In all honesty, we needed a replacement for Burns when we drafted Burns. His best move was the Spider-man pose that everyone loved. And beyond that, he proved to be a modestly accomplished edge rusher, modestly. 

And he couldn't play the run to save his life.

Sorry, had to throw that in. Loved the guy, but he just never hit the potential we hoped for.

He was a good speed rusher and good on pursuit against the run. He pretty much sucked at everything else. Luckily for him his strength is what gets you paid and teams will overlook the flaws if you can put the QB on his back.

Unless he is Ben Rothlisraper,  how is Mike Green not a top 10 lock? 17 sacks, 100% effort on every play, great measurables. Marshall be damned. You think that guy wouldn't have more than 4 1/2 sacks in 3 years at A&M? Panthers, please stop just looking at the panty parade and look for some production!

We expected about four or five more per season than we got. Like I said, he was decent but not great like we had hoped.

I was fine with the sack numbers if he'd been better setting the edge against the run. But it hurts having a huge money guy who is such a liability in certain key aspects. You want those pass rushers to get teams off the field on 3rd and long but if they're getting it ran down their throats so you struggle to get to 3rd and long it kinda defeats the purpose.

Also, he was long and lean, but strength and mass were lacking. Tough to play him at edge like that. He was a tweener betwixt edge and OLB. Just wasn't the right fit for a team in transition, or for a team trying to transition to fit him.

Grab draft picks that fit who your team is.

I mean, he's 250 pounds. He's not undersized for a 3-4 OLB type and honestly only marginally undersized for a 4-3 weakside DE. it's about mentality. Rushing the QB is the fun part of the job. Setting the edge against the run requires a lot of want to. He just never seemed all that enthusiastic about wanting to do that part of the job.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
