Bruce Irvin talks poo

[Khyber53]

In any losing group there's always one idiot who shouts about what he did.

Mr. Irvin, there's the door, I'm sure you've cashed all those checks. May someone else write the next ones.

Just goes to show the blood letting was needed. Too many players passing the blame game. 

That’s what happens when your coach does the same.

The best thing Irvin gave us is the possibility of a 5th or 6th round comp pick and it only cost us 6mil

Is that talking poo? Looks more like talking nonsense.

I don't think it is talking poo.   Just poor wording. 

The fact they lead the league in sacks while the season sucked....merely highlights how great the pass rush was at times. Teams generally acquire sacks because their opponent is trailing and playing catch up football.

He is just saying that, more often than not, they weren’t in a position to pin their ears back and really unleash.

I was just about to say that after thinking about it, he could've been implying we'd have more sacks if we weren't always losing 10-0 after the first 6-7 minutes.

Not like it matters though, thanks for the memories Bruce

BI has zero room to talk.  Our poor results last season were 75% on the defense.  A defense for which BI started most of the games he was healthy for.

If our 2019 defense was merely average, we would have been 8-8 last year.

yeah, I mean the fact the front 7 couldn't stop the run is why we sucked so hard.   Even w/ the backups at QB we were forced to play a middle of the road run defense would have likely lead to a slightly above .500 season.

16 interceptions through 8 games.

Pile on Irvin all you want, can't win like that in the NFL.

Even if Bruce was implying the sack numbers could have been higher, 2nd isn't bad.  We were 1st most of the year anyway.  That said, 5, 7 or 10 more team sacks wouldn't have improved upon our horrible run defense.  Barely missing out on being the #1 in one statistical category is irrelevant when you are fending off dead last in another key defensive area.

Bruce is just matching the fanbase. It's hilarious actually

as bad as our offense was, our defense was historically bad at stopping the run.  and given our reliance on young QBs, it was particularly painful.  I don't think you can really put the blame on either unit.  both sucked when it mattered most.  the defense was unable to hold leads when we had them, was unable to keep the score close, our o was unable to hold onto the ball or build leads, was unable to punch it on at the goal line in pivotal situations.  just painful.

the pass rush was great, sure, but it came at a clear cost in the running game.

These were the players Hurney built last year’s roster with.  And he’s in charge of the “rebuild.”
