Chargers sign DT Morgan Fox

[Velo]

If I were Tillery I would be making sure this is the year I figured it out and put it all together or people like Fox and other signings will be taking my place.

How prophetic this comment turned out to be.

I'm confused whether Morgan Fox is a DE or a DT. I see him listed as a DE, and he doesn't really have the mass in the a** to be an interior DL.

Anybody who can take on a double, yes please. Tired of watching one blocker take out two of our guys..

Someone posted this in another forum but Fox has 7th highest double team rate.. not great win rate. But eats up double teams which should help our other guys.

I wonder how often he was doubled on the Rams and what his pass rush win rate looked like there. I think he will face fewer double teams playing with Mack and Bosa... Not that Burns is a slouch, but having 2 guys who need lots of attention instead of 1 makes a big difference, I think.

Plus, it helps if u don't have T-rex arms...

Yeah, Forrest isn't a pass rusher. He wins his fights in a phone booth (small area). Short yardage D specialist , DT depth. Practice squad.

Bash - A Johnson- Covington- Fox- Tillery- Tito ?

He’s practice squad for sure.

That's okay,
many people here want him to gain 40 pounds and trade Tillery for a punter.

I thought the were trying Tillery out at RT

Also I think the shake up of DL coaches may have something to do with not playing favorites in the camp battles.

The coaches and players alike need to be on notice--we're in it to win it...and favoritism has no place here...

You need lateral agility to cover your gap responsibilities in run D too.

Jay Rodgers was the DL coach when Brandon was OLB coach in Chi. Could be Jay has a better understanding of what Staley wants from IDL & the language Staley uses.

ps: Rodgers was awarded the NFL's top DL Coach honors when Staley was there..
