    Merrill needs to drastically improve his lateral mobility to be an NFL player.

      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 ?

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

          more to come....
          I'm hoping he wears #75 because Fox is my last name and #75 was my high school football number. Then I'd have an excuse to buy another Charger jersey - not that I really need one.

          He'll probably end up with a 90-something number though.

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

              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..

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

                    many people here want him to gain 40 pounds and trade Tillery for a punter.
                    I thought the were trying Tillery out at RT

                          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.
