cut Anderson and Salley?

sounds like a good idea, although i hate the fact that anderson has performed well so far this year, atleast better than johnson, and he could be cut b/c of johnson's ridiculous contract.

it would seem with the 3-4 being such a hot item for defensive schemes, and so many teams switching this year, there would be an oppotunity for us to trade some of our outstanding LB depth for some DT help from these teams. throw in a decent pick and johnson to a team needing a LB in one of these new 3-4 defenses and we may be able to land someone decent instead of a castaway.

Leman was good, but he was among the third stringers, which means he went against third string offensive linemen. The sad truth is Leman doesn't fit what we're doing on defense. He is slower the every single one of our defensive ends. Think about that

Leman played the entire game..including the 1st string..and Leman was around the ball the entire night.

i'm not sure you know what you are talking about.

leman has been working with the first team. he was in most of the game. he is fast and he swarms to the ball. what exactly doesn't fit unless you are just convinced that he was slow, he doesn't swarm to the ball, and wasn't in the game very much?

then trade him. Leman has done more in 1 preseason game than Johnson did all year last year.

Ummm, we would still take a cap hit. Thus it would still end up us losing cap room. Unless they manage to shore up some extra $$$ to counter act his bonus money, then he is pretty much on the roster.

I think it would be a mistake to cut Anderson. He is a productive backup and is effective as a pass rush specialist.

Anderson is by no means a rush specialist. Blitzing late because your back never released, then coming in untouched, doesn't make you a rush guy.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
