It's so much nicer, to me atleast, to be able to sign guys to play the DL in a different system than previous.
I don't know why. |

The Saints run defense was ranked No.1 last year. Okafor was a part of that, so there’s more to it than sack numbers.

OUCH!
Okafor is a pretty tough dude. Never quits. Was a work out warrior in college and that had carried over to the pros. Very good work ethic. He'll help the Chiefs. Dont really know what to think about the cost until we see how its structured. But this guy can play. Last edited by TEX; 03-14-2019 at 03:35 PM.. |

$6M a year isn’t bad. We need players. He could start, so that’s good value more than likely.
Now where is Darby. |

Good vid for people to look at on the Leo spot on some of their under looks.
Remember Reid interviewed their DC Dennis Allen before hiring Spags. So just in that way you get an idea what they look for in the weak side DE. And he fits the mold of the strong pursuit, high motor relentless type players Veach has brought up since the Speaks pick. It’s not flashy and lightning first step but it’s a solid rotational piece. And they do need a veteran as they tear down the old D and build it back up. |

4 sacks in 16 games is no great shakes, but sacks aren't everything... this run D is in desperate need of improvement |

Great. We got Tyson Jackson without spending the THIRD OVERALL pick on him.

I don't know much about him, but he sounds young enough and solid enough (but not flashy). Pair him with a draft pick and let them fight it out.

Seems to use his hands really well. Looks like a taller, step-slower version of Justin Houston.
