This gives you 4 credible threats to rush the passer. Solly may not be quite the menace Buckner is inside, but if we scheme him a chance he'll get plenty of pressures.

Even if we use him as a "plugger" he can do very well in that role because that plugger's job is to shadow the QB in the A gap and Solly is plenty fast at DT to do that. That leaves QB's no where to go. Can't go up the middle, can't go outside annnnnnd sacked.

Hopefully Thomas can live up to some hype.

Thomas won't even line up as an edge rusher if we take QW, it will probably be Ronald Blair. He's the only guy on the team besides Ford who has the sack production.

I'm taking the Bosa combo......I think Thomas playing inside is better than Blair playing outside.

A constant rotation of fresh guys with different styles to keep the O line off balance.

it just makes no sense to me . they get williams when they have a pro bowler in that spot. unless they are doing the nutty professor thing and saying we can move buck to the outside

Another factor is - which has better nickname potential?
