What is Cross's number again?

I liked what I saw from McKinnley Jackson, he had 2 TFL's and had at least one pressure constantly pushing his guy back. Don't know
why he was playing with the 3's and 4's. He should be playing with the 2's IMO.

He did have the penalty roughing the LS though that lead to the last TD though, so up and down. I didn't see the penalty either so it 
could of been a bad call.

95. And as I said elsewhere, I wouldn't read too much into McKinley not playing with the twos. The coaches watched him all last season, so they pretty much know what he brings. They may have just wanted to get an extended look at Cross and some of the other DTs

It was his first time playing against men. I can see him making the PS at a minimum, but not sure about the 53.

WTS, he looked every bit as good as that former 1st Rounder we signed. I was much more disheartened by his performance.

Hopefully this is not a knock on Kris Jenkins or McKinnley Jackson. Hopefully all of them are playing really well.

I heard Jackson was playing with the 3rd teamers last night.
If so, that's not good, especially with Hill not even playing last night.

Maybe McKinnley did something wrong off the field or something. He played really good last night and was our best DL IMO.

2 TFL's and good push up the middle. He can play Nose Tackle and rush the passer. Hopefully his play last night gets him some playing 
time with the 2's where he should be. McKinnley had the terrible penalty, maybe he has been a bit of a head case or something, but this
time of year we read into everything too much.

Again, I think maybe the coaches just wanted to watch some of the new DT's like Cross to see what they can do. I really doubt McKinley has moved down the depth chart.

I was impressed with Cross' play. he has a great first step and real quicks which was on display when he blew up the play the Stewart finished.
I honestly could see him taking Cam Sample's DE/DT spot as Cam didn't look like he recovered the speed and quickness he showed in Last years camp before the achilles.

3 TFLs actually! Your point remains the same though dude is explosive!

According to Bfine Cam Sample was our best End against the Eagles, I doubt his spot is in any jeopardy.

Nice, I was just counting what I saw the first time around in the condensed version on Gamepass. Thanks brother.
