Is Kony Ealy our best defensive end?

it's hard for me to tell. he might be playing better than CJ at the moment(maybe) but he isnt better than him, yet.

 

He obviously hasn't had a better career but it's hard to argue that CJ's playing any better than him. Says more about CJ than Ealy though.

Addison maybe?  Ealy hasn't been terrible, he's gotten a few pressures, a few good plays, but I've seen some terrible over pursuits and things like TE's blocking him with ease.  He often looks like Hardy in his first couple of years in run defense.  He's got some ways to go, but the only real difference I see between his first year and CJ/Hardy's first years is that both of them had a good DE on the other end and that helped them actually get a few sacks.  Ealy doesn't look to be behind the curve, just not ahead it either.

CJ has been playing pretty well after the rocky start. CJ is our best DE right now, but Ealy looks to have been a good pick and just another reason to stick with DG and give him the benefit of the doubt.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By GoobyPls · Posted

      I agree with OP notion, QBs always get credited for game winning drives even if they do minimal. Just last night Caleb got credited for a GE drive when they basically ran the ball the whole drive and only had to go 36 yards.   And there are drives where Bryce could of had a game winning drive if not for a Legette drop vs Philly or a Chubba fumble vs Tampa

      You are actually, genuinely comparing Bryce to Jimmy fuging Pickles? Jimmy accounted for 3 touchdowns in his 10 starts in 2010. In Bryce’s 10 games post benching last year, he accounted for 20 touchdowns. Jimmy threw three touchdowns in 2010. Three. Bryce has thrown 10 touchdowns through 6 games. He is currently on track to throw for 3300 yards, 28 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Wtf are we even talking about anymore. I mean seriously

      Tepper? The guy that directs the coaches towards goals that he set for them… that guy. He is the one.    I don’t think he ever was going to be expelled from class, they had him come in for garbage time maybe the 2nd week he was benched.  I will say this. People said he wasn’t under pressure the last part of the year when he did better, but he was fighting for his career and that’s pressure. And he saved his career too. I don’t reject him for those kinds of things I reject him for the physical things. I have always brought it down to he has slim margin for error and has to be perfect. People with the tool set have a little fatter margin for error. Why make it harder on yourself? Got nothing to do with hating him.  I am no statistician but game that margin thing out a lot and see how that works.
