DE: Lawrence/Griffen/Smith
DT: McCoy/Poe/Gallimore
Crawford toggling between DE in base and DT in nickel/dime

and some combination of Woods/Hill/Armstrong/Anae behind them is something fucking else.

And you have to feel like with Edwards on the staff we'll know exactly how to get the most out of him.

It shows they are going all in.

Quite refreshing.
These are the types of signings I've been wishing they'd make for years.

Dwight Freeney in 2016 comes to mind, he played a role in the Falcons getting to the SB and if not for a once in a generation Brady comeback he'd be remembered in Atlanta for his role in them winning it all. He was playing relatively limited snaps but he made a difference in the 30 or so snaps a game he was getting, especially in the Super Bowl before Atlanta's defense got run down as the Patriots had the ball for basically the entire 4th quarter.

Who's to say what happens on Rodgers' miracle 3rd and 20 completion if Freeney is screaming off the edge as opposed to Crawford?

Griffen has way more in the tank than Freeney at that point but in general it's under the radar signings like these that can make a big impact in the biggest moments.

Swap Freeney and Mayowa and that game might have been different.

The new Whitten and Irving.

Looking at his stats, on top of the 8 sacks last year Griffen also recorded 11 TFLs and 24 QB hits. That's, uhh, pretty good.
