I'm still sticking by Hardy's side.

I've been a huge fan of 'The Kraken' since he came here. He is looking at his 3rd year where it's time to show a boom or bust for a draftee. Given that he was taken in the 6th round, it's low risk, high reward type material.

I began this thread after reading numerous threads and posts giving Hardy crap for sack numbers and run deficiencies. When will everyone learn that sacks aren't the only stat available for pass rushers?

So, in search of his stats I came across this article. Yes, I know a ton of you hate an inferior site. Regardless, it's two games towards the end of the season...it shows the versatility of Hardy and the misconception that most will derive from simple stats.

I thought it was a good read...

He was a gunner on punt teams under fox but I don't remember if he did it last year

I thought I did see him in ST. Well he does a lot for the team. Personally I think he's doing great. I wouldn't mind another DE though. Keep him fresh with CJ as well.

I also believe he will have an amazing year next year, once we fix that interior line.

For all the crap people have talked about his play against the run, they wouldn't be saying much if we had DTs that were worth a crap/occupy blockers/don't get pancaked. He's made several great plays against the run that I remember, but it's hard to do that when you get guards double teaming you with tackles after they pancake a 300 lb. DT.

People also fail to realize how many passes he deflected (IIRC he either led the league for DL or was 2nd). He is gonna be a good one.

    • It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.
    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.  
    • For our pics and trades tonight and tmrw.  Remember, Aho was a 2nd rounder and Slavin was a 4th rounder.
