His weight is a non-issue. He said in an interview that everyone thinks he lost weight because he was wearing LB pads which are smaller than DE pads. He is 255lb the same weight he has been for seven seasons.

I have always wanted this guy, he was an absolute terror for the Vikings for years at his natural position of DE, I think his best years are still ahead of him. Absolute steal from Chicago. This will go down as the best move ever by G-Man.

 

 

Good lord man, slow this train down.

DG has already done some pretty big things for this franchise.

Allen is a HOFer but at 33 his best days are definitely behind him. That said, he'll provide that much needed veteran/leadership presence while CJ is gone, and he'll be good for at least 8.5 sacks (I hope). Jared still has something in the tank. Let's hope so anyways because Ealy hasn't fully developed and is making boneheaded decisions.

Sometimes getting on a good Defense will do wonders for a little while...just hoping that we can get 8 or 10 solid games out of him.

 

Had to edit that.....very poorly written sentence by me.

      Bryce Young #34 on Chris Simms' top 40 list

      Oh it's nothing elite, but we played without Horn last year.  Gilly playing at 80% is better than any CB2 we have had in a moment.  Luvu was fun, but he was out of position in Evero's defense.  Jewell is a tackling machine and has had over 100 in 3 of his last 4 with his highest being at Denver with Evero.  Pass Rushing and CBs are strong red flags but they also were last year.  On paper it's the same or maybe slightly better than last year and Evero had them keeping us in some games.  Hell our 2 wins were due to the defense and the kicking game.

      I mean best case scenario is horn plays 15ish games, brown and clowney replicate last years stats, we sign gilmore and he reverts back to form after his injury but even then we still lack pass rush and our linebackers are dogshit.  And thats best case.  If horn goes down and if clowney starts showing his age then it could get ugly.  We are going to miss the tenacity of luvu.

      Well you have year 2 of the new scheme so several players should be more comfortable.   Vs last year DL we added Robinson to play DE giving Brown a solid presence on the other side, plus he is familiar with Evero (I don't like Shy at NT but he was there last year too)  LB- Clowney and Wonnum are more complete/probably better than Burns and YGM, Jewell and Shaq are better than Luvu and whatever random guy from the streets we had playing last and again Jewell is familiar with Evero CB- This is a big red flag but vs last year we kept Hill at slot, we lost Henderson and replaced him with Jackson which seems like a wash to me.  If we can sign Gilly I will consider this upgraded but as of now it's a weakness and a wash Safety- Fuller replaces Bell as an upgrade who is also familiar with Evero.  I think we signed another vet in Scott as depth   Depth is still an issue no doubt but it looks slightly better on paper than last year IMO...
