Come on people...How many "block buster" trades has Ted done?
...and therein lies the point.

I'd be ecstatic as hell if we got the guy at a bargain price like that.It's a possibility according to Bob McGinn of the MJS. If we gave up a 5th or less, I'd be OK with it. My guess is that Ted sees some pass-rushing ability from him and sees him as a potential answer to the OLB spot opposite Clay. It's an intriguing option.

Kevin Greene would work wonders with this guy.
I knew he was overhyped and overrated going into that draft, as he wasn't a top-5 type of guy. He and AJ Hawk were ILBers taken too high.
But I think Curry could transition to a solid OLB on our team.
I'd dismiss this 100% quickly, but if McGinn said what he said, there's a chance.
I don't think it's as bad as people are making it out to be. 31st in the league isn't good either but I think it is going to improve as they adjust and adapt to being without Jenkins and Collins.
You were expecting pass rush from Collins? The adjustment?? Yeah 31st isn't good.
Chuck TestaNope.
I think what she is saying is that Collins in coverage forced quarterbacks to hold the ball slightly longer which did in fact lead to more sacks, but I don't want to put words in Kitten's mouth; she is perfectly capable of explaining herself. If this is what she is saying I would have to agree -- our less effective coverage has led to less pressure on QB's and fewer sacks. Kitten is exactly right -- it is not 11 individuals, it is a team, a unit.
You are really making a case for our pass defense rather than pass rush. In your original statement you said didn't believe our pass rush was that bad. That was the point I was making. Btw, pass rush benefits the linebackers and DB's more than the other way around. Also, I must again point out that I didn't see any difference when Collins was playing. When we get an effective pass rush we won't have to worry about Peprah so much.
