Naw, Wills is younger comparatively speaking, rather have a backup that offers more upside, that's not a diss to Hyder.

Agreed. Willis still has some upside.

If we got the hyder that we had when bosa was out then it's not even close. that hyder would make a great starting bookend right now. Willis would not. just a depth rotational guy.

Doesn't always work that way though.
Willis tricks me every preseason into thinking he can be a good pass rusher. But then the regular season starts........lol


Promising young player still still scratching the surface.

Turning out to to be a good day, so far.

Agree!
This guy had a great game. I don't know anything about the Vikings' tackles out there, but Jordan Willis was beating them all day.

He's a good player and has been way overlooked by fans this offseason. I'd rather keep him than Hyder.

I wanna keep them all :(. So much D-line talent, so few roster spots.

Jordan Willis should make the team. He's been the most consistent edge rusher throughout the preseason and whooping these tomato can tackles each week. Willis looks more explosive and powerful than in previous season.

Willis was my pre-preseason pick to be the odd man out. Guess I may be wrong. Seems like either Turay or Hyder is the odd man out.

Thought so too. At this point I think it's Hyder, which means it will be Turray

Yeah, IMO, one of those 2 doesn't make it. Willis has been doing this all preseason with his power rushes. He changed his stance and looks bigger and more powerful this year. I think Kocurek puts a premium on the ability to rush with power and maintain your rush lane's leverage as an edge rusher, so they must be liking what they're seeing from Willis.

We have so many great edge players. I would like to see us trade for a quality backup NT with one of these guys.

I like Turay in that he brings a speed element to the DE group. If Turay doesn't make the 53, then only Ebukam can rush with speed. That speed could be useful in running stunts.
I haven't watch Hyder closely this preseason so my thoughts of him are based on memories of 2020 - not sure if he's the same player.
