I would be perfectly happy if he's even 75% of what he used to be but my expectations are low. 75% might be a HoFer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make the playoffs and hope the pressure doesn’t stink when we need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, big upgrade over Lawson for example I also like what I saw from Kingsley in limited opportunities last year, he seems to be progressing nicely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got 50+ last year without Oliver as an All Pro & if Carter produces as much as Floyd did, he is probably not winninh DROY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrMaxPower Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Groot has 10's of millions of dollars at stake. Career year incoming. AJE has been consistent - 6ish sacks at 35ish% snaps. He should push double digits in a larger snap share. Miller, we'll see. Boom or bust. He'll either play fairly well or be largely useless. Over.

However, I don't think McDermott allows him a free ride. Could we add Javon Solomon and make it 30 sacks for the four of them. He could be a difference maker.

I can see AJE being in your 8-10 range and the three players listed still being under 20 combined. Come on Gun?....unless he gets 80% of the snaps, he's not touching 10 sacks. McDermott doesn't trust him enough with his rotation to increase his snaps. Oh and just for statistical comparison Kelsay had 15 sacks his first 4 full seasons. AJ had 15.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ had 15.5 If they are not going to increase his snaps then signing him to a new deal was a mistake. AJE can rush the passer. It is everything else he struggles with. Maybe that means his snaps don't go up but I don't know who else plays? It will be very apparent very quickly that they can't roll Von out there IMO. Kelsay never could rush the passer and was also starting and playing a very high snap count. I don't think the two are at all analogous as players. I repeat I think AJE will lead the team in sacks this year. Reasons being he will have to play more because there is nobody else and they will have to simplify what they ask from him and allow him to just pin his ears back and rush.

Yes, it would make zero sense to re-sign him and play him <40% of the time. Also, I believe Kelsay was mostly a strong-side LDE, so bad comparison.

Freddie's Dead Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Imma go under. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I've soured on AJE and Groot as sack artists. Von is still a big ?, so we have to wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
