Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 508313">I went through the ESPN depth charts.  Here are the DE starters with listed weights for all 3-4 base defenses.  Typically one or both of the guys in these pairs move to the inside DT position(s) in nickel.PHI:  Thornton 309, Cox 300WASH:  J. Jenkins 315, Bowen 310AZ: Campbell 300, Dockett 290SF:  McDonald 300, Smith 285GB: Jones 285, Raji 337NO: Hicks 324, Jordan 287BUF: Carrington 301, Williams 303NYJ: Wilkerson 315, Richardson 294KC: Jackson 296, DeVito 305SD: Reyes 300, Liuget 300BALT: Canty 317 (the one who got away), Jones 315CLE: Rubin 330, Bryant 310PIT: Hood 310, Keisel 285HOU: Watt 289, Smith 289IND: Redding 318, Francois 297Datone Jones at 285 is at the bottom threshold for 3-4 DEs.  I'm waiting to see how he handles the run.  Neal at 275 is below the threshold.  Pairing two DEs at those weights will not happen, in base or nickel.  There was no brainstorm here in having the incredible shrinking Neal try standing up; there isn't much choice.DE in Capers defense is not nearly as complicated as LB or DB.  Trgovac will tell you as much.  It's boils down to one-on-one, get off the block.  And that's more or less a universal fact regardless of scheme.  A 1st. round draft pick DE not getting a decent amount of snaps would be a disappointment.</blockquote>
