No you dont. He had all those records for years before his final season. Whether career or season he had them all years before his final season in which he played 6 games. -
Williams covered for Moore by saying they were on the wrong page about Moores specific route. Williams could have easily covered for him by saying he messed up. Suggesting only 1 route was ever intended to be a viable target is absurd.

I am going to agree with Linville this time--I think we need to get a veteran edge (We have Jones II, Scourton, and Princely--2 developmental guys and a decent veteran). We don't really think of Jones because he had a hamstring injury weeks 3 and 4 and a back that required surgery Week 6-17. He still managed 10 pressures, and he will be 28. Princely Umanmielen only played in approximately 18-20% of the snaps and he struggled at times. Basically, he was a situational pass rusher. He got 1.5 sacks and 10 pressures. He should improve, but for now, he is what he is. Scourton gives us hope. For a rookie (and thanks to Jones II's injuries, he was given more PT), he had 8 sacks--and held the edge. He played at a first-round draft pick level. He has the potential to become "that guy" in 2026. We lose Wonnum, who played nearly 700 snaps and amassed 3 whole sacks. For a person raised a Gamecock, I would not be upset if we purged our roster of all South Carolina alumni. However, I see it this way: Wonnum was decent holding the edge, something Patrick Jones II and Scourton have demonstrated at a high level. He is a liability, if you ask me. Jones had 7 sacks one season in Minnesota and is known for his inside rushing ability--not what you would call a speed rusher. I think Princely was a bit disappointing, but he was a bit raw. Out of college, they described him as being a bit predictable. I see no reason he will not improve in 2026 and become a situational pass rusher. Basically, with Scourton and Princely expected to continue to develop and Jones II returning from injury, I think we need another veteran (if we can get a good one) to give us balance and depth. A third developmental player is not ideal. Draft: OT, LB, WR, OL depth, S. Free Agency: Edge, possibly a WR; re-sign Mays, Cuhran, BC (??), and Nijman. Let walk: Wonnum, Scott, Dowdle. I see about $20m per year after signing the OL depth. Spend it on a veteran edge. Players like Reddick (Tampa), Bosa (Buffalo), Khalil Mack (LAC) could be available on a one or two year deal in the $15m range. We could splurge here, but I think a veteran situational pass rusher (depending on Jones II's back) is all we need while our 2 young guns develop.
