Bruce Irvin could realistically happen

Person says we have $2 mil in cap space available (somehow). Since the circlejerk for Wakanda has cooled off and Irvin looking to play for a team in contention and the Rams not having anymore room for DE, there's a good chance we sign him.

I'm just not sure he's good enough to justify yet another shakeup on our defense. The pass rush has been revving up the last few games, really since the Redskins game it's showed a lot more juice. I think that momentum will continue as guys continue to get comfortable in their rush lanes.

Irvin isn't a DE. Perhaps he could be used to fill in on obvious pass rush downs but he would need to be signed for well below what he would likely ask for. He didn't fit in with the Raiders 4-3 base scheme so he was released. He won't fit in here either.

They didn't drop him because he was playing lights out. They also weren't able to trade him in their recent fire sale.

Our D-line is building momentum and gelling with the players on hand.

We don't need him and he'd be a refurbishment project to bring him into our 4-3 system.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      Wilks is a nobody in the grand scheme of things.  He is right back out of the NFL, exactly where he was before Carolina dragged him back to the NFL.  I don't see what he has to be pissed or salty about. He got a shot with 2 teams and was just a average coach as he has always been.  He is a lesser Fox/Rivera

      Chris Long: Bryce Young Went Toe To Toe With Patrick Mahomes

      The way BY must play quarterback has a much higher degree of difficulty.  Coupled with his physical limitations his margin for error is small.    The guy evading the blitz and dropping a dime deep over double coverage is more exciting then a wobbling ball thrown into the blitz with good enough placement that gets 6 yards on a 3rd and 5.  It's been beat to death that he will never be the first guy.  He was the second guy vs the Chiefs.    The second guy is harder to do because it's mostly mental:  reading, reacting and processing the correct solution that the defense provided within a second or two.    It's harder to see on film, it's harder to evaluate.  That's why I think there's a divergence between fans yelling "noodle armed middle schooler!!" and analysts going "hold up, let's not write him off yet"    I personally need to see the Chiefs game be the start of growth before getting hopeful.  Ideally would like to see 1-2 300yd multi td games.  Then I'd expect the entire off season to fix his footwork.  With his physical limitations that footwork needs to be damn near perfect.  I would still bring in competition at the QB spot even in that scenario.
