Update: Dorian Strong to IR

[VW82]

I think we have to consider trading for someone now. Losing Hairston so early on - who knows how far behind he really is - and now Strong who looked like he could've been CB2 full time if needed...Ingram and Lewis are better nickle/dime guys.

His play doesn’t warrant any thing close to pro bowl consideration . That’s exactly my point. As the 54th overall pick in his draft class the hope was that he’d be more of a force on the edge - a defender that opposing offenses would need to account for.  But he’s not that guy.  He’s serviceable. Adequate. Not a liability. Makes some plays. Hooray! 
 

Again, that's a problem with your expectations. We've gotten 6 years of solid production, where we can expect 6 sacks a year out of a late 2nd round EDGE. I think that's a pretty solid return. If you wanted 10+ sacks a year, most of the time you have to target those guys in the top 15 picks. 5 DEs were taken ahead of him in the 2020 draft, and he's outperformed 4 of them.

I hope this is why he hasn't been starting over white. Because he's been far better when he has been out there. Hopefully he gets healthy asap because tre white is cooked. 

I repeat, tre white is cooked.

 

He runs like he's wearing high heels 👠 

 

Once you notice it, you can't unsee it.

Yeah, the plan was always for him to be at most a bridge to Hairston - if not a backup to Hairston straight out of Camp.

 

The injury to Hairston forced us to rely on him, which is *nowhere* you want to be. They'd have been playing more of Dorian Strong tonight with how poorly White was playing. But now we don't even have him either.

 

That's the toughest part about this. White is toast. But our only other options right now are to play Ja'Marcus Ingram or Dane Jackson. Which probably wouldn't be much worse, but wouldn't be any better either.

 

Tonight was exactly why I was saying the idea from another poster that we IR'ed him to make room for players coming and that it was "nothing to see" was ridiculous. We really could have used him tonight and I can't believe they'd purposely put us in a situation where we would have no choice but to stick with White.
