Defensive end Josh Mauro will visit the Giants, per source. He's set to arrive Sunday. Knows defensive coordinator James Bettcher from time with Cardinals. Fits the scheme. Good 5-technique DE with 26 career starts in four years. He had 22 tackles and a sack last season.

You can't compare Mauro and Wynn

as they play in different scheme's and situations. Their responsibilities are much different. Mauro was a run stuffer that almost always came out on passing downs.

I actually think they are similar. They are both better at stuffing the run vs rushing the passer - regardless of how they were used. My assumption is they like Wynn more.
I hate the move to the 3-4

Think it's a bad match for our personnel and a bad match for the pass happy NFL. Snacks and Tomlinson are a top 5 pair of 4-3 DTs and OV and JPP are better suited to a 4-3 as well. Even the Pats have basically given up on the 3-4.

It is not a bad match for our personnel. Snacks is a better 3-4 NT. Tomlinson played in the 3-4 in college. Goodson is probably a better fit at ILB in a 3-4 also. Kareem Martin played in Bettcher's scheme already. Ogletree played in a 3-4 with the Rams. The only player that appears to be an odd fit is JPP.
too much focus on position fit

we can try as much as we want to justify these guys in 1 position vs another but in the end all that matters is the number of snaps they receive and the situations they are used in. in today's NFL you would be hard pressed to identify exactly what type of front the defense is running on any given play anyway.

Snacks went from a very good NT to al All Pro in the 4-3. Tomlinson is going to be an excellent 3 tech DT. Ogletree had his best season at WILL. And we have 4-3 DEs as backups with Okwara and Moss.
Funny to see some people crow for the 3-4 then judge a 5-tech DE by

Number of sacks.

What does a 3-4 DE do on a pass play?
RE: base 3-4 DE isn't a pass rusher

It's a more complicated question than "3-4 DEs do ___".

A 5-tech 3-4 DE is the most traditional type of 3-4 DE. They set the edge against the run and engage blockers to free up linebackers to make plays, run or pass. They're not guys with big sack numbers. Considering how much more pass-happy the NFL is, you don't see them used the same way the 3-4 was played in 1986.

Should I? You seem to know a lot about Klan etiquette where as I don't have a clue.
