He's just not that much of a difference-maker. I'll go back to the Chiefs game. As soon as he went out we had no one who could stop Mahomes from scrambling and dicing us up. Him being out one quarter took a W to an L. That to me is a quantifiable difference. I also think the team sack stats with him in versus out being 1.5 higher per game is also a quantifiable difference. I agree though that Autry matters more. rns90, and Mythos27 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a clown show, queue the clown car with the 15 clowns stuffed into the VW beetle, I can hear the music playing now. This is like 2015 except with a better roster. 6 minutes ago, IsntLifeFunny said: I'll go back to the Chiefs game.

Yeah, if they just contained Mahomes better. They'll need a starting level DE/OLB this offseason even with Landry back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 So Vrabel unexpectedly came into the presser and gave an update on the roster for like the first time ever. So I know where I am now leaning on who is going to have final say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched he came up to the podium updated the roster then left then as he was leaving Wyattt asked him about Franco Harris and he came back to the podium to answer that question. If he stays he will have more power he will not be reporting to the new GM. oldschool 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's certainly quantifiable and directly attributable to him. Do you think it's irreplaceable though? In my view, simply getting Landry back takes care of that specific problem.

Definitely replaceable. Even if we get 80% of it at a fraction of the price it allows better cap use. Mythos27, and tgo 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not as easy to replace Dupree as many would like it to be. Now if they can carve up his 18M and do it by committee, that would be a win. Easier said then done. There is a reason teams overpay for Edge rushers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like I said even if it's only 80% I think it's worth it to claw that cap space back. Ctm posted how we probably go into the off-season after cuts with only 35 under contract and the worst line in football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I didn't like the Dupree signing but some here are totally delusional about what he brings to the table when healthy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we could get 80% out of a midtier FA and rotation. charleytolar 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
