For anyone who needs to hear this (not directed at you)…

Aurich doesn’t play a dedicated nose. His 1-tech shifts into position based on offensive alignment; it’s an over front and the 1 is on the weak side. If the offense flips their strong side, our DTs just shift, not flip. So, our DTs need to be capable of playing the spread of 1, 2i, 2, and 3 (he plays the DTs at 3 on passing downs a good deal) as down to down they will go back and forth on what they are playing. The desire for a fat ass to just stare at centers all game isn’t what Aurich wants so it shouldn’t be what we expect. We should expect versatility.
But I LIKE fat asses who stare at centers all game.
 
You have to have a fit.

If DR has elite OTs and elite WRs, and a breakaway threat at RB, he would be deadly

He was never going to be deadly here.
If we had elite OTs, WRS and RBs..... most any qb power 5 qb would be also be deadly? No?

The part that's often left out when discussing DRs value on the market is DR's deep ball. It did not translate to college, for whatever reason. That deep ball is what got him the 5* rating and its just not part of his toolkit anymore. Hes a low 4* qb, even in an ideal scenario. Even if his style was a good fit the value was never in the ballpark.

Is Donovan Jones a high level cover guy or is he an average cover guy.
I know that Cockeye thinks he is a high level guy. I'll question the validity of this, but supposedly Cockeye offered him double our NIL deal...
