We also signed DT John Hughes after Anzalone was placed on IR. Hughes was on the team during the preseason & actually looked decent. Looks like they're trying to find that 4th DT.


Wonder why Langford was not given a shot.

Langford didn't play in a game, but they got a look at him in practice. We really don't need help with interior pass rush(Rankins, Onyemata, Okafor, & Hendrickson). Our interior run defense is screwed if Rankins or Davison gets injured(Rankins' improvement in run defense is probably the most important thing that nobody is talking about). I could be wrong, but I don't think we can rely on Onyemata to consistently stop the run on the interior yet. I like him as a rotational backup though.

If I had to guess...Hughes is probably better than Langford at stopping the run.
