Quote:And to be honest in any other cirumstance i would probably share your same sentiments. But this defense is just void of a lot of talent espcially talent that can get after the qb and push the pocket. Based on the OPs info he does just that. Coupled with the ridiculous amount of money we have (80 million according to over the cap) every single player who can either force turnovers or push the pocket should be in play.



I get your argument, the money may not make sense. My argument is that the money doesn't matter or shouldnt in our situation.

We need pass rush, but he doesn't deliver any noticeable increase from what we have. We have guys that can generate 4 to 7 sacks from 3 and 5 tech.


I get that people see how much money we have and want to overspend, and we can. But we have to overspend intelligently. People see the huge amounts of money and know the cap is going to continue to rocket, but you have to spend proportionately still or you will turn an enviable position into a poor one pretty quickly. Every player on your roster is going to make a few extra million when their contracts are up. Most players are still on old contracts. We can afford to overspend - just not by 40% on an unneeded luxury player.
