I like the combo of Slayton and Stewart on passing downs to replace Reader a lot better.
Glad to hear Slaton is impressing someone in Kris Jenkins. Rankins was a 3-tech, just wasn't a fit and then he got deathly ill so cannot
really blame the guy. Expecting a couple rookie DT's to replace Reader was also a mistake by the FO even if they tried, they obviously
should of picked up a NT rather than a 3-tech. Expect Slaton and Stewart to be in on running downs, but Stewart actually can play DT
on passing downs too and could add another wrinkle. No to Slaton on passing downs, not his strength.
