Yeah I wouldn't mind converting (trade) a DE for a DT. Givens seems light weight and I don't think he'd hold up well at 2i on base downs. I haven't noticed Ridgeway. A solid run stopping 2i would help round out the DT depth.

Ridgeway plays like a career backup at best. Not that impressed with him tbh.

Dude, we had a 250-pound nose playing last night. If Kinlaw goes down, we are in deep s**t inside.

I thought Ridgeway is the backup NT?
Played well.

Agree OR a quality OLine guy.

We'll feel the Impact from the loss of DJ Jones this season. I see us being gashed up the middle from opposing Rb's In the near future.

I liked DJ a lot but I always felt we could use a bigger guy in that spot that could really plug the middle on shirt yardage. Someone like Ngata or Wolfolk. I know those guys are exceptional but anything close would be nice.

I though these run staffers were a dime a dozen.

I wanted them to keep Nkemdiche for the role. I don't see them trading for anything other than OL at this point.

They are but we got rid of Nkemdiche. And D.J. Jones.

We surely didn't get rid of Jones. Just looking to develop the next DJ Jones at a fraction of the cost. Going to be a necessity with so many contracts coming up. I'm honestly not concerned. Will the run D be as good as last year? There's a chance it won't be,but I don't see us turning into the 2016 49ers. I also expect the pressure from the edges to be even better. Pressure up the.middle will likely be better and we have a better secondary..

The Rams finally cracked the code last year Vs us in the NFCCG and realized that they had to run the ball and not give up on running the ball instead of being pass heavy and allowing us to get them in third and long as we flooded the secondary to force turnovers and punts

If we yield on run defense then this will severely weaken us come playoff time especially
I had this dude being the odd man out a few weeks ago but he really showed up this preseason. He looked really good out there.
Hope the dude sticks around, he won that packers game for us. 🤞🏼
