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.
Yeah that's how I see the DL, the nickle DT/UT is a DE, this guy old just be fodder if someone like Jenkins got hurt.
