    Really like this guy , he has shown ability in limited play this pre season and has the right size to be a 3-4 DE. He seems strong at point of attack and able to shed blocks.

    He has bulked up since he went undrafted out of Iowa and could be a good depth option this year as he was a decent player at College level but from what I read the knock was his size.

    Sounds good. Hopefully, they can find some more diamonds in the rough to fill in the depth at D-Line.

    i also think he is the first guy chasing Ropati's vacant Roster-Spot.. really liked what i saw from him against carolina.

    How tall is Kroul? He looked like a baby faced giant.

    He also had Westy chew his ass off for 2 stupid penalties on the same play.

    Yeah but that is like a rite of passage for a special teamer.

    Funny haw Westy was looking all over the sideline for him. Seemed Kroul is a bright guy and tried to get lost in a crowd.

    Westhoff found him though!

    I think Kroul takes Pito's spot, in all likelihood which is a shame since i thought Ropati made some HUGE strides this preseason. I think Steinkuhler has done a lot of positive things, too.

    Rodrique Wright is his biggest competition now.

    Was Pitoitua playing well this pre-season?

    I would be surprised if the Jets didn't sign another DT for depth.
