Anything up with the surplus of DT's?

Seems like a move is in the making. What is your prediction?
What do you think Tomlinson is worth? He was drafted in Round 2.

Do you think they can get a 3? I don’t.
What surplus?

Tomlinson is the starting NT with Slayton and Johnson competing to be the #2. Williams and Lawrence are DEs with McIntosh and Hill their backups. Hardly a surplus of anything.
Why do people

Keep saying it’s a surplus? We have 8, you typically carry 6 through the season, that’s not a surplus. Also, what makes Dalvin expendable? Because we signed a career backup DT? 🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑 please
Surplus?

We currently have 8 DL on the unfinished roster. Of which 7 have a great chance of making the roster. We started with 5 on the opening day roster. That seems like a surplus. Not saying we have to make a move. We could just be creating great competition....but maybe?
If you can accumulate DTs you can repeat

Spagnola's strategy in defeating Tom Brady. Rotation through the 4th Q (or end of season) is key.

Hog Mollies? Keep Jones clean on the other side?
Would definitely make sense to me

if they were to move a DT for an edge somehow. But asset allocation doesn't seem to be DG's strong suit.
Maybe one can play tackle or guard or

center.
We are set on the DL for the start of training camp

While I wouldn't be shocked if we drafted a DL EARLY in this draft, I doubt we will.

I honestly believe a DL of Williams, Lawrence and Tomlinson will be super solid vs the run and will also generate enough push to help our LB's get free.
Williams

Lawrence and Tomlinson can be a force if they stay healthy. Lets hope they can improve their game and help free up our LBs so they can make some plays
30 fronts need 6 DLs..  
Q v2.0 : 3/28/2020 6:14 pm : link
40 fronts need eight.

And blitzing/tackling machines on the second level:

Fackrell - Martinez - Simmons

Carry on.
