He's not a NT he's more a pass rushing DT will still need a big immovable object in the middle.

Lol - let the "they see AA as a bust!" talk begin again. (Not saying you said that, but watch lol).

I don't see how dt effect AA

Originally posted by Phoenix49ers:I don't get the Buckner at strongside at all, compared to AA. AA seems to be more powerful, Buckner is more of an athlete and penetrator, is he?

I think Buckner can be moved around, playing at both DE and DT. With Saleh having coached under Gus Bradley who liked using a BIG DE on the strongside, I wouldn't be shocked to see the thing happen with the 49ers. As far as Armstead goes, it would appear that playing inside would be his best fit in the defense but until the final roster gets assembled, who knows how they plan on using him?

Some reading I've come across. I wonder what a Dolphin fan thinks. Maybe he's a well rounded player which is just fine. That SEA/ATL/DEN wanting him means he was well coveted so that's good. Lynch scores!

Mitchell excels in the run game and was a solid rotational player for Miami in 2014. After signing a 1-year deal with the team Mitchell managed to carve out a role for himself on the defensive line alongside Randy Starks and Jared Odrick.

He's played both three-technique and a nose tackle, and is an underrated member of the Texans defense. He's never been a dominating player but, like Soliai, is able to eat up blocks and take on two players at the same time, using his 6'3", 300-pound frame to free up other defenders to attack opposing quarterbacks. As the Miami Herald's Adam H. Beasley pointed out, the Texans' defense averaged 4.2-yards allowed per carry when Mitchell was not on the field, but that allowed average dropped to 3.1 yards whenever Mitchell was out there.

The interesting part is that Mitchell will be starting alongside Suh. Mitchell has been a part-time player his entire career and maxed out at 553 snaps in 2013 with the Houston Texans. He's a much better run-stuffer than pass-rusher, but being a starter doesn't necessarily mean being an every-down player. After all, first down is a running down.

5.5 sacks in 5 season? seems mediocre to me.
