should we try and sign Grady Jackson?

We don't need a 35 year old fatass.

Let me be the first to chime in with the inevitable, "Let's sign him to the vet minimum, whats the worst that could happen?".

Seriously though, our DLine is much improved this year. They don't need to make as many tackles thanks to our excellent LB play. They just need to fill gaps and try to bring pressure from the ends. I don't think we need help.

The best thing about this thread; the first line. Surprised it wasn't started already.

That's a sign of progress here, we're not jumping to start threads about every quasi big name player available, and then once one is started eveybody says NO!

I'll follow the trend here & say no as well.

no. age, attitude, and weight were the reasons he was cut. no no no no no

Not just no but hell no!!!!

I will disagree.
Our defense is solid against passing teams...but I am not so confident in their running defense. Yes, the Dline has been good so far in the middle....but for depth, Grady Jackson would be solid. In fact, a rotation for him would keep him fresh.

I say add him if we dont have to ditch anyone on the d line...perhaps cut a WR, we have too many.

We've actually been better vs the run (4th overall in the NFL) than vs. the pass (8th in the NFL).

I like our young defensive tackles Montgomery and Golston. Don't muke it up by bringing in some old, out of shape and overpaid player that not going to address a need.

We're #2 against the pass, and #4 against the run when you divide the total yardage by the attempts.

I think having a two possession lead at half in 5 out of our 6 games has a lot to do with that.

To me, Kedric Golston should only be a starter on a poor mans team, so I would look at the possibility of drafting or bringing in a very good DT over the next two years.

The DT situation is not nearly as dire as I originally thought. Neither is the DE situation, although I think teams are going to start exposing both Daniels and Carter in the running game soon.

no need to use the fatass term he is probably sensitive about his weighthttp://www.thewarpath.net/images/icons/icon12.gif
