Ravens sign Justin Houston

[NewEra]

1 year 4M

 

i figured he’d be a Raven or Chief.  Huge addition for Baltimore imo.  

[Augie]

Smart low attention additions of key parts like that can make your season. 

[John from Riverside]

Just so glad we addressed this in our draft.....we know exactly who our pass rusher's are going to be for the forseeable future......all on cost controlled contracts.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Get younger not older on DL. I like the mix of youth and experience that Beane has put together. Didn't like most of the moves last year including Epenesa pick. But having him drop weight and then adding two young pass rushers should be a big improvement. 

[dpberr]

I know it's not true but I feel he's been in the league since the 90s.

I’m glad we addressed it.  Now we just have to hope they can produce.  It’s a Lombardi or bust season and we only have one edge rusher that was decent in the NFL last season (Hughes).  Obada did his work inside. Addison was awful imo.  Epenesa looked good vs Bobby Hart today, but so did I.  We need Rousseau and/or Basham to be positive pass rushers this season. 

 

Houston has been a beast in the nfl for over a decade and was very good last season as well.  1 year- 4M.  I’d take him over Addison every day of the week

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

Too bad he didn't sign with the Texans.

Maybe if this was 2014…

Is this the final domino to fall for Ertz be traded to Bills?

Maybe the process is going to pay off big this year?

Our entire defense HAS to be better if we are to beat KC (& Tampa). I mean, we had a real gotta go back to the drawing board moment vs. KC. Fans were not stupid calling for Leslie's head. If it ain't Leslie maybe it is the talent? We have 12 DL that could conceivably make our roster but how many  will disrupt KC's plans? We had the fantastic 2017 draft, we got JA, We did excellent getting Poyer & Hyde, we did well in free agency overall, but it is the draft after 2017 not counting Allen that are the questions. Or, another way of looking at it is the problem is the defense (which was largely drafted).

Tremaine, Ed, AJ, Groot And Boogie will determine if the Bills are a Super Team or not. They can play so-so all year and the O and STs will keep them winnng but in the playoffs you need balance and you need defense.

(I think Tremaine is a big key. He has the talent to really be a great player. He needs the drive, he has got to recognize the plays, no where everyone is going, step into those passing lanes and get his hands on some balls. He should be a zone nightmare for QBs but he is not.)

Pretty sure he was a 2nd rder the Marcel year. Man what an amazing draft class, and we managed to be one of the few teams to walk out without a stud. Thank God those years are gone

Think whatever you like.  He is an effective pass rusher, smart football player qnd good locker room presence that could’ve helped our young kids. He would’ve led our team in sacks the last 4 years. He’s twice the player Addison is
 

Last 4 years -

9.5 sacks

9.0 sacks

11 sacks

8 sacks

There is a chance Addison doesnt even make this team

No question we had to get younger and cheaper on the DLine. Now, if only we can get a couple to really pan out as studs we will be in great shape. Experienced DE’s in free agency get those pricey premium contracts.

Addison has more sacks over the last 5 years than Houston, just saying.

I'd LOVE to see Bobby Hart run over you a hundred times since you claim you looked good vs him.

Don't confuse irrational ranters with facts.   They mentally end up in same state as @NewEra facing off with Bobby Hart 100 times.

Bobby Hart will be waived in 3..2..1

[Brennan Huff]

He’s still very productive at age 32. This is a great signing for them

[Blank Stare]

Similarly, while not a pass rusher like Houston, actually a little surprised KJ Wright is still a FA. Our depth is decent at LB, but the guy seems to make plays every Hawks game I watch.
