D-line Depth

  • Terry, our defensive line depth is severely banged up right now. I expect us to add a defensive lineman. If we don't, I think it would simply be poor roster management, carrying 6 safeties, 8 linebackers, and 9 offensive linemen, with only 3 healthy corners and 7 "healthy" defensive lineman, excluding the ailing jacob ford. Not to even mention Tony Brown who's knee flared up in the game, and william hayes who left the game (but returned) after re-aggravating his knee injury. If it was me, I'd waive a linebacker (like patrick bailey) and a safety like nick schommer and add Bakhtiari and trade for Haynesworth. You think we'll make a move of some sort to add some d-line depth this week?

  • It's definitely possible, but from what I'm hearing, they're not going to reopen the Haynesworth talk just yet. I don't think Bakhtiari is a real option. If he was, they would have put him on the practice squad. Hall Davis, who they are teaching to play tackle, might be an option. They liked him well enough to sign him to the practice squad over 7th round pick David Howard, but he is green and will need a lot of coaching up.

    TitanInsider: Any closer and you'd be in the huddle.

  • Not to discount what you said, but Bakhtiari actually didn't have practice squad eligibility if my calculations are correct :p...but there probably are better options out there. I think Hall Davis is way too raw to be brought onto the 53 at this point.
