He can generate inside pressure at an astounding rate and is a force against the run.

They were 28th in 2017 run defense. Heck of an inside lineman. Insane amount of money for that spot.


Not sure if you know this, but NFL teams do not care about run defense. 7 of the worst 9 Run defenses made the playoffs last year. More teams made the playoffs that finished 16-32 than 1-15 in run defense.

I’m using Y/A as my measure of run defense.


ETA: I shouldn’t say they “don’t care” but it’s the last thing they’re trying to accomplish.

They’re in win now mode but if they don’t win shite in 3 years they’ll have to blow it up with all those contracts and Goff still on a rookie deal

Re-read that thread and get back to me.

Tl;Dr - I've been advocating the whole time they don't overpay him. Let him walk.


Me, u and maybe 2 other guys were saying “don’t pay him” while everyone else just blindly said pay him whatever he wants.

It was clear that he wanted to be above $20mm, now it’s funny to hear people say they’ll regret it.

They're paying just under 40M for their DT position alone.
