He's going to be a 4-3 dt

He was a starter for one year in Houston in which they struggled mightily against the run. He is more quick than powerful, adept at bringing pressure up the middle but not a guy who will anchor and hold up the middle well.
Originally posted by Phoenix49ers:Originally posted by saniner:I like the Jay Ratliff comparison. A penetrating NT. They can still draft or sign a fatty to stop the run
As long as they add a true NT, this could wind up being a pretty good move if Mitchell can stay healthy. Nice DL depth overall.

We need 2 different 4-3 DTs.
I'm thinking he's being signed to play the weakside, backing up either armstead or buckner. And will see time in our nickel. I don't like the idea of a 300 lb fat NT type guy.
- The weak side DT is a penetrating guy who can rush the passer.
- The strong side guy is a Fat NT type.
Originally posted by Ninerblood:I agree Phoenix. It's kind of like how the Seahawks have a more fast and athletic attacking DL in the same scheme we'll be running. Hence probably why Seattle was pursuing him too.

"in landing Mitchell, who goes 6-3, 310 pounds and will play the run-stuffing defensive tackle role in the team's 4-3 defense."

Walter is pretty much the equivalent of a lesser-informed member of a random NFL football forum. He just posts a lot of abject nonsense.

Ugh. Hopefully we're still looking at Poe/Williams/etc. in FA. And also looking at maybe Brantley/Qualls/Vanderdoes in the draft.
Originally posted by 99problems:If this is indeed the case, then where do we see Buckner and AA?
Great pickup. Since moving to the 4/3 will need more interior lineman.
He's not a NT he's more a pass rushing DT will still need a big immovable object in the middle.

You don't like the idea? So? Some ppl here strongly assume that he was signed to play 1tech.

"He is expected to help a run defense that not only finished 32nd in the NFL last year but sent a franchise record in allowing 2,654 yards on the ground to go along with a league-worst 25 rushing touchdowns allowed."
