Neild is the pass rushing NT; Chris Baker is the run stuffing NT. It sucks that both are good at the opposites weakness. If we combined them, you'd be looking at Chris Beild, the best NT in the NFL. But we can't so we're stuck with 2 average backups with one of them going to be cut and never heard about again.

Combine them and they could become Chris Naked.

I've wondered that too. Is he asking too much money?

looks like Antoine Winfield is close to signing in Seatle. https://twitter.com/Edwerderespn/sta...08030713991168

O well, he could have started in Washington but maybe he thinks they r closer to a ring

I like Neild too, if anything for the good story - 7th round pick who gets 1.5 sacks on his first start.. Also got to love the beard.

But best man wins. Also, Brace is in the mix, the 2nd round pick who's underachieved. Figure where you're drafted shows talent, and where you end up shows work ethic, but hoping one of these guys flashes talent for us.

They were high on Nield in year two if I remember correctly. Honestly having him turn into a true NT and rotating Cofield,
Bowen, Carricker, and Jenkins at end could really generate that pass rush we have been looking for.

Of course with Nield he will probably take another year to really start performing. Seems like Jenkins was finally starting to come on at the end of the year. I think we will see him take that next step this year.

Since when is Nield a "pass rushing" NT? He is and was a classic space eater NT.

Coming out of WVU, the knock on him in the scouting reports was that he was too much of a one dimensional immovable, run stuffer who didn't create pressure or push the pocket. In the couple of games he played, and from what I saw, that seemed like a pretty fair assessment.

I thought he actually did ok as a rusher. I seem to remember him getting 2 sacks against the Giants his rookie year, opening day.

I remember watching him play preseason and regular season and he was very movable, but when it was a passing down he had good moves to create pressure. College is one thing; NFL is a different game. Its what I see when I scout him, and as the previous comment said, he had 1.5 sacks against the giants.

Has Charles Woodson got anything left in the tank? I like the fit here. One year deal, of course.

[bigant]

Darn it ,thought we a a really good chance of getting winfield,with that said here are two thoughts 1) is there any other fa corner that can help us for a minnimal rate that is fairly good and 2) damm seattle is going to be loaded

Winfield is the only aged corner I would be willing to sign. Woodson has always been to slow for me, ands now that he's older he's slowed down even more. On top of that he's not producing like he used to. Last year he played in 7 games and had only 25 tackles with 1 INT. No thanks.

Woodson has been playing safety.
