KOKBILLS Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Liked him coming out...Especially vs the run...He's not a bender, he's definitely not a natural pass rush-kind of DE, and he's not huge...But, in College at least, he was pretty tough at the point of attack and if he got his mitts on you it was over...And he's not a bad athlete at all...Just a little stiff... This is a good pick-up if he's healthy...The type of guy that could easily slide into the #3 DE role if all goes right...And that's definitely a need on this team right now...

YoloinOhio Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 I see that McD has a certain type of DE he likes with the Ryan Davis and Crichton pick ups. Both about 265. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) I see that McD has a certain type of DE he likes with the Ryan Davis and Crichton pick ups. Both about 265. Right around Shaq's size. I'm starting to think he's a really good fit in this role, even if he doesn't end up a prolific pass rusher. The real question is our fronts. If we run a package system like Seattle, where we kick our bigger DE inside and bring in a pass rusher to play end in passing situations, I could see this playing nicely.

The Jokeman Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 He hasn't lived up to his predraft billing yet sounds like could offer some depth behind Shaq. Feels like a Douzable type signing in that fits the defense we're running. I especially liked this write-up that suggests he'd be in a 4-2-5 defense seems McDermott favors a nickel based system. http://www.fanaticalyankee.com/nfl-draft-scouting-reports/scott-crichton-scouting-report-2014-nfl-draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manther Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 And Lorenzo Alexander. And Mike Gillislee And Ryan Groy And Richie Incognito And...well...it's probably easier to just say that you're wrong. Haha, well said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blokestradamus Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 The mistake hath been rectified. I cannot tell you how much I love Scott. Career hasn't panned out like I hoped but I think there's some untapped potential there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roundybout Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Maybe we will get the rotational thing from 2014 going on the line. Not a bad idea considering Kyle's age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 you know John Blake do you ? Good to hear my Friend. I have no idea about this fellow. But a current day attacking 4 man front need to remain fresh ! Love the work ethic you noted Mike Waufle is the new D line coach. Ex-Marine. Let's see what he can do with this kid. And I'm particularly interested in what he does with Dareus. I think Dareus either mans up or melts into a puddle of goo under this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemma Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Might be part of the rotation and if so, could see 25 - 30 snaps a game. Good pickup and hopefully helps us avoid using a draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Might be part of the rotation and if so, could see 25 - 30 snaps a game. Good pickup and hopefully helps us avoid using a draft pick. I think we will have a pretty solid rotation. Lawson and Crichton can play inside. I see them being a part of that rotation along with the ends. Alexander of course can play at end on pass rushing situation. So you've got Davis, Hughes, Lawson and Crichton at DE rotation. Dareus, Williams, Washington, Lawson and Crichton on DYT rotations. I think I saw Davis in the highlight films playing inside. Looks like we can have fresh bodies out there all the time.

PlayoffsPlease Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Whaley knows how to build a roster/depth. If we ever hit on a QB things can turn around quickly. He just isn't as good at it as the GMs whose teams make the playoffs frequently. He does do a better job than Russ Brandon circa 2009, but that is a pretty low bar to get over.

YoloinOhio Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 @salsports New Bills DE Scott Crichton carries $769K cap hit, but adjusting for top-51 salaries, contract will lower available cap space by aprx $230K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jerry Jones doesn't hit on Zeke and Dak in the draft, Whaley could have easily been named GM of the year last year by adding Lorax, ZBrown and BTate last year.
