They've cut their teeth on special teams. How else are they supposed to earn reps? How many reps do they get at practice?

For some reason, can't put a finger on it but not a fan of Brady and Matthew Tkachuk. Wierdest thing. Here's hoping the Canadian Men's hockey team (Josh Morrissey leading the way) pummels, annihalates, crushes, vaporizes, stomps who ever gets in their way of the Gold medal. Go high on Helle, give limited to space to KC to take his game away, NN says he slumps around this time of the year so nothing to do here. Once it's all over, Go Jets Go.

ICE isn't really seeking out specific people, at least not in their showy ops -- they're swarming people who, according to their small, smooth brains, do not look like Americans. This is why they are hated so much and why people in Minneapolis are following them around with whistles. (Please forgive if this is too much politics for MBB)

Haaaaaavvvveeeee you met Osh?

Why would ICE try to find specific people in a parade of "1 million". Wouldn't that be the least effective way of doing their job? However it may be the smartest move since 1 million people would be distracted downtown leaving the other areas empty and much easier to move in and move out.

That's where I see Ceresna in the 30. Will be interesting for sure.

I'll bring the popcorn.

I don't think we are going to run the 30 base. So it won't be too bad. But we still need bodies on the DL at every role and both passports. I know we have some good imp DL on our NL. We will see what floods in the form of rookies.

The question of who will MOS roster is legit. I am pretty stoked that Walters is bringing in guys that are legit enough to make him look foolish if he doesn't utilize them. No offense to J.Jones last year but JSK is a guy that if you keep him out of the lineup, then the HC has to draw some legit fire. If anything, it demonstrates that Walters is in control of who is getting signed again.

If you look at our DL roster as it sits, we have no Dts over 295 lbs. We have 5 DL under 250 lbs. And we have 5 guys who are 270-290. If we wanted to run a 30 base, we would need a couple 300lbs noses, maybe even a starter sliding lawson over, and some ends in the bare minimum range of 260/265-280lbs range. 4I, the edge in a 30 front is pretty brutal. It's very similar to playing nose, but instead of primarily working an undersized canadian C, you are always working the gap between the biggest imp tackle and a big guard.

sadly...I doubt he will.....again....and be our demise...Walter's so far has literally set him up with a no fail plan, but If there a way...I sure Osh will mess it up...TBD....And I say that as history has shown us that...over and over

Lawson is really good. Though his versatility between being able to play all the dt alignments are his greatest strength. The issue is, you need 800-900 snaps easy from the nose in a 30 front. Lawsons peak is 550. Even if he stepped up to the 800+ and held up, you need insurance policies and some one who can spell him. The whole off season is winding into the point of, will he or won't he, when it comes to mos finally rostering the best players.

We have signed a bunch of NT candidates this offseason through recruitment. I disagree on Corney/Kongbo/and Waggoner. All 3 got extensive playing time early in their careers and that was playing behind Westerman/jeffcoat.

Possible aslong as Lawson can hold his own.

In all honesty JSK is better and more versatile than Jones and Wilson at this point in careers...so this makes sense if he supplants one right off roster...and the guy he should is Jones...and allow the cdn rooks to get ..earn and maintain reps and also allow one of the intruiging guys brought in with serious upside a chance to develop...does Osh tho have the ability and moreso the acumen to see this and go with best combo based on skill..upside.. versatility?? God no...hes severely handicapped and biased in that regard

he is not a 30 front nose tech. Not in his prime, or now. He's a 3tech. If any thing in a 40 you'd slide him to the edge. He has played some snaps in his earlier days on the edge in a 30 and 40 in a pinch.

I think we will see a lot of Ceresna at DE in a 30 front.

Mos loves over achieving canadians. I have not seen him love the high picks and us school kids (Cahoon style canadians) He likes guys like Kramdi, we've seen a bunch of guys with massive promise who produced in limited use never get much of a shot. Corney, Kongbo, Waggoner, etc. We have been a 40 Defence for 98% of the time JY and Hall have been here coaching. Would we have just brought in the best 3tech in the league to slide him over to 4i? Would Ceresna come over for that fit? Idk man, that is a much tougher role to play and far more wear. IF, we are going to be a 30 team to the volume we were in 24, you will see a group of import nose tackles brought in, and another couple canadian undersized DTs who could play the 4i spot. We only have 1 nose on the roster right now in lawson. And we need a 2nd canadian and another guy who can spell him on the dl. Imo, Jjones was as much a gap, but in an even greater area of need. As a guy who can pass rush.

So a 2 game segment is your basis of 3 QBs? You can disagree if you want but the proof is in the pudding overall. Check out all 3 guys average completion yardage and it is dink and dunk numbers. Did they have moments where they didn't look overwhelmed? Sure. We got much better outings from Dru Brown than any of those 3 ever had.

Makes sense. You really need a stud DT in the middle for a 30 front to be successful. Enter Jake Ceresna.

I would have agreed with you but I think that returning to more 30 front is why we paid big for Ceresna and now brought in JSK. At least that seems to be the most logical reason for what we've done in FA...and I don't mind it because we had great success with it in 2024. What you are stating is definitely possible too because JSK can be an effective blitzer. I just look at our personnel right now tho, and it just screams 30.

I think Mike and Jack are more likely. Especially with the number of db/wils we have. We didn't run a ton of 30 fronts last year. We cut our 30 front usage by about 70% last year from the previous year. It went from our base more than 2/3s of the time to less than 100 snaps. Maybe JY will bring back the 30, but I think it was a forced evolution of our inability to get any pressure or defend guys in man. We turned away from it soo hard despite still having poor pressure last year, that I don't think JY wants to play a Canadian style of Fangio 6 cover. I think we will gear to get as much pressure as possible with 4-5 rushers, and probably rush the 5th guy or blitz as often as we play a 30 front and rush 3.

Wilson is here now. Let's see if he makes it through camp. Shay and Smith need to earn playing time, not be given it based on passport/draft status. We play a ton of 3-4. There is ample opportunity to get them on the field even with the IMPs we have. In a 3-4 you need guys like JSK that are sound in every situation. I could see JSK playing a lot of MIKE this year.

Well this is a confusing one... I feel the same way as when we re-signed Wilson... I like the player, but I don't see the fit and this is what makes it even more confusing... JSK is a better WIL... Ayers is a better teamer.... Woodbey is a better "utility" player... Jones still stays at MLB... Shay and Smith need to start getting some playing time... why is Wilson here??

Disagree majorly. They didn't come in looking completely lost and throwing 3 yard check downs. I didn't say they "lit it up" but they at least showed that they can enter into the game and at least show a general threat of scoring.
