Honestly, I’d rather keep him along the interior where he is elite. But Stout mentioned that the base DL is Jones and Clark on the edges with Reed and Nnadi along the interior.
That’s a big risk the team is taking, and the early returns in spot duty last year were not encouraging.
But Stout mentions that Jones has slimmed down a ton as well, clearly prepared to take a stronger role at RDE.
Maybe the most important thing to watch for our defense.
He also mentions Humphrey is your starting center. [Reply]
Only a fucking moron thinks that Jones will be playing outside on passing downs. This is simply a way to get your best 4 (Clark, Nnadi, Reed, Jones) on early downs. That’s all.
In no way is it a “big risk” either, considering it’s not permanent/irreversible. [Reply]

Your thread is at the top of the page, and somehow that means I’m “tracking” you?
All I’m doing is pointing out a pattern of you starting threads that are almost always questioning either the staff or FO, which is the best in the business.
If you don’t want to be called out for being an idiot, try learning something for once. [Reply]

The logic Stout trotted out is that Reed is actually a good pass rusher and a stout run defender, whereas Jones gives you a ton more pressure-ability on the edge than anybody else on the roster.
Which, I don’t know, sure.
I don’t know what talent Jones has that translates to the edge. But maybe the weight loss unlocks dormant abilities I didn’t know about it. [Reply]

I think I’m comfortable with the balance I’ve struck. [Reply]
This is really no big surprise, pretty much assumed it would happen when we signed Reed. Nnadi is the best run defender on the roster and this is really about putting your best guys on the field as much as possible. Our best 3 lineman happen to all be DTs so you adjust accordingly.
He’ll play outside on 1st and 2nd down and move inside with Reed on passing downs. It makes sense. [Reply]
