re: Ruffino, grain of salt, thinks Lamar Brown is at Edge mainly for depth purposes.

Edge is legitimately a concern for this team. They have no one proven outside Princewill.

I don’t think ppl realize how limited Ross’s experience is. He has 5 TFL and 1.5 sacks in 2 seasons. Never started at Tennessee (although they rotate DL a ton). He had less than 100 snaps against the run last year. He’s got a legit first step and explosiveness we lacked last couple years, but there’s still a range of outcomes for him that are TBD. He could make a big jump like Princewill did last year, but it’s also possible he’s just a great athlete who’s not that good at football and never really develops into what ppl expect. Time will tell.

We need a 4 man rotation. I think Carpenter can hold down a spot and not be a liability. So to me, it comes down to Ross taking a big jump in his development, and Lamar giving us meaningful snaps and having flashes. We’re definitely way more athletic than we’ve been, but also more unproven. Also really can’t afford an injury to either of the starters.

Spears and Hill were edges. Brown is very quick and athletic. I think he can be a great left end.
