Most top notch rushers line over the RT now 

 

the differences are there but more nuances 

 

The most success over right tackles… Is usually speed to power… that’s why von is so good … His best Rush move … Is his speed rush to Power bullrush… speed to power 

 

Most success over left tackles is power to speed since they already move well … Bulrush to dip and rip

 

Obviously Von can do both but a lot of players struggle

 

 

Yeah and wrt to power to speed........I am probably a bit more optimistic about Epenesa than most because I am expecting that he will be a more powerful RDE this season after another offseason in the pass rusher body he was asked to transform into.    I am glad they've hedged their bets significantly but expecting better from him this season either way.

He definitely does have a bullrush and the ability for a power to speed rush … and his length

If you ignore the first year (which given what they asked of him wouldn't be unreasonable) AJE has been on a pretty decent improvement arc. Not to say he as yet has justified his draft slot.... but he is still someone whose best football could still be ahead of him I think.

Ideally, I would like to keep Epenesa and trade boogie Basham
 

But now that we have two legitimate pass rushers on board. We also need to think about the future and what the Situation is going to be for that I would actually like to see floud stay around for a while

Epenesa to me is someone I think Beane will regret trading low. He has some natural rush ability that could translate into 10+ sacks with more opportunity. Could be some teams Jerry Hughes if you get what I’m saying. Traded to a team that actually plays him.

If he wasn't out of position so much he'd play more.

This was really such a great signing. Well done Beane! 


I'm still hoping (as unlikely as it is) that we can add another Edge
Justin Houston may be realistic as he has signed deals for 2 and 3 million previously.

That would be such a dynamic group of 4. Every down you have multiple legit threats on the edge.

The next addition (if in order of roster priority) really ought to be a veteran outside receiver (perhaps after cuts).

Definitely true his lane discipline in the run game has kept him off the field at times. He was better at that in 2022 though. Wasn't just his pass rush that ticked up. I think he may be what he is... a rotational rusher not an every down player... but he may still have more to come.

That would be a great surprise....IF it's a starting caliber player who is an immediate WR2 over Davis 

 

I would be happy with outside depth as well - I'm not sure they have to be a clear cut starter in front of Gabe. I have no expectations of a WR like that joining the team.

You got 4 of them. That should clear that up for you. 

Well MISSter prospector - I guess your downvotes didn't work? Diggs is a no show like we told you. My sources telling me "he is done". This comes from an NHL agent/lawyer who knows Stef's agent very well.
