PFF Reaction Blog: Bell gave up half of QB disruptions

The problem is we still overly rely on our DE's for pressure. Star isn't ( yet) good at it and niether is cole. Edwards and Short show flashes but aren't consistent. Hardy and Johnson are very good, but neither are at that elite level where they can consistently take over a game ,always be accountable for and beat double teams. Hopefully Star and Short keep making major strides and give us strong consistent interior pressure.

 

Isn't johnson being paid elite money? And hardy I'm sure is gonna be gunning for elite money next year.

They're elite DEs.  The Saints just worked us.  They game planned the hell out of us and did a great job nullifying our strengths and attacking our weaknesses.

Only half?

I couldn't believe he wasn't the lowest rated player of the week.  By far.  Terrifying to imagine how bad those guys played who were rated worse than him.

At the time he was young, always healthy , and a hard worker who was coming off a stastically elite year. Add to the fact that we had to out bid ATL and I don't hate the signing. But yeah since then his actual play, though very good, hasn't reached the heights of his contract.

Given Hardy's unique persona, I have no idea what he will demand. Could see him taking less or a whole lot more.
