Meanwhile, Norwell's not even over-paid. Sure he was the #1 free agent and paid like it, but he's worth that contract because he was legitimately the #1 interior OL in the league. There's no bloating there.

He attributes the change in performance to the schedule, not to Dareus.

Lol ... so, before we had Dareus, when we gave up 256 rushing yards to the Jets backup RBs (163 to Bilal Powell and 93 to Elijah McGuire) they are basically stating the level of difficulty was very high.

I truly believe the acquisition of Dareus was the difference in at least 1 or more victories, which ultimately lead us to winning the Division and hosting a playoff game.  That, in itself, resulted in a solid return on investment.
