Morneblade Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Hope he is not stuck out of position at NT again this year, or it's gonna be a long season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Thought Hood was one of our positives last year? Was he out of position and abused a lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got stuck at NT, when he is a natural 3-4 DE. I think he gave good effort, but he wasn't put in a position to be effective. I like Ziggy, and I really like how he uses his hands, but he was outmatched at NT last year. I think he COULD be a upgrade if he plays DE. I think he's better than a JAG there, but he was definitely a JAG at NT. But, like I said, I like him as a player, not everyone agrees with that.

Sounds like McClain will be the NT. So right now it appears the starters would be Hood/McClain/McGee with Ionnadis/Taylor/Lanier as backups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to absolutely zero DL generated pass rush, that group could give up more YPC against the run than last year'a historically inept unit. There must be more in the works. Hopefully an unsuspected, significant FA addition, and maybe a stout against the run DT on day 2 of the draft (Tomlinson, J. Johnson)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is, our only hope is that Taylor comes back healthy and plays like he did his rookie year with the Browns. McClain at NT might be worse than Hood.

William Barbour Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Lanier will be a starter. I would bet on it. Dude is going to be a stud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE Ricky Jean Francois. They could create another $3 million in cap space by releasing Jean Francois. With two newcomers along the line and a desire to develop some of their younger linemen, Jean Francois becomes expendable – and a costly backup with a $4 million cap hit."

I saw on spotrac that he only had a cap hit of a million http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/washington-redskins/cap/ Confused me, Keim didn't run with that unless true.

He looked like a steal during preseason and even to start the year until he was forced inside. The problem is, he might still be forced to play a lot inside as it stands now as we don't have a clear cut stud at DT/NT. I was really hoping we'd go all out on the Dline so we can approach the draft with an extreme BPA approach... but that's not looking good right now. I am really, really high on Lanier though. That's my guy. Might have a stud there if he takes a step this offseason, but he's another outside guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Health and motivation will be the big issues with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
