Quote:I hope he is a big step up fro Chris Smith and Ryan Davis.  And from "the way Fowler played last year".

 

On a side note, it seems like we have a minimal # for the NT position and like 6 Big Ends.  It's gonna be interesting with Campbell, Smoot, the undrafted guy supposed to be a gem, Demmick and Jonathan Woodard having been drafted with somewhat high hopes for his draft position. They all project to play that LDE and I'm sure there's a couple I'm missing.

 

They definitely have the numbers at strong side end as of now, but that will surely dwindle as cuts come along. 

 

The NT position seems to be emphasized less and I wonder how much Wash intends to field a "true nose tackle."

 

Right now they have Abry Jones, Louis Nix and Stefan Charles on the roster at that position, but I believe they intend to play plenty of nickel downs featuring Campbell and Malik as interior pass rushers.  So, keeping two of those from the three aforementioned may be their only plan for NT. (With a developmental guy on the PS in case of emergency.)
