Quote:I think we'll see 4 DTs on the roster, especially in light of Miller's injury history.  I would expect that 4th guy to be Abry Jones, that Caldwell has spoken highly of during the open fan town hall discussions. 

 

Not a bad prediction.  Mine is based upon what I would do and not necessarily what I think Caldwell would do.  I know that I only kept three defensive tackles and I considered keeping Arbry Jones.  My feeling is that Alualu and Bryant could play some defensive tackle if needed.  I'd also keep at least one and probably two defensive tackles on the practice squad as well.  It was just a numbers game.  I felt like if I kept Arbry Jones, I would have to cut another defensive lineman which would likely be Ryan Davis.  However, I liked Davis's potential.  He had a sack and an interception in limited playing time.  I like him as a developmental player that could turn into more with experience.  I just hated to cut him.  I chose Davis over Jones, but I could see one arguing defensive tackle as a bigger need.  I guess another option would be to go with one less linebacker and keep both Davis and Jones.
