Unfortunately but also probably best for the long term outlook as it's only going to give more snaps to Scourton and Princely to hopefully expedite their growth

They cannot play every down. They still need rotational help. Hope there is someone on the practice squad.

Well sure, but now instead of them getting some backup snaps to Jones, now someone else will be getting the backup snaps to them more.

Not wishing injuries on our players, but if we're going to get them, it's always better to have them at the positions that we have young promising players on the roster to absorb the majority of those snaps.

Thats a given. But the point remains that an already struggling pass rush group just lost their best rusher, if you can call him that at this point.

With a name like Boogie he's got to be a real NFLer, right?!?!?  He was a 2nd rounder and played at WF.

Drafted in 2021, he's still "young" for the NFL

It seems Panthers like him over DJ Johnson. 

He was a 4-3 end for the bills and giants traded for him last year. Maybe he's a better OLB?

Yeah I didn’t see the point of that. 

I think the main point was saving $$$ and they were able to roll over the cash saving next year too.

*I also think they didn't forsee drafting 2 edges and didn't want lazy clowney to rub off on them. Either one can coast by on shear talent like clowney has for 10 years...

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
