Patriots Have Released DE Kony Ealy - Claimed By NYJ

[rmoneyg35]

Let's get two things straight:

 

 

1. You can argue that Kony was cut because he sucked but the more accurate reason was because he didn't fit or learn the system. 

 

2. Calling Kony a bust isn't fair and hears why. He has only played three season in the NFL at a position that can take a few years to fully develop. Compare him to Charles Johnson who didn't have double digit sacks until his 4th season and Greg Hardy his 3rd.

 

Im not saying Kony will somehow become an all star in season 4 but he is only 25 years old and could still improve. He has always had to share time in a rotation with other defensive ends on our team which takes away snaps and lowers stats. He has more sacks than Charles Johnson did in his three seasons and only 3 less than Hardy. I wouldn't complain if we did resign him assuming Rivera wants 5 Ends on the roster. Peppers and Johnson may not have the Stamia for major snaps and Addison has always been a rotational player. Hall is a rookie who has made major mistakes in preseason. Keeping 5 defensive ends could be a smart decision. At best case Ealy reaches his potential or at minimum provides a solid player in the rotation that could give you 3-5 sacks.

Both Ealy and Robinson were projected in tds 2 or 3 so not sure where you are going with that argument. We had a need and had just drafted a first rd receiver. Hindsight is wonderful.

We had a need for 2 WR's and projected/hindsight "blah blah blah". 

Go bring up the Early drafted thread, I said right at the time it was a mistake to take him over Robinson. So save your ignorant excuses for someone else.

As an Auburn alum of long standing, I will honestly admit that Heath Evans is a total douche canoe.

Thank god we have a general manager who has foresight and can pull off moves like this. Oh wait, that's right our owner is trash and we aren't that fortunate anymore.

Makes stupid decisions half the time. He's force fed the ball more-so than Cam force feeding KB in '14 and '16.

I personally don't get the hype. If you look at just his tape alone, he doesn't look that special. I get why people look at his stats and pop their eyes open wide, but very few times do I see him act as a top tier slot receiver that he's supposed to be.

 

Looks like he's trying to make a play with hardly time left on the clock and his team down by a ton. Feels like that's pretty obvious, no?

he should be better than Horton though right?

He should be. Ealy has potential but he isn't living up to it

Down 24-0 with 47 seconds left in the half.  Landry was 5th in the league last year in YAC yards, given the situation you want to see him try and make something happen.

Yeah - this. Duh.

While obviously the time dictates a lot, this is a trait that comes all too often. If he just runs it straight through on most of his routes, he'd actually have better production and imo would give me a better perspective on him.

They had so many screens to Landry that went nowhere.

"Most of his routes"? Come on bro....

Didn't Heath Evans say Ealy would have been the consensus #1 pick in the draft this year? lol

Yeah, I think he meant consensus first round pick (which is also incorrect.)

Landry's overrated, but the other guys are fair points.

For us, he would've been worth it had we won SB50. But then again, he was never good long term, so I'd say he's a bust.

But Gettleman was the one who first realized that and fleeced Bellicheck. Very few people have ever done that.

Wrong again 

The Browns fleeced Belichick twice they got a 5th for Mingo and then traded a third for Jaime Collins whose their best defensive player, the cards also got Chandler Jones for Johnathan Cooper. Belichick has been getting fleeced long before Gettleidiot. But it won't matter anyways cause they can just plug in some no name still sleep walk to 11 wins

 

Ans just cause Cian Fahey says something doesn't mean is true, get off his jock
