Recommended Posts

This is going to be fun to watch this season...in our first four games:

Mario Addison

5.5 Sacks (On pace for 22 sacks a quarter of the way through the season.  Not happening but yeah lol)

Brian Burns

2.5 Sacks (Showing some pep; I like what I've seen)

9 QB hits

Christian Miller

2 Sacks (He was minimized with Bruce back but is my favorite rookie)

Shaq Thompson

2 Sacks

Bruce Irvin

1 Sack

Dontari Poe

1 Sack

Vernon "Da Fuq did that come from?" Butler

1 Sack

Honestly, I think Irvin is in a great spot here as well.  Miller got a dose of game time early and showed what he's about.  Now he can slowly work his way into things. 

Burns will quickly emerge as a star.  I liken him to Matt Judon but with even more upside given his get off speed.

Such a deep crew.

McCoy forced at least one of those sacks yesterday. You don't grade interior defensive linemen on sacks anyways. 

I did see mccoy getting good pressure at times but you do grade guys like mccoy and short on sacks. You dont grade guys like poe and lotulelei on sacks.

I’d like to think this too but he’s been underwhelming in the sacks department. 
 

10 sack kk might be gone but even if he doesn’t get that production he’s still a good player who can make impact plays.

Yeah that's what I'm saying.  Short's presence will help everyone out even if he isn't getting sacks.

And holy crap, now that I think about it, our front seven is so damn talented that I forgot we had Kyle Love!  It's only a matter of time before he starts making plays too, he always does. 

Irvin, Burns, Addison, Miller, Haynes, McCoy, Short, Love, Thompson, Poe, Kuechly... a ridiculous front seven.  Even Jermaine Carter has been playing very well this year.

I could really tell that Bruce Irvin was providing some pass rushing juice yesterday.  He is going to be a big addition once he gets up and running at 100% again.  He was all over the place yesterday.

    • I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan 
    • Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.
    • I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
