Can a Efe get some love?

[micnificent28]

I feel his contributions are always under valued. Seems he's always just barely making the roster as the last guy on the bubble, but man he has come a long way. I feel he is arguably the second best pass rusher on the team right now. If  I hear sack on the play and it's not Burns there a pretty good chance it's this guy. Doing it from outside and in.

 It has been a pleasant surprise watching him develope. From a Europe project to full blown panther.. I'm not sure how the other guys who were awarded a Europe player in our division panned our but I wouldn't dout we got the best of them. Cheers to our friend from across the pond.

Seems like he’s really improving.  He didn’t get a lot of playtime with Ron and Company.  I think he’s the only guy from that international program that’s still on a roster and actively playing, could be wrong though.  He’s a good guy so I’d love to see him keep balling, I’ve seen his name a lot this year.  I’d love to re-sign him to a longer contract.  
 

4 more years!  Yes we can!!  OBADA

Loved Obada's game today. Him and Burns kept a smile on my beer guzzling face for most of the day.

You don't sign 28 year old defensive linemen to four year contracts.  That's bad ball.

Listen, he's a great guy and a great story.  Absolutely no argument there.  But even the new staff just barely kept him.  Didn't in fact.  He was technically waived by the team in early September, but we resigned him the next day.

I hope he continues to play well and earns a couple more one year deals.  I'm happy for him that he got to realize his dream.  But let's not overhype a guy who is just barely hanging on.  Playing well, yes, but still barely here.

If I know Hurney like I think I do, there’s a 5 year extension waiting for Efe this offseason. Congratulations, young man, from homeless on the streets to the 4th highest paid defensive end in the game!

Let's see a couple good games in a row first.

He has been terribly inconsistent

All those crap free agent Defensive Linemen you have hyped in pre-season over the years .

now we have one that is contributing .

And you are backing off

Let's see him, and everyone, do it again this coming weekend. I really like Efe and I hope he continues with the team. Even as just a rotational player, he's a good resource to have. And he is getting better coaching now, too.

He moves inside some (passing downs) so he adds some versatility--he is the reason we go with three DTs, 3 Nose tackles, fwiw.   but while we are talking DEs, Haynes has been the most improved, IMO.  YGM is ahead of where Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy were as rookies, btw, and he has been dinged up a bit.

For sure. Solid rotational player now.

Should absolutely be brought back as a depth piece.  He's a restricted free agent so there are several options to make it happen on the cheap.

Def a re-sign, even though he'll probably ask for a Mil but that's fair and we should pay him. 

It would be nice to see that versus a real OL though, they looked clueless. its also amazing seeing man coverage on 3rd down usually that be a soft zone 3 man rush play. 

[micnificent28]

I am in no way saying he's burns or even a consistent starter. However as a rotational guy I dont think you can ask for much more. He comes in makes a play here or there with limited snaps I'm good with that.

Wait i thought Brown was second among rookies with pressures from the tackle position? He's been brining the heat?
