Sheldon Rankins Signed!

A solid add to the front 4. Add another edge in the draft and this could be a very good defensive front. Another indication that the draft should be heavy on IOL, CB and OLB.

This means one thing we are NOT drafting a Interior D Lineman in the draft...

Q, Sheperd, Foley, Rankins

are the interior of the D Line

Love this signing because i was looking for a back DT for Foli and now we have 1 for 2 years . Team is coming together nicely .

Sheperd can backup Williams at the 3T and Rankins can Backup Foli at the NT position .

Hopefully he can stay healthy. If he does, it's a really nice addition.

He had a decent season last year, missed some games, but overall quite decent. He needs to get healthy and as you say stay healthy. When he's at his best he's a real asset on that line. The defense is starting to look exciting.

26 yr old NT with starting experience is bound be have an injury here and there . Really nice pickup for this defense . With Joyner and Maye patrolling deep and improved pressure up front our CBs don't have to be special, just in position. On paper this defense thus far is much improved over last year already

Broken fibula which required surgery, ankle injury led to IR, knee injury led to IR and ruptured Achilles, 2 surgeries, 4 serious injuries in 5 seasons is more than here and there.

notice Sheldon Rankins is NOT the only 1st round free agents we signed?

Let's hope so. He deserves a break and so do we. I'm optimistic. I know he can play so the rest is up to our new health department. There are several players in need of that department being able to make a difference already.

Unusual injury or situation, a malformed bone growth in the foot. Seems positive and ready to play. I hope he is comfortable and healed
and contributes.

I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that he had that bone growth, it's called Haglunds Defornity, surgically removed. The first type of treatment for that disorder is to wear backless shoes, obviously not going to work in the NFL. That's why surgery is his only real option other that taking pain meds constantly. I can't remember where I read about his surgery but pretty certain that's what happened and that's good news for all of us. Problem solved.

Was watching some highlights on this big man. There are times when he hits the guy in front of him and makes it look like he is hitting the sled. Just drives them straight back.

If it were all roses, Tenn. would have kept him. You read it correctly. I believe it was in the Post. I hope we took a chance that will work in our favor for once.
