Dragonborn10 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Who would take Knighton instead of Hughes? I know they are different positions but Knighton would be a very good almost great NT. Dareus could move to DE in the base 3-4. In the four down lineman package Dareus shifts to DT and Lawson comes in to play DE with Bradham outside his shoulder. Just thinking of options if they can not get a deal done with Hughes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Possibility. Seems like Rex always likes to have a dedicated run stuffer ie Jenkins, devito, that williams kid they have now (I think that's his name anyway) going all the way too tony Siragusa. I really don't want lawson playing DE. I hear the name lawson and it goes hand with Bryce brown atm. I think of Bryce brown I think about the Chiefs game. Losing the Chiefs game. one more win and we'd have made the playoffs. One fumble. 2 Jamal Charles runs right passed lawson. Sigh. Back to the subject. I think knighton is s possibility, although I think it's easier to find someone big to plug in the middle than to find a quick twitch pass rushing nightmare like hughes. Really hope we resign him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 In a bizarro world I imagine Mario-Suh-Dareus-Hughes Don't even play offense. Just punt on 1st down. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking of options if they can not get a deal done with Hughes... I like Knighton. That said, if Hughes walks in FA, this team needs to add 2 pass rushers, not one. I've felt for a while now that they need a 3rd edge rusher to spell Hughes/Mario; especially when they play teams like NE that (a) throw a lot, and (b) ratchet up the pace of their offense specifically to tire out pass rushers. Now, if they're content to let Hughes walk, they better go out and get a guy like Pernell McPhee and another situational rusher like Dwight Freeney at this stage of his career.

McPhee would be such an amazing addition to this DL. If we lose Hughes, I really hope he can add him. Different size and skill set than Hughes, but I love his motor and production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 In an interview I saw with Rex today I really got the impression it was like "Whaley" Rex your being given a top 3 defense......dont ask for a DAMN THING on that side of the ball "Rex" I love my guys.....so much talent and DEPTH I think they might look for a INEXPENSIVE run stuffer on D......but I dont expect them (except for Hughes) to spend big money on the D side of the ball at all I think we are going to spend on OL, TE, RB, and a vet QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark80 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) The guy is 335lbs. I remember seeing a story on him this year saying how he can dunk with ease. That's impressive. He's a great player and would be an awesome addition. Mario, Kyle, Knighton, Dareus would be an absolutely brutal front 3 + 1 or 4 to deal with. Unblockable.

Dragonborn10 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 I agree with the pass rusher need. I think they will draft a DE for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Excellent player but he'll be too expensive, given the seller's market for quality DT's. My bet is Oakland or Chicago sign him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
