If we add a DE pass rusher at 9 , and with Billings and Hardsion coming back we could hopefully have a dominant d-line again with a deep rotation.
Hardison could gain some weight and be our backup to Atkins as the 3 Tech. DeShawn Williams has played
well in this role in his limited snaps as well. They were calling DeShawn, Geno 2.0 at one point.
If we grab another DT in this draft which seems likely i bet we lean to a bigger, run stopper.
Thanks for giving me the headsup about the article, probably another fluff from Hobspin but i do like Hardison.
We could be even better than we once were, more talented for sure.

They were both great moves, the team has had a habit of holding on to declining or below average players for too long. I think both Minter and Billings should and will be massive upgrades over their counterparts.
These were moves i would of made. Hope it works out like i truly believe they will.
So true about the team holding onto declining players a year or two too long. Gotta see these things coming.
Belichick and his guys do all the time.

PA is so disappointing as a coach lol. I'm just hoping we can draft a guy that doesn't need his tuteledge lol.
Not a coincidence that players like Whitworth and Zeitler do well who were more polished under PA.
If we get one of the earlier Center prospects there is a less likely chance of another Bodine who never had a
high ceiling anyway. Lots of quality Centers in the 2nd to 4th rounds this year.
