AZ54 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Scanning names in FA and noticed Ian Williams FA NT from the 49ers. 65 tackles last season puts him ahead of Wilkerson. He's not a pass rusher but that kind of productivity inside would have made him him our best Dlinemen last year. For comparison Malik Jackson had 45 total tackles. Williams started his career with the 49ers as UDFA and worked his way up. Certainly Fangio would have some experience working with him. We might be seeing one of Williams or Damon Harrison from the Jets (he had 72 combined tackles last year). Goldman moved out to DE could be quite effective with interior pressure. We'd still need some interior pass rush help but we could prioritize that more in a DT we draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scs787 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I brought up the bringing in Harrison and moving Goldman outside thing, and a lot of people weren't fans, but I would still love to see it. Same goes for Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Yep, still not a fan of moving Goldman to the 5T. Goldman kicked ass as a rookie NT. He needs to stay there and continue to get better at one position. We don't need another Kyle Long situation where the team has a dominating player at one position only to move him to a position in which he's not nearly as dominant.

But...Kyle made the Pro Bowl again... 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for Williams. If were going to bring in a DL , lets just get a 5T instead of screwing with a rookie playing a new position.

bradjock Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 If were going to bring in a DL , lets just get a 5T instead of screwing with a rookie playing a new position. Agreed. More importantly, while Goldman could play 5T, his most natural position is the nose. Plenty of other guys we can sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
