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.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
