Slaton is a run stopper deluxe. He also collapses the pocket. With Trey coming hard off the edge and Slaton collapsing the pocket the other guys should get some action.
Murphy has played a lot better when he has came in off the bench in Trey's spot at RDE. He gained too much weight last year, but he also just
didn't look right at LDE. Stewart can play either spot but to me looked better on the left where Murphy really struggled. Yeah, Slaton is a big NT
that can take up blockers but I don't know if he can collapse the pocket like a good 3-tech can. I know BJ Hill can at times and believe both Kris
Jenkins and McKinnley Jackson will. Slaton is a good run stopping NT, our only player really like him.
I don't expect to see Slaton in on passing downs much. That will be Kris Jenkins or BJ Hill or even McKinnley who shown he could get pressures
as a rookie. On 3rd and longs I wouldn't be surprised if the DL looked like this - Trey - Murphy - Ossai - Stewart
