I Expect A Big Game From CJ Sunday.

[The Lobo]

I hope so. He’s one of my all timers    On this team.

lol

[Daddy_Uncle]

our defensive line has played much better since he has been gone. Of course he will come in and take snaps from the guy that has been getting all the strip sacks, Horton

[Daddy_Uncle]

I'm more excited for TD to be back. A rested and pissed off TD.. good luck matty meltdown

Said the same thing. Defense is better without him

I hope he has a big game against Atlanta but I think he will have a bigger impact in the New Orleans game if we end up playing them.  

CJ is still pretty good against the run and we missed him in the last N.O. game.   I think he'll be a huge difference for us in Game 3 against the Saints if we play them again.

Yeah I know. It was more of a rhetorical question. Pretty sure that back is limiting him from doing much of anything.

CJ hasn't had a good season, and I'm not sure he will be back next year, but he is still an addition this time of year.

CJ was his best during the 2015 playoffs after an injury-filled and not overly productive season.  He will be motivated and we will get his best, whatever that is, at this point.

I like the potential of Bryan Cox, Jr., but given the suspect nature of our secondary, we need all the pass rush help we can have.  CJ, Pep, Addison, Horton, and potentially Cox to go along with the DT's and our LB's with TD back give us one of the best Front 7's going into the playoffs.

We need our defense to play like a top 5 unit IMHO to be able to go far in the playoffs.

Very true. I'd already forgotten how well CJ played in 2015 post-season. Yes, let's hope for a repeat.

So, quick question. Having seen Cox get more snaps, how are folks feeling about DLine next year. Obviously there's Hall in the wings too.  But with Addison, Horton and Cox, I'm feeling we have a promising group, even if we lose Pep and CJ. Would want to add a free agent, and perhaps draft another for depth, but Cox has shown good potential in my opinion.

Horton has really stepped up this year. Don't know why it took him getting cut 3-4 times before the switch came on for him, but I'll take it. He's having a career year and making us forget all about CJ.

[Jeremy Igo]

Horton has out performed him and it hasn't been close. 

 

He should not be starting.

Yeah, Ron is kind of sentimental and he knows how big the Falcons game is for CJ. I'd expect CJ to get the start, but probably Horton gets many more snaps.
