Blissett now a DE

[BS85]

Blissett has apparently moved to DE, he's 257 lbs. Not really sure I like this, I'd rather build good depth at DT which is harder to build and recruit. Plus the DE's are stacked af so it will be hard for him to contribute there. Maybe he'll be a situational DT on passing plays but I'd still rather just have him be a normal DT.

well a 257 lb dt would be tough
so maybe its better he plays there if he cant get his weight up

 

[brock]

Don’t really like that move, rather him be an athletic 3 technique. Easier path to playing time at dt than at end too

He hasn't had a carb since 2016

I agree, however, they had him lose weight to get down to that so it doesn't sound like it was an issue gaining weight. I should have pointed that out.

It was in the 247 VIP practice notes

This means Eli Roberts has no choice but to play DT once he shows up in May.

@Lance Roffers

How does Blissett's athletic profile look when you compare to defensive ends / edge players.

He was an elite athlete on the interior, but how does that stack up in your database with edge players?

This guy was also playing Rb for his HS team. Hes pretty athletic. Let's see what happens.

At 257, he's too light in the *** there for sure.

Which is actually a good thing for us. I'm a believer that Roberts will be elite for us at DT.

And what happens when he shows up looking like Calista Flockhart?

Exactly.

They never learn.

We're cursed.

Maybe he couldn’t put on good weight to be a DT.

I’d like to see how this plays out. Also we aren’t as deep at DE as people believe. Besides Greg and Roche it’s pretty avg. plus we have no veterans. We gotta stop hyping dudes that haven’t accomplished anything

 

[TC@ne]

Interested to know what his natural playing weight is. I could see him as a nice DE in a 3-4 scheme, but 257 is way too light for that even.

 

[jsy]

theoretically
after this year we can be down Roche, Greg, and Phillips
so it may not be a bad idea to get him ready as a strong side DE
