Perspective is a hell of a thing. 

Riddick was nothing but a rental.  Somewhere you missed that memo. 

Our front offense wasn't going to pay him when he was never a corner stone of this defense. 

Burns is so much more than just a pass rusher, but that all many want to focus on as he's going to get fair market value for his position,  production,  and leadership on this team. 

Burns is literally just a pass rusher. You can site his leadership, but his main on field contribution is pass rushing. 

I know Reddick was a one year rental, but lets not lie about why he wasnt retained. He is on a 3 year 45m contract and we are going to give Burns something like 5 years 140m.

You obviously don't value Burns as the team does.

Nobody anywhere in this thread said they didn’t want him. They simply explained why it was unrealistic we could have retained him. Stop with the dramatics. 

I’ll say it. You can’t bookend a defense with Reddick and Burns. Both of those guys get washed out too easy. You can never have enough good pass rushers, but you have to be able to stop the run. We could not consistently set the edge and maintain gap integrity with those two playing at the same time, it failed.

Switching to the other side of the headline, does anyone know what the "problem" with Houston is?

I mean his sack totals alone suggests he was an elite pass rusher, yet the contacts he was given and the fact that a lot of teams were willing to move on from him tells a different story. And I have never heard him talked about as real elite.

Has he been on anyone's secondary team so you know more?

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
