he doesn't really play that much, I haven't noticed him at all the entire season. Always just assumed Danna is the starter and then next year FAE gets the start. If he's had a significant amount of snaps, then it's not a good sign. [Reply]

Would definitely like to see his snaps ramped up, tough balancing act but I think Danna is gone next year so we could do with seeing what we've got with FAU. If the offense turns a corner it's going to make it a lot easier to get him out there early. [Reply]

The rumor was that they were going for Addison [Reply]

Even if he doesn't contribute this year, the value of having a cheap edge rusher is just too good.
I'd always be looking for a T/WR/DE in the first round. If there's no guy I really like at another spot, I'd take the best one of those on the board if all else fails. You can never have enough and if they develop, it's such a cost saving thing. [Reply]

Ideally, yeah, you've love to see him making contributions.
He's still young and is buried behind some good players. The benefit will pay off in the next couple years when they don't have to go pay DE's. [Reply]
He just needs some live reps and continued strength training, imo. He was small when the Cats recruited him. Took a couple of years of strength training/training table to get him up to 250#.
He’s got all the physical tools. I’ll bet we see a little more of him in the final 1/3 of the season. [Reply]

I don't think they take 2 WR with their first 2 picks. If they had traded up for flowers, they probably look at O-line or still Edge in the 2nd. [Reply]
