I dunno. We currently have two DT’s that when healthy, were playing VERY good football despite what the semi’s here think. I only want to dump Seymore and Kelly because of their costs, not their play.

I want another Grady Jackson. Much cheaper, and damn good.

But drafting a top notch DT, to replace two top notch DT’s isnt going to solve anything if our DE play is still so poor.

Gotta fix the DE issues before drafting DT. We could always hold on to Kelly and Seymore one more year, and paired with JPP & Moore and we’d have maybe the best D-Line in the league with Bilkuldi, Shaunessy, and Houston rotating in often.

to me, kelly and seynour part of the root of the problem here in oakland..we havnt been able to stop the run or get a push up the middle for years. mcclain, seymour, kelley , and huff have gotz ta go imo.

If you think Kelly and Seymore are the reasons for our run woes, youre not properly evaluating the games.

They occupy lineman, and regularly change the line of scrimmage. It’s up to the DE’s to seal the edge (which ours dont) and our LB’s to fill the proper gaps that the DT’s create (which they dont).

A new DT wont change anything in those regards.
——————————-
if the new dt’s better, absolutely would change.

———–

A new DT would be cheaper, but he wouldnt play much better than Kelly and Seymore have this year.

A new DT wont solve our real issues. We need better DE’s and smarter LBs.
————————————
i would say most dt’s would play better than them..i think this way because i believe you have to control the middle of the field 1st and foremost on both sides of the line. mclame in this convo too.
