Our new front seven continues to offer content with Dre'Mont Jones (best free agent)...Boye Mafe (biggest rookie 2nd year leap)...Bobby Wagner(biggest missing ingredient) and Derick Hall (Star in the making?)
In 2013 we had the LOB backing up a stacked front seven with more traditional 4 man fronts that rotated Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril in on Pass Rush Roles. Our current front seven is close in body types but much younger and able to scheme different looks because of marrying half 3-4 and half 4-3 looks but with personnel better suited for 3-4 roles...the "extra" end being a hybrid (having more speed and range for coverage than a traditional end by blending high pass rush skills yet athletic enough like a LB to drop back in underneath coverage...which is why Derick Hall makes more sense and also accounts for Boye Mafe being chosen from last years draft...as the template they were looking for.
Comparing body sizes from 2013 and now...we are similar but the roles are more dynamic in execution and our 2013 line had more experience sprinkled in.
