Anyone who criticises the deal value is an idiot, particularly with the reworked contract.
But fans have a right to ask if this is enough to fill out our DT rotation. Spence is a solid rotational guy, who has moments of greatness and moments of low involvement (aka Jordan Phillips Syndrome). Godchaux showed a lot of promise, but is raw. Those three guys between them can do a job for you over a game. Taylor and Gabe Wright? Wouldn't want them to be playing many downs in key situations.
Hayes to slide inside on some 3rd down packages? Why not. But again, you wouldn't want to be projecting him into solving any problems for you.
It looks a little shaky still to me, as a group. If all 3 of Spence, Godchaux and Phillips take a decent step forward from Game 1, we'll be absolutely fine. But that's quite a big ask, especially under a new line coach.
We're all excited about our LB/safety group. I hope they get to show off what they can really do and hot have to spend all game mopping up the leaks through the DI. That's why I want this DT group to be at least rock solid, if not spectacular. Currently, it looks a bit feast or famine.
