Who will be the Skins best Pass Rusher for 2016-17?
While last season we saw the Offense carry the team into the Playoffs...breakout seasons from Cousins, Jones, Reed, Crowder, Moses and Scherff lead the way. The Defense left a lot to be desired.
In order to take the next step, the D must improve and an emergence of a dominant pass rusher is usually a pivotal piece of any such step. Who will it be? Junior "Belt Jesus" Galette....Swaggy Baker....Vet Ryan Kerrigan...the disappointment which was Stephen Paea...or second year player Preston Smith? I'd say keep your eye on Preston Smith, apparently he was a monster this spring and OTA, if he can continue to ball and stay injury free, watch out. Who you got?

I hope Preston Smith can bring it. But we need everyone to contribute.

Preston Smith, but Kerrigan will be a close second.

I'd like to see a little more return from that Kerrigan contract this year.
With galette healthy this olb group looks impressive.

Ryan Kerrigan
I love that we have enough edge rushing talent to make it a legit question. |

Hands down it's Junior Galette. There's no replacement for explosion off the edge, his first step is way faster than Kerrigan's and Smith's. When you watch practices, Trent consistently handles Smith and Kerrigan. Galette gave him a very hard time before his injury.
And Kerrigan & Smith are very good. Galette is different, he has the quick twitch. He'll make this defense much different.

Re: Who will be the Skins best Pass Rusher for 2016-17?
I didn't pick junior because of his last 2 injuries. I worry that he might be another version of Reed, awesome player when healthy, out of commission when injured.

Before the injury, he was one of those guys. Going with Galette here.

Assuming he's back to 100% I'll take Kerrigan to lead the team in sacks.
I could see at least 2 guys getting 10+ each. |

Should be Gallette, but maybe Smith edges him out. It's never gonna be Kerrigan, just not quick enough.

Never? He's done it before, why not again? He had 13.5 just a couple years ago, 12 or 13 should be enough to lead the team again. |
