I'm glad his suspension was over turned
i wasn't.... would have much rather a combination of Gallette/Wilson applying actual pressure on the QB....

hasn't for a while now.
he should be a DT... he's too heavy and slow to play DE....

every elite pass rusher
other elite pass rushers are usually not as heavy, are more athletic, and/or they play standing up in a 3-4 alignment.... he doesn't have the speed to get around the tackle to get pressure, so he basically is reduced to a bull rush (which doesn't work) or a rip or twist move (also, doesn't usually work).... the best we can hope for is a blown assignment by a back in pass protection or a breakdown along the interior line, resulting in less attention being paid to the ends, which would allow him to get upfield without much resistance..... but aside from that, he's a consistent non-factor on passing plays.....

The 5 or so times we actually got pressure today RG3 was just quite simply too damn fast. He simply stepped to the side and out ran all of our D-linemen, and even Jenkins.
Our edge contain was crap yet again today, something we need to do better at facing Newton next week. Newton is athletic, but not nearly as quick as RG3. We could get pressure and touch him, not often granted, but he's so big I don't even know if Jenkins or the blitzers can tackle him right off the bat.
Even with Spags new defense, just looking at our roster we knew we weren't going to instantly start generating QB pressure when we were the worst at it last season. It's not really a surprise, but we certainly need to introduce players who might get QB pressures. Hicks/Galette/Wilson. Unless they simply don't know the playbook at all there really is no reason for them not to be playing a bunch of snaps.
