I think Amini at LT and stonewalling Kony says more about Kony than it does Amini.

I hated the Kony pick, and he was complete ass last year.  Yeah, he got better towards the end of the season and he was just a rookie... but he just looked completely overwhelmed.  I'm not really expecting much out of him while just hoping for the best.

he was not complete ass last year. And for the record he made some plays against Seattle in the playoffs. I rewatched it last week. And he jumped out a few times.

Kony was a PFWA and SI All-Rookie selection.  Who should we have taken at 60?

i'm honestly shocked by some of the comments here about Kony and by well-respected posters. He flashed last year. Beating Joe Thomas for the sack with his first step quickness. Containing Marshawn in the playoffs (two notable, impressive stops). He was impressive in spurts for a rook.

Kony is not Greg Hardy and probably never will be. He doesn't have that type of athleticism. But he can be a CJesque type of player for us. And that would kick major ass.

Give the dude time. I know we desperately want another 10+ sack rusher on the line but we can be ok with a healthy rotation of Addison/Kony/Alexander/Horton.

I'm not too worried about Ealy. He's smart and came on strong at the end of the year. Some guys struggle in camp and some guys flourish. Ealy is a young DE who is still growing, and we've taken that for granted given the talent that surrounds him. My faith is still strong.

Same college and everything... if only the scouts had been watching the offensive film.

Started all 16 games at RT for the seahawks. 

But, you know, hindsight and such

For the record, Britt allowed 41 QB hurries last season.  That was the 2nd most in the NFL.  I'm just going to assume that Bryon Bell allowed the most.

I'd still rather have Kony, even in hindsight.  Especially after getting Remmers and Williams how we did and most especially after seeing the bust city picks of Kouandjio, Sankey, SJB, Moses, et al littered throughout the 2nd/3rd.

dude had a first round grade from almost all evaluators. DEs rarely come into the league and straight up dominate.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.

      It is goofy how some people hate Bryce so much that they're flat out lying to try and remain entitled to their pessimism. It's insanity. Most fans are realists and eagerly awaiting the season to see if we get pre- or post-benching Bryce to start the season and how much he is able to do with some young and developing weapons. Many of us understand that these young guys are going to have growing pains on the job as well as the new defense, but the fans with all of the excuses for why Bryce can't be successful are pounding the no excuses drum. Personally, I'd prefer the Keep Pounding drum.
