Quote:So what are we thinking ziggy and miller battle it out in training camp for the starting role?
Yea he will be a DT here in Jax and will have a chance at the 5 Tech DE, he is a S.Marks type guy

Quote:Does anyone else thing that the Ziggy signing means that Alualu is in serious trouble? I didn't see any scenario in which they'd cut him, but with all the new players added at positions he's suited for, I wonder if he's going to be around on "cut to 53" day.He could be, but like most have stated, he fits in best as a 3T behind Marks. They talked about Marks getting way overworked last year and needing someone to spell him, and from all indications all those backup snaps should go to Hood. I'm sure he'll get snaps at other spots around the DL too, but I think his best fit is 3T (from everything i've gathered).

Quote:Live presser coming up at one pm with Hood. (Link on Jaguars.com homepage)Wish they'd wait and do one with Hood and Clemons, as well as hopefully Sanders.

It just feels like the addition of Bryant relegated Alualu to an all-purpose backup job, and Hood is a stronger, more athletic player who can do everything Alualu can, only better.
Quote:At the moment Alualu is fine. If the Jags draft Mack I think he would be listed as an LB and then he would play the LEO on 3rd downs. I could also see the Jags drafting a guy later on like McCuellers or Beau Allen to backup Miller.
LEO - Clemons, Branch, Davis
DT - Marks, Ziggy
NT - Miller, draft pick
LDE - Bryant, Alualu, Arby
Quote:I never understood why Pittsburgh drafted him for that Defense. When he came out of college, he seemed to me to be a better version of Derek Landri. I'm excited about having him on the roster and seeing what he can do!
Oh wait, am I allowed to be excited or does that mean I'm dumb?
Quote:So, if they got Clowney, he plays the LDE, correct?
Quote:So, if they got Clowney, he plays the LDE, correct?Huh no, he plays Leo or Lighting package DT.

Quote:You are beyond dumb for like this according to some. Homer.
Quote:Good question, he could probably play either end spot. I'd imagine he'd start at the LEO and then they'd move him to the LDE on 3rd and passing situations.In passing situations, there is no LDE (in the base defense 2-Gaps run stuffer sense)
