I wonder who the "really good pass rusher on the other side" is? :hmmm:

I do like that he's already thinking about the damage he can do not having to face double teams.

Well, cut him. He's clearly not very football smart if he thinks we have a good pass rusher on the other side.

His anticipation is so elite that he knew we were going to UFA Melvin and eventually bring him back.

All you have to do is remember how frustrating watching Dee Ford play was most of the time.

I love Karlaftis as a piece. Like you said - your whole line can't be speed guys. And finding someone who can rush the passer with strength/technique is actually DAMN hard to do.

It's what Veach thought we were getting with Clark. And it's hugely important. I just wish we'd have complemented him elsewhere and I don't really see anyone left in FA that does that.

There are lesser versions of the same style of player available, but I don't see anyone that is likely to give a much different look than Karlaftis will.

I guess I'll just have to be patient and hope someone surfaces next season. I mean even someone like Herring, should he blow up somehow, isn't a twitchy player. Nor is Kaindoh. There just isn't anyone on this roster or likely to be added to this roster who brings that style of play.

Eh. I never had a problem with his pass rush. It was always his run defense and ya know....him being brain dead.

Maybe someone will get cut. Or Veach can find a Charvarious Ward on the defensive line. I’m still not sure they’re done.

He specifically mentioned the defensive line and then went out and brought in 5-6 DBs. There were probably a couple of passrushers that got taken before he could get them so I’ll wait and see what he does before Week 1.

Well, don't post about trying to trade for that guy you'll get yelled at by.........



wait.

On a serious note, if you want a real twitchy guy at the other DE, you're probably gonna have to expound some resources for him.

Or you get lucky and Frank Clark goes back to the guy he was in Seattle.

Yeah, but I think since he relied so much on speed his long wide angles to the QB took him out of a lot of plays and made the tackles' job easier. I think the Franchise was just pointing this out as a weakness many speed rushers have.

I’d be interested to see what Cullen thinks of Chaisson in Jacksonville. He was a first round pick that hasn’t done a ton in the league. Reports during the draft was that he was raw.

Chaisson isn't good though.

Kaindoh isn't twitchy, and I'm not sure there's loads he does well so obviously there's a good chance he doesn't make it. But his length and bend do offer something different. What we don't have is a speed rusher. But half the time someone like Bonitto was mentioned everyone complained about his ability against the run.

Jerry Hughes could probably be had for a few million a year.
