Lightfoot 1st start

[scrantoncane]

I don’t know if yall watched the game over again but lightfoot on his pass rushes against their tackles he was dominating like close to a couple of sacks and had a big stop on 3rd down too. He’s gonna be a beast next year

Him and Blount both played well. We are loaded on the DL next season. Idk what people are taking about when they say we need portal help there.

Unless the rumors of Blount wanting to play DT next season are true..I predict that Taylor doesn’t go to the portal for a DE.

Lightfoot
Blount
Lowe
Scroggins
Pickett
Bryant

That’s 6 with the top 4 all either having great experience or great potential (Lowe). Why do we need to waste NIL on a DE? We have other pressing needs imo.

DISCLAIMER: If Blount moves to DT in the offseason..then forget this whole post.

This is my opinion, too. I just don't see why you put Blount inside on first and second down when Moten, Scott and Simpson are returning. I want to see what he can do setting the edge on his way to the ball carrier. If there's any quality at IDL in the portal, I'd plus one there not DE, and only move Blount inside if an injury happens to the starters.

If you can add more talent to the dline you don’t ever turn it away… thankful for the depth because we lost Messidor for a game or two and we didn’t skip much of a best because we had DEPTH

I ageee, but I’m assuming there is depth behind them based on what we’ve seen so far.

Meaning, Blount and lightfoot ARE our depth this season, so I’m assuming next season’s depth will continue to be developed by JT and Damione. We don’t need to be looking to the portal for this position group, we need to keep recruiting and developing it.

I know we’re losing both ends so maybe that changes things, but Blount has primarily played inside for us this year. I don’t know that I’d expect him to shift back outside now, especially given that it seems like all the talk for two years now has been about him playing DT.

 

[Bird4um]

He looks 225 to me right now.
He should add 10 lbs minimum and a ton of functional strength in the offseason. If he keeps working his craft he's gonna be special.

Steroids. **** of a drug.

The only end we would take out the portal are impact players. No point in taking depth guys I like who we have. This applies to all positions, we’re only getting starters out of the portal from now on

Our trenches are on par with the big boys.

Where this team lacks is at the skill positions. Allocate the available funds to dynamic outside WRs and a QB1, and some linebackers. Continue to recruit and develop the trenches.

 

[Sabetta]

Before the fall camp he said he was 227, said the staff wanted him to get to 230 and he was only able to get to 227.

He should be able to get to upper 230's which is fine. His position coach was tall and lean.
His biggest

Get Perryman's dealer on the phone ASAP

If Lightfoot works on his bend and hand usage he's going to be a top 64 pick next year. His explosiveness and speed off the edge are next level. He works on those things and he'll be finishing those plays off with sacks.

 

[Cribby]

Lightfoot is nowhere near ready to be an every down edge . He’s a situational guy. Same next year unless he gets on the juice . We need 255-270 pound dawgs to set the edge and rush the passer. There’s a reason we are good against the run and pass rushing.

We need depth. We've been very lucky this season with injuries at the DT spot. We've basically made due with 3 true DTs and spot players with Blount and Simpson.

He doesn't need to be an every down player with his skillset. Lightfoot should aspire to be like Leonard Floyd. 240lbs monster that can rush the passer and play in space being flat/hook/curl defender. Looking at him as a true DE is a mistake in my opinion.

 

[AUcane]

We absolutely need an elite DE in the portal.

@Cribby Do you think Lowe, Blount, Scroggins and McConathy plus the incoming freshmen will be enough? Or do we need to go get another 4i from the portal?

 

[Cane30]

A portal DE and DT.

Not a good idea. We already have to give raises to Moten and Scott on the DL. Now you want to pay “Damon Wilson” level money for an elite DE? When we have way more pressing needs including having to drop 4-5M on a portal QB? Not wise imo.

Imo it would be foolish to not add a proven older guy. Lowe is that dude but id be ok with another edge guy , maybe two. We’ve walked a razors edge this year with depth and lived to tell about it.

Theres enough money to go around. Wat do u think they are paying guys like Bain, Mesidor, Blay, and Keionte Scott?

Theres only 3 SDEs on the roster, and 1 of them, Blount, could move inside. Everybody else are WDEs, Scroggins, Lightfoot, Pickett, Bryant, and the freshmans. Considering injuries r a thing, they should def invest in another SDE 255-270.

We have a lot of unproven/young depth at DE. Absolutely need a vet there. Lightfoot is not a full time kid yet. Lowe will be playing his first games next year. Mcconathy has been hurt for 1.5 years. Etc etc

It would be irresponsible to go into next year with that kind of depth
