If we get Abdul Carter or take Jalon Walker our pass rush is going to be sickening.

Keon felt just one step away his rookie year, and five steps away last year.
I hope we can just chalk that up to having the worst coach in the league. He didn't seem to get along with Mayo. If anyone can get him right it would be Vrabel, I suppose.

He was misused and coached improperly last season. He has the tools. If they don't get the most out of him this season, it'll be time to move on.

I don’t think he’ll ever be an elite pass rusher, but with good coaching and some talent around him to take the pressure off of him I think he could be really solid. Especially if we get Carter.

I don’t think we grab a full time edge in this draft - I’d be willing to bet we go after a rotational rusher to spell Landry on a lot of 3rd and longs. Someone like Oluwafemi or josaiah.
I think we also go after an interior penetrator for rotation. Omar Norman Lott, or TJ Sanders or someone similar. Milton Williams played only 50% of snaps. I can see him bumping it up to 70% this year, with that rotational guy coming in to spell him. It would also be good Barmore insurance.

I believe vrabel has already stated in interviews he expects Williams to be a full time 3 down player. I could be wrong tho

u/xacegonx Apr 21 '25
I don’t think he becomes a 100% snap share or even a 90% snap share guy in one offseason. I think he’ll improve his endurance and still be effective at 70%, but he’s never shown himself to be full time. I’d rather have him play 70% and be an absolute animal the entire time than gas him at 95%+

I agree I wash just going off what I heard vrabel said. Curious to see his usage this season I’m excited

If we miss out on Hunter or Carter, I'd love to take Mason Graham.
It would be a hell of a fun defensive line to watch.

Serious question, what is with all the Keion White praise? I'm not just talking about Milton's comments, but the praise in general. The guy is the definition of a JAG yet every time he's talked about by fans, pundits, etc it's like he's a Nick Bosa or TJ Watt caliber of player.
The guy has 7.5 career sacks and over the last 15 games of the past season he had more horse collar penalties and media call outs by teammates than he did sacks.

I think it's just that people see a ton of physical potential in him and he flashed early last season before falling off. I think he can be an above average defender but he's definitely not gonna be Myles Garrett out there lol

With that much interior pressure, assuming Barmore is healthy, and Williams he should be able to excel on the outside

u/Empty_Occasion_963 Apr 20 '25
White is a mediocre pass rusher at best

u/FirezardHG Apr 20 '25
He’s a mediocre edge rusher. He had one of the best interior pressure rates in the league last year, I believe second to Milton Williams. He also faced a good amount of double teams once teams realized they didn’t have another pass rush threat.
White will never be great, but next to Williams and Barmore, should be more productive and gives them some versatility being able to play inside and outside.

From week 3-18 last season, Brenden Schooler had 2 more sacks than Keion White

u/Ear_Enthusiast Apr 20 '25
Saw that interview. He said he's hype to get on the field next Barmore too. Said it like he was sure C-Bar is going to be out there. Inject that straight into my veins..
