With the retirement of Adams I don’t see the team rushing in a replacement so they must have a combination in mind. Whats your take on the possible combination and potential replacements.
Well apparently Drew asked MB if Matt Kirk would take over with Steele possibly backing up and he said no, they're still looking to put an import at that position.Probably Bolden who wasn't impressive at all last year.
There are 2 DT positions in Marshall’s D. Bolden will be in the same position as last year. He is not the replacement for Adams as he didn’t play that position. McIntyre took over for Adams and Drew states that they are practicing that way at camp. Bolden plays the right DT. Adams played the left.
Had Adams ever played a full or even half a season, he seemed to be always injured and I can count on one finger the number of sacks I remember him getting. Ain't a big loss IMO.
He got off to a good start and dominated the second half of the retro game against Winnipeg, but then got injured the very next week and that plagued him the rest of the season.
When he was healthy, Adams was our best DL. He was a real impact player for us. I'm sure Obie will be on the hunt for someone to replace Adams. If the guys in camp can't do it then he'll find someone who can play there. :cowboy:
