If Denver wanted Epenesa and a pick for Surtain you wouldn’t do it? We were playing some DT we had never heard of at DE yesterday because we were out of DE’s. Von played a ton early (more than hoped for or expected), but then I didn’t see him later. What was his snap count 1st half vs second half? What, EXACTLY, is the Rousseau situation? No, unless you are tanking (and that ain’t us), I keep the guys who are being productive. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, unless you are tanking (and that ain’t us), I keep the guys who are being productive. JMO Von is on preseason snap mode. He’ll be ramped up each week. Obviously if Rousseau is out a while you can’t make a trade. This is all depending on the health situation at edge. AJ is our 4th DE. We currently don’t have a starting WLB or CB1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Only for a corner. But even then probably not. Let him walk and get a late round comp pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan has shown promise. Epenesa’s value won’t be any higher. He’s playing good football. The other option is extending him to pair with Rousseau in the future. With the injuries Epenesa could bring back a solid player to help at CB or LB. For Patrick Surtain ? yes And I do like AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 If anything, he deserves an extension because next year is Von’s last year for sure and we need youth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If AJ isn’t viewed as a starting edge in the league then obviously a trade wouldn’t happen.

newcam2012 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 1 hour ago, Alphadawg7 said: The only way they trade AJE is if they already decided he isn't a long term plans kind of player. And I doubt they have made that decision after he is having a breakout through these injury opportunities. Him and Groot could anchor our Edge rush a long time if he keeps playing at this level and shows its not just some little short lived hot streak. I think you consider trading him if the compensation is right and if he's going to be expensive to keep. Lots of unknowns. He's playing lights out and by far the best he's ever played.

Southern_Bills Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Never trade a productive edge rusher, we all know all too well how quickly injury depletes a position group. We are trying to win a SB, not be the team in the best position to win every "off-season" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurlyBurly51 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 No. We need a young dude to pair with Groot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxum Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 1 hour ago, Mikie2times said: He had a pick 6 in one game and Dominated a full game as much as any DE we have seen since probably Bruce. On top of it we waited years for him to flash. We can’t trade him right now. He’s an impact player and you can’t have enough of those when you’re making a Super Bowl push. AJE needs to increase his ability on running downs but that is something which he can work on. During first 2 years his weight changed up and down per instructions of training staff but it seems to be right now. This is a player who was a multi-sport athlete (A.J. on the varsity team for four seasons that all ended in the state playoffs) who walked into Iowa and got a position on team.

He would be on a different defense which takes time to adjust to and rather than having 1st round picks next two years. The Alabama product is adept at playing man coverage, as he possesses the length and speed to stay in front of the best wide receivers. We do have an QB whose strength is man-to-man but have not been able to put Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
