We had Fox on our PR for 2 years. Goes to Hamilton and records 26 DTs. I think Woods might be a keeper. 4 games 10 DTs. But, we might actually have to give him a bump in salary. 

Is 26 tackles (with no sacks/FF or any other stats) on the league's worst rushing defence good?

The interior of the D-line needs more beef; it's been too small recently. If the Bombers could find another Nevis and/or Richardson type, that would improve things, IMO.

Another problem with our D line could be our stubborn D coach thinking 3 man rush works, giving the QB all day to find his receivers. Good receivers will get open even with an extra D in the back field

is it stubbornness? or playing the hand that's dealt him. I don't think we had 4 good enough dlinemen to generate a rush. If they can't do that then it's advantageous to go to the extra linebacker/db
If we upgrade the dline then hopefully it gives Younger more options to change up the schemes

The point of our defensive strategy for the last several seasons is to rush only 3 guys, and have 9 guys covering 5 recievers and an RB.  We're not trying to get a massive number of sacks and pressures buy throwing 5/6/7 rushers.....instead, we sit back and make plays on the pass, with a few LB's hanging around the box to stop the short pass/scrambling QB, and blanket coverage on everyone deep.

The issue, I would argue, isn't the players, nor the coaching - it's the defensive scheme as a whole, from the top down.  Osh and Jordan need to answer for that.  We've just been able to be pretty good at that a few years ago when we had a lot of dominant players on D.  Now that we're about even with other teams in terms of skill, that scheme doesn't seem to be working as well.

Gronowski is the real deal at 6'3' 230 he reminds me of a lot of Josh Allen.

I'll take your word for it. I wasn't overly impressed by him this week in the game I watched partially. In fairness that's not much for me to go on in channel surfing some of the college games.

That said, being on our neg list doesn't mean he ever ends up in Canada. So we'll see if he gets drafted this spring.

I see Elgersma got a workout by the 49 niners.

Can anyone check in on @blue_or_die? I think his sarcasm machine might have exploded.
