Expectations: If the Allen Trade can produce 1/2 what the Olsen Trade has...

I don't expect Allen to be an every down lineman.  Let's face it this isn't the same guy that was wrecking poo in Minnesota.

Don't need him to be. Ealy has been very good against run. And Horton has decent against the run also, but neither one is getting there on the pass rush. Need another situational guy like Addison to rush the passer. 

This will also light a fire under the DEs bc 1 of them could potentially be gone (most likely Horton) when CJ is back

6-8 sacks in 13 games here would be solid. If he somehow gets double digits this would be one of Gettleman's best moves yet, which would be astounding since he's had some damn good moves. But whether or not it shows up in the sack column doesn't matter much. If he's pressuring the QBs consistently that'll be enough for me. Honestly would not be surprised at all to see him get 2 or more sacks on Jamey next week. The Bucs line is THAT bad, and I'm sure Allen will have some fire in his heart and he'll be ready to get back in a 4-3 for the first time in a while.

At least you understand what's coming.  I just hope people aren't getting their hopes up and expecting Allen to be like he was in his prime.  Hopefully he can excel at 3rd down's with us.  He's still probably better at getting to the passer than anybody we've got not named Johnson.

People seriously fugin overstate the age of players...Brady is fugin 38 and Peppers can still ball at 35...Our own Smitty just had a monster game at 36.

Medication is better than it was 10-15 years ago, Doctors/Surgeries are better than they were 10-15 years ago, HGH and other poo you have yet to hear about is better than before it existed 15 years ago....just STAHP it.

 

RBs tend to decline after 30 but it doesn't make them useless and scheme/location(team) matters a hell of a lot more than people think about or pay attention to.

I would hope this would be a little like when Kevin Greene came back to us for his second stint with the team.  Best as a situational rusher that can help some of these young guys like Addison.  If he gets 7+ sacks this year I would be ecstatic, but just please light a fire Jared!  Luke McCown was awful comfy back there Sunday.

Here's some context about Jared's age

Kevin Greene was 34 his first year with us in '96 and got 14.5 sacks. His next stint with us in '98-'99 he got 15 sacks and then 12 sacks before retiring at age 37. Granted that was in a 3-4 defense, but the Panthers subbed Greene out a lot on running downs. We'll do the same with Allen to keep him fresh so that his age, like Kevin Greene's, isn't a handicap.

    • Ask around on here to see if someone is selling…ie a PSL Owner!
    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
    • really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.
