. Now all of the sudden he is named undisputed starter. The trade for Howell is even more confusing, I'm wondering if they had something lined up that fell through...
Honestly, that seems to be John's MO. Based on the QB's that he has been interested in, he seems to be enamored with the idea of QB's that can play off script. Even Aaron Rodgers fit this mold (John Schneider was one of the highest ranking football executives in Greenbay when they drafted...
Howell's offense line pass blocking actually rated higher than Seattle's did (14th), in addition to that his receivers were actually decent in Washington.
Howell's issue is he held onto the ball longer than just about any QB in the NFL. His style is a lot like Wilson in that he's always...
Mind listing all of the 5th and 6th round picks that didn't make it? QB's like Kurt Warner, Brock Purdy and Tom Brady are edge cases at best. The chances go down substantially of finding even a starting caliber QB after the first round.
At the end of the day this move seems kind of perplexing...
Purdy and Howell are nothing alike, the only thing they share is build. The way they approach the game, how they throw the ball, their strengths and weaknesses, are all miles away from each other. They look nothing alike.
Purdy is a more cerebral QB that has a "good enough arm". He's mainly a...
I wouldn't say that. Irvin was good at setting the edge, his pass rushing skills are what was very hit or miss. I'd say that Irvin was more similar to Clowney than anything. Perhaps in his rookie year we could've said that about Irvin, but when he was switched to LB he became an all around...
