The problem is we still overly rely on our DE's for pressure. Star isn't ( yet) good at it and niether is cole. Edwards and Short show flashes but aren't consistent. Hardy and Johnson are very good, but neither are at that elite level where they can consistently take over a game ,always be accountable for and beat double teams. Hopefully Star and Short keep making major strides and give us strong consistent interior pressure.

 

Isn't johnson being paid elite money? And hardy I'm sure is gonna be gunning for elite money next year.

At the time he was young, always healthy , and a hard worker who was coming off a stastically elite year. Add to the fact that we had to out bid ATL and I don't hate the signing. But yeah since then his actual play, though very good, hasn't reached the heights of his contract.

Given Hardy's unique persona, I have no idea what he will demand. Could see him taking less or a whole lot more.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
