Wes Fuggin Horton

Recommended Posts

I don't think there is a bigger situational impact player on this team then Wes.  Seems like he bottles up all of his energy for those few plays he's in and truly makes a big impact.  He flew past that Lineman on the McCown sack/fumble.  He's been a part of quite a few strip sacks over the last few years.  I feel he needs way more snaps then CJ by this point in the year.

I see impact plays by CJ every game. You guys must be blind. 

Horton definately has improved over the years.

Please enlighten me.  His stats this year so far:

4 Tackles, 12 assisted, 0 sacks. Snaps so far in 2017: 328

 

Horton as a rotational/situational player:

6 tackles, 4 assisted, 3 sacks. Snaps so far in 2017: 205

CJ doesn't suck, but I think it might be time to push him back to second string/rotational player. 

Horton might just be coming into his own like Super Mario did last year. 

Next week is going to be a helluva test on our defensive line... the NO running attack is scary (can't believe that is an actual thing, but there it is) and Drew Brees is just as accurate as ever. Run contain and pass rushing are both going to be at a premium.

Technically ,  They are both  situational players, now days. If you can't see him keeping containment, and his heavy influence in the rush defense, then this conversation is a waste. 

His veteran leadership is also very important to the team. I know how you guys like to downplay that.

I'm editing to add the fact that Charles Johnson is a big reason why our defensive line plays as well as it does.  He deserves the recognition.

On the Wes strip sack he rotated to the inside after seeing Butler blowing up his man to prevent McCown from stepping forward. CJ was just important in that play as the D line did an outstanding job. 

Wes is now coming into his own and I think a transition period of CJ play time to him should steadily increase before playoffs imo.

no but guess what, DE's arent there to stop the run like DTs are, there are there to disrupt the QB more so then the interior linemen, are they not?  What else is a DE's job?  You have to trust that either Mario or a rotational Peppers to get to the QB aside from a Horton rotation.

Let me ask you this, do you the CJ is as good as he has been in years past?  His last good year he had 8.5 sacks in 2014....hes had 5 sacks in 3 YEARS.   The homerism is strong if you think he's still got 'it'.

no of course not, but that doesnt mean he doesnt make an impact. anyone can copy and paste stats but you have to at least watch some of the game to understand if players on either line make an impact.

Who's to say I don't watch any of the games?  Give me a break, he isn't a productive DE, to say otherwise is asinine.  Or would you prefer for just one of our DE's to be a threat to the QB, thus teams start to double him and still leave CJ 1 on 1 and still not get any pressure to the QB, making us blitz more and leave our secondary with less coverage just to make up for the lack of pressure so the great QBs can pick us apart in our Zone schemes?

Unless I'm completely wrong on the Zone defense mentality of giving our front 4 more time to attack the QB and get to him with pressure...

Man I gotta start watching some of these football games. :eyeroll:

    • I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.
    • The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24. 
    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.
