Can we please use groot like parsons and Garrett?

When von comes back I'd love to see groot used like he was in college.  Line him up over center next to Ed or Jones and bring von and Floyd off edge.  His length alone would take away passes and he has the skills to beat the center.  Not saying he's like micah or myles but he could be used same way.  He was a lot in Miami.

I had this exact thought today.  When Floyd and Miller are both healthy, I'd love to find a way to get all 3 of them on the field together

I’d rather put  packages in like a 4-3 and have Von at the other OLB spot where he blitzes, or maybe Floyd could take that spot and could either blitz or cover. He’s covered before and he’s not extremely terrible. And we all know he can rush the passer

I’d like to see that. I think Groot can do it. He can be a menace just like Micah Parsons. But Parsons is on another level, I think he’s the best defensive player in the NFL right now by far.

After watching what he did to the Jets, I can’t disagree

I agree. He is not a “bend the edge” DE. He’s exactly the guy you want to move inside. Maybe when Miller gets back.

We’ve done this before. I see no reason why we wouldn’t do it again.

I just want to see him get the chance to rush from the inside more.


I don’t disagree, but when Jones is your best DL by some margin and Ed is playing lights out you don’t want to take any of those guys off the field.
