They have Young, 8 sacks last year and he really didn't know what was up...very limited techniques, You have Jones who is a very good pass rusher from the inside backer spot....Lake can do some as well, Curl ...does he have the ability, I know he's a good tackler.
Turner, Young will be better. If Brown continues his upward play this year he can be a block eater for Turner, even get some hits himself. Not even counting Mathis or Hampton and what they can do this year understanding the game instead of thinking how to do something/where to be etc......
It's funny because several people on the board had been grumbling that AD was not the "old" AD...now he's retired and it's dang, we got nothing now!..
The RAMS had to know about this for some time, they have then IMO made plans to replenish the spot, not going to be another AD, but he'll be above average. All is not lost, they get desperate as you put it is the worse thing they could do....Overpay now or over reach in the draft...not good. They don't need to IMO.
