Patrick Joyner

[DMoney]

Starting off at DE.

 

[randolph herndon]

He is talented and probably will grow to DE as he is big now for a LB. He was 235 pounds about a month ago.

Interesting.
I hope this wasn’t out of left field for the kid and he is ok with the move. He is a natural pass rusher, obviously needs to fill out a ton more but not a bad move.

 

[ajone228]

Think that’s a good fit for him. I like the edge rush ability...didn’t he lead the county in sacks last year?

 

[Hurracanes]

Getting LB’s and turning them into DE’s. More speed at the end. Plus, added depth. I like it.

 

[Scorpion]

Obvious move. We likely would have had 3 scholarship DE on the roster to begin spring practice in 2019 (excluding EE's). We badly needed another DE for depth purposes, at least.

 

[brock]

Its mostly what he played in highschool and we need depth. Should be a good 6th de for this year for sure.He had the size to be what trent Harris was for us if not better.

He probably wouldn’t have played much since there is a log jam at linebacker this year now making this move he will for sure be in the rotation if he shows he can play at this level.

Good move

Yup, would have loved a grad transfer at DE...And would love one even more for next year if we can't land a juco stud.

 

[TheRichtShow]

He wasn't going to see the field at LB this year and we need a 6th DE, so this is a no brainer move.

Obviously its a more natural position for him in the short-term too, as he primarily played off the edge with his hand in the ground in HS

 

[rccollins]

the other thing is us playing with that striker position means for the most part we are only going to play with two true linebackers anyway..i am excited about this baller

 

[Mico Jones]

Dont like it unless we plan to run more Odd front.

 

[JOE'CANE]

Called it months ago when posters were complaining about lack of DE depth. He mostly played a DE type role in HS.

 

[caneofny]

Dont like it unless we plan to run more Odd front.

Explain please?

 

[gogeta4]

Hes at DE and Chatfield at LB....interesting.

 

[nycane]

i love it. now we at least have 4 guys coming back at DE in spring if JJ bolts like we expect.

 

[AllAboutTheU]

Hes at DE and Chatfield at LB....interesting.

They run a 3-4 he's playing rush LB. Same thing

Classic Cane to move speed forward. I like it.
