Zach Moore came back really bulked up and there’s talk of him playing more of a defensive tackle role at least in sub packages. So I’m really curious to see what they do with him since coming out of a small school we couldn’t really expect much out of him last year.
Assuming you mean Flowers not Roberts at the defensive end spot. Yeah there’s a bunch of them there now, and I think to some extent it’s aimed at insurance for next season when Chandler might walk and with Ninkovich into his 30s they really need protection should he get injured.
How does it play out this year? Hard to say, but the early reports are that they’re getting Nink/Chandler/Sheard all on the field at the same time. The best answer is that they’ll mix and match like they usually do. We can’t really put it into a box like you could in the past where it was “okay, they’re mostly a 34 front, how does everyone fit onto the depth chart”.
Grissom might even be headed to linebacker, we haven’t heard where he’s starting out yet, but he has a lot of athleticism.
So it’s good, versatile depth that they’ll be able to do a number of things with, but most importantly they should have fresh pass rushers ready to go for four quarters, something the definitely didn’t have last year.
