Nikita Whitlock used to cause havoc for WF a few years ago, and He was only 5'11.

I love it when some don’t like a prospect due to size, and people bring up the rare exceptions of stud players who are that size like that’s the norm and not the exception. Always a productive and logical conversation when that takes place.

From this point forward, every time anyone states that they don’t like a player, I will just bring up an NFL player that had the same height and weight and say, “I bet you wouldn’t have liked him either!”

We swapping duds for duds. Hopefully at least duds that want to be here.

This was my comp for Calijah Kancey out of HS.

Gore is an interesting offer. We are otherwise committed to getting bigger across the board. My guess is they have a specific interior rush role in mind.

Obvious passing downs kind of player?

DT? Small 6ft 280lbs not sure about this one

Yeah very weird. Maybe he’s quick as heck and can help on third downs idk a thing about this kid. The kid leaving A&M is really a must get.

I always hold wrestlers in very high regard. Wrestlers tend to have higher RPM motors than the typical player.

Great info, Medley. Thanks.

Having one or two of these types of guys on the roster is fine. They play a role. NFL teams have them, too.

This article is a little old and obviously focusing on Aaron Donald...and it has nothing to do with Thomas Gore per se...but the idea of shorter pass rushers...

Link to this Bleacher Report article on the effectiveness of short pass rushers.

Is Zach Thomas in the NFL Hall of Fame, cos Sam Mills is.

Or, y'know, they're desperate for veteran depth 'cos they didn't expect Jackson to bolt.

I liked what he said about his high school in Tennessee where every kid has to participate in sports for entire year...very old school...reminds me of my era.

 

[Gables Cane]

I still dont like the offer given our needs.

Maybe he’s the Moultrie replacement. It was going to be Haye but he left, so Gore might fill that backup, situational role.

What we truly need is the Jackson replacement. Give me two of those, please!

That's what I was thinking, too. He seems like a chess piece not an every down player. FWIW, I wanted both Kancey and Senat in the class when they came out, and I don't really like undersized DTs in general. I have no clue about this kid. But while many on this board will disagree, I consider our defensive staff to be one of the best in the business, and trust Steele and Salave'a (not to mention Strong) to know what they need there.

Our main rotation will most likely be LT, JHH, Lichtenstein and another portaller, with Moten hopefully emerging as an option. But we have nothing behind them. We need 1 more stud transfer to replace Jackson. But we also need depth and flexibility.

 

[Canes Legacy]

Jackson and Miller leaving (not sure how expected either was) took away a front line starter and a key depth piece. Not every possible addition can be an All-American but being able to rotate a pass rushing DT in certain situations can be an important piece of the puzzle.

He was being used differently than what we currently run. He was essentially a slant/angle NT.
