Honest question. This guy looks intriguing. But If he is so great, why was he available?

Injuries.

Injuries.

Jefferson had injuries? Were they trying to sneak him onto the PS?

Edit: got it. I just read up on him. Thanks Jack!

I would guess so. He only played three games last year before blowing out his knee.

Sometimes players that have injuries on the defensive line, you can still get a lot of use out of them rotationally.

It is just a numbers game.
Less snaps mean less injuries.

The DL currently is in excellent health. Even our two PS DL'ers are fully healthy too. So one would think that taking a chance on a serious in your face play maker who can penetrate inside takes up some of the talent level depletion by the MIA Aaron Donald. LTP is not as fast or as quick @ DT.

This is our DL front five:

OLB- Quinn/ Longacre/ Price
DE- Walker/ Jefferson/ LTP(PS)
NT- Brockers/ Smart/ Bryant(PS)
DE- Westbrooks/ Fox
OLB- Barwin/ Ebukam /McKinzy(PS)

Hey train I have no ideal what Wade will do but I would imagine that 5 DL'ers will dress.

They probably dress 5 but they could dress 4 if they have a player that can play DE and OLB.

 

[DaveFan'51]

I want to see Jefferson move like this ...

... anything less is "Unacceptable"!

I am of the thought that we have a boatload of those.........Longacre, Barwin, Quinn, Price & Ebukam. If there were a top four I would say Brockers, Walker, Westbrooks & Smart. Then let all those OSLB'er get plunged in where ever.....
