I wasn't much impressed with his preseason performances, he had a few glimpses here and there... But against the Giants I remember him constantly going in too high, letting the OL get his hands on him, getting locked up, and he was done for.

I thought he would regress some with this recent injury and time off as well.

There's been many critics of his performance and our FO's decision to trade a 1st for him, but with the way he looked yesterday, is that move looking more justified now?

Honestly, yesterday, besides maybe one play he made in a preseason game was the first time I saw that explosion off the line and quickness. His spin move was very Freeney-esque.

It's a long year, and he's still got to prove it every week, and although it WAS the Redskins, I was impressed with him yesterday. Anyone else? Supporters? Detractors?

Well, the thing that I thought was interesting is that I actually remember him being in on several running downs and tough yardage situation. If I'm not mistaken, I thought I remembered him being in when we had them pinned down at their goal line either on the 1st play or the safety.

pretty sure you're right about that... can't remember which play, I just remember being surprised to see 91 on the field.. I believe it was near the goal line...

He's still not worth a top ten pick in next years draft

It's not going to be a top 10 pick--so no worries there.

Don't give up on this team. Had a nasty starting schedule and team wasn't playing well. Hopefully the team peaks against the Saints in week 10 and carries it on into the remainder of the season.

No matter how good he turns out to be I think I will always have this opinion. It was too much of a risk, really, considering the other needs of the team.

I get why we did it..One area of need was the pass rush..E.brown was one of the best pass rushers in the entire draft...plus with the fact peppers might not be here next year..having E.brown and C.johnson as starters could be something good...we will miss out on some huge talent but the team dosent have that many needs.

Yeah, I understand it as well, but as I was stating in another thread, just because a player might excel in one system or team doesn't mean he will do the same in another. I just think the draft could've been better used for a DT or such.

However, you do make a good point that there are really no other DE's on the team.

it was good to see him play well. I have been pretty hard on the guy and i still don't like the idea of giving up a 1st round pick for a 2nd round selection. However, we have the guy now and at least yesterday he showed promise. I agree that with him and Charles Johnson we could have a pretty good duo next year especially if you pick up another good rusher to throw in the mix.

      He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
