He's pretty solid against the run as well. Don't think he's utilized just as a pure pass rusher


I guess his play just doesn't show up in the stat sheet.

I could fap to this. Provided what picks we'd have to give up.




We can just resign Kroy and give them him.
That will work...right?


Would be 100% fine if we used a 2nd though. But I doubt he would come that cheap.

He has the most sacks on the best defense in the NFL, both last year and the year before. So yeah, I'd say so.


That is surprising.

I had to google who he was as well and I follow the game pretty closely.

I feel like it is either going to be blown under the rug, or it will be a 4th or 5th round pick.

However, we are probably going to double dip for pass rusher in the first and 2nd anyways. If we can get by with just giving up a 2nd, we can have a top rookie pass rusher along with Bennett

We need to trade for Bennett and draft Vic Beasley (thats who I want in the draft).

Last offseason we just kinda hoped our terrible Offensive and Defensive lines would get better and we didn't really do anything. It didn't work. We need to make some big moves.

The Seattle future of Seahawks pass rusher Michael Bennett came into question on Tuesday.

Although one report suggested Bennett was angling for a new contract and a trade to Atlanta, a Seahawks source confirmed to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport that the pass rusher has not asked to be dealt, and if so it would not be fricking Atlanta.

Now that the topic has changed to production...in a 16 game season is that really that good?


He was tied for 36th most sacks in the NFL last year, tied for 29th in 2013 I believe.

Less than 40 total tackles each year as well.

I had to look him up too. Wasn't even sure it was football initially. He's also 29 so if the falcons really want to break the bank n him I'd highly encourage it.

This is off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure he was in the top 2 or 3 in pressures %.

knowing shite about football or football players?...big difference.

and it's not like I don't know who he is, just don't know his name right away. A better description would have been #72 DE from Seattle, but yeah let's start a thread for all the Trent Cole's of the world.
