See no reason why we don’t just list McKinnley as backup NT unless we’ve totally given up on that and view him as another 3T

Or if we view Jenkins as the direct NT backup and he’s not moving as far along as we thought he would?

Have a hard time believing we’d keep BJ, TJ, Jenkins, Jackson and this guy along with the DEs we have that can kick inside which include Sample, Stewart and Ossai.



You know what actually as i typed that we don’t have a backup NT at all and we signed that college guy


We may be looking for a backup NT that can’t be taken from the PS

What do you mean?
How is 330 lb McKinnley Jackson not the backup NT?
I thought Jackson was the backup NT behind Slaton, and Jenkins the backup UT behind Hill?

Montravius Adams, to me, is more the replacement for Jay Tufele as DT5, if he even signs and makes the team at the end of preseason.
Let these rooks like Cross and Gregory compete with Adams for that last DL spot.

With that said, I don't see how they don't go 6 DE, 4 DT this year, especially with lack of proven IDL pass rush.
They got Hendrickson, Ossai, Murphy, Stewart as locks, plus Johnson, Sample, Thomas competing for the last 1-2 last DE spots.
I'd love to see Sample finally get put into a true Rucker/Fanene type role as primary nickel DT.
