I only wish they would have brought him in sooner. He's got a nonstop motor. He was PFF 11th overall DE vs the run when he played for the Lions.

All we need is for a guy to at the very least get some push on the other side. Win a couple one on ones. allow AA to play more inside on passing downs. He can do this.

What happened to Street - they've given up on him already?

Finally got someone in at least. Fourth year vet. Will be motivated like Moore was to get a shot in the NFL again.

Kinda like this signing.
Edge rusher with a high motor. With Ford on the bench, he may well turn out to be the team's second best edge rusher.

Just a feeling, but I really wish that they had promoted Givens up from the PS also. I just think that he's a stout, lunch pail, get-to-work kind of player that would be great in the center of the line. The better Jones replacement, if you will.

Praise the lord!!! I brought up his name last week.

You certainly did. Good call.

They don't play the same position. Street is more of a DT... Z-man is more of a 4-3 DE, who will rush from the outside. I think Street is pushing like 290 and Z is like 270ish.

This will allow AA to play more inside in nickel (next to buck) which is better for everyone. They should have made this move once Moore got hurt IMO.

He will bring some juice to the edge. Still would have preferred Galette for the speed rush. BUT this will do.

Does this mean they are not confident in Dee Fords return?

No. He's already been ruled out for 2020.

I hear he lost his leg!

Dude has missed 6 games with a sore hamstring. 6 games. Meanwhile they are doing knee surgery on Duane Brown up in Seattle and they are saying he will miss 1 week. Week 17. He is ready for the playoffs. Can you imagine?

So was Zettel on a roster the majority of this year or was he couch surfing like the rest of us on this board?
