Demarcus Dobbs

Not everybody is going to be full-time starter quality, but upgrading the depth has to be a priority. In the event of injuries, we need everyone in the 2-deep to be at least a credible spot starter. Dobbs, Tukuafu, and Williams are not up to par with the DL depth on other contending teams.

I like to use the Steelers as an analog for us, as they've had lasting success with a general philosophy that seems similar to ours.

Look at their DL depth and where they were drafted: Cameron Heyward (Rd. 1), Al Woods (Rd. 4), Alameda Ta'amu (Rd. 4), Steve McLendon (UDFA), and Hebron Fangupo (UDFA).

Obviously, where someone is drafted isn't necessarily an indication of how good they are. It is, however, an indication of the priority a team has placed on a position. My only point is that we need to make DL depth a bigger priority. Expecting to have quality depth when we only have one rotational DL that we thought enough of to use a draft pick on is unreasonable.

I like the NE method of bringing in affordable FAs and drafting for back ups.

That hasn't worked well for their defense.

Truth … our DL has no time to rest, and can not be at their best at the end of the game .. had good dependabe backup is a good idea if they can be found and for the 9ers I think it must be at the top with seeking a CB

Just got waived....time for the Tank or Dorsey!

His inability to convert fully to TE is what was wrong with the offense.

Alot of ppl didnt notice this but he was actually active this past weekend i think he will continue to suit up so unless we are about to get some breaking news by the end of today i doubt its Aldon.

Tank is already on the 53. This extra spot has nothing to do with him.

he'd be better on a 4-3 team anyways

But it could lead to him being active and actually playing.

It could. But we still have two roster spots available. I have to believe one of those is for Aldon .. have to.
