The unit looks promising for sure. However, even as good as they played last year, we gave up a good amount of passing yards and points. The turnover differential was the difference. To make the secondary most successful - the pass rush has to improve.

Hughes Lawson Murphy Yarbrough Fede Odhigazuwa Love Lewis Boesen And now they're bringing in Russell? How many DEs can you realistically put on the roster? At this point, one would have to be downright blind not to consider the possibility that either Hughes or Lawson (smart money is on Lawson) will be cut or traded in the near future. Can't see Lawson being cut given his age and inexpensive salary. Traded maybe.
HOUSE Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Because I live in Florida forced to watch Tampa Bucks highlights let me tell you this... He ain't in them 7
H2o Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Meh, wouldn't call him much of a pass rusher. He only had 2 sacks in like 450 snaps last year.
elroy16 Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 The pass rush was very meh last year. I see no reason not to bring in as many guys as possible and hope a couple rise to the occasion. I think Hughes is safe unless they trade him, but I don't expect they'd get much of return for a 30 year old pass rusher making $10 million a year. I think Murphy and Hughes are the only locks. Lawson is probably the next closest, but if other guys step up, I wouldn't be surprised if he was traded or cut. I know his salary is really low, but they need more of an impact from their ends. Maybe Star will help make that happen.

Do you guys have any suggestions for nicknames for Ryan Russell? How about: Railroad Crossing! Lay Down the Tracks Hustle Russell Isn’t Ryan a girls name? 1

This is the McDermott archetype for depth players. Also I have to wonder if Shaq Lawson's position is in jeopardy. This is what I'm thinking. I think it is more of they may have something in place to deal Shaq for a WR or OL help but they want to make sure they have what they need in the event they deal him. Given this guy's production and given Shaq's upside, I'd rather keep Shaq. But the offense needs help in a major way at WR and in the trenches so if Shaq can be dealt and we get help at WR or in the trenches then see ya Shaq, best on your career. 26 minutes ago, elroy16 said: The pass rush was very meh last year.

Aussie Joe Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 I cant see Shaq being cut or traded based on who else they have on the squad at the moment... He is clearly the third End that will be used in rotation with Hughes and Murph, and I would even like to see him play inside on 3rd down passing situations.. He obviously hasn't played up to the expectations of a First rounder, but can we honestly say that he was bad last year? I think you keep him another season and see if he gets better... He will have to improve to see 2019 though otherwise his replacement will be drafted next season...

Yarbrough filled in well last year and they already said they plan to throw Alexander back in there getting snaps at DE as well. Shaq very well could be 4th or 5th man in the rotation if he doesn't impress in camp.

Worth kicking the tyres and maybe he works better here. There is room on the roster for backup edge rushers so does no harm to see what he is like Good measurables, but came out of college pretty raw and lacking intensity. He's had 3 years to learn a few things. We'll see if the fire in his belly is burning any hotter.
wppete Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 This Defense needs effective pass rush to be at it best.
