Re: should we try and sign Grady Jackson?

I will disagree.
Our defense is solid against passing teams...but I am not so confident in their running defense. Yes, the Dline has been good so far in the middle....but for depth, Grady Jackson would be solid. In fact, a rotation for him would keep him fresh.

I say add him if we dont have to ditch anyone on the d line...perhaps cut a WR, we have too many.

We've actually been better vs the run (4th overall in the NFL) than vs. the pass (8th in the NFL).

Not per play.

We're #2 against the pass, and #4 against the run when you divide the total yardage by the attempts.

I think having a two possession lead at half in 5 out of our 6 games has a lot to do with that.

It's easy to be ranked high in the running game when you are playing passing teams like Detroit, Philly, GB, etc.
I am impressed with our pass D....but just like in the offseason, I am still not sold on our Dline against the run yet.

Yes, Grady is older but if we lose a Dlineman, do we live with Golston again?
I just dont know.

If we sign him no one would run in the middle against us because Grady 400 + Mont's 320 = HOLY F*CK!

Re: should we try and sign Grady Jackson?

Looks like Stroud could be facing a 4 game suspension for steroid abuse. So that explains the Grady signing I suppose

ESPN - Jags' Stroud faces suspension - NFL

Re: should we try and sign Grady Jackson?

I like our young defensive tackles Montgomery and Golston. Don't muke it up by bringing in some old, out of shape and overpaid player that not going to address a need.

I agree.

To me, Kedric Golston should only be a starter on a poor mans team, so I would look at the possibility of drafting or bringing in a very good DT over the next two years.

The DT situation is not nearly as dire as I originally thought. Neither is the DE situation, although I think teams are going to start exposing both Daniels and Carter in the running game soon.

I really don't think he's an upgrade to anyone we have now.

Re: should we try and sign Grady Jackson?

Maybe something cap friendl like a 5 years deal starting around vet min. with performance bounuses making it worth 1.5 mil the first year. years 2-5 maybe a mil each year. We could use some bulk in the middle.

I'd take back big Joe in a heartbeat over blubber-butt Grady Jackson. I just don't see where Jackson would fill a pressing need.

He's 35, 350+lbs, a bad locker room guy, and his contract is too big. NO.
