I don't know about ascending. Like you said he was great last year if he maintains that through the contract I will be happy. Like Detoxing said next year there may not be as many dramatic plays but its his over all play that is important. To me his position now is as important as a cb in pass defense.

2016 will probably be his best year of his career.

I don't know how you ascend from the year he had. Literally carried this team to wins from the safety position because well you know why.

If he can replicate that hats off to him, he will still be the best safety in the league but it's hard to take over games on a consistent basis when you are playing a defensive position.. Only a handful of a guys I've seen currently that can do it, Watt, Houston, Von, Berry and they go so hard that they almost look like they get burnt out from doing too much. Got to see Houston do it for 1 game last year before his body gave out. He was the best player in that stadium and it wasn't close. And then that was it lol. It's so hard to carry a game if you're not a QB.

Gona be nice to have an actual run stuffer in this defense along the DL.

8 million sure isn't "premium" in today's NFL. Stop living in the 90s.

Draft a ****ing QB then. This move doesn't prevent that. The run D was ****ing garbage last year and he's one of the best in the league at stopping the run. Great signing.

You pay for good talent. He's a good player dude. Eagles fans miss him already. Better than all the list save William's and Dareus anyway.

There's no way he's the 2nd best 3-4 DT in football.

#32 run D

He's third on that list. Watch more games, son.

3.7 YPC his first two years before that clown Chip ruined the defense

Looks like Dorsey got tired of teams running all over his defense.
Great Move.

How is it a great move when it is a one year deal? You still have a poor offense.

So I've been thinking and I actually have some hope that Logan's shortcomings as a player can be smoothed out in the transition back to a 3-4. For one very big reason.

Britt Reid.

Dorsey's got a great staff and a decent eye for talent, but there's just no way you're going to say to my face that he's THIS good at nosing around in garbage and finding talent that plays ABOVE their expectations like this.

RNR was a 6th round pick who was cut and then brought back. Kendall Reyes and Jarvis Jones were trash heap signings. If Reyes and Jones especially had the kind of potential to play like they did for us on their old teams, they never would have been available like this.

There's talent evaluation, but then there's coaching and finding ways that guys can be useful. I think Britt Reid has demonstrated in his time on this staff that he knows just about every way to make defensive linemen have the most success that they possibly can on this team.

He's why the only reason I'm pissed about this signing is because Dorsey didn't dive deeper into the dumpster to find a replacement and then supplement the addition with a draft pick (perhaps with a guy like Saccopoo's boy Lotululei in the 3rd round).

What the hell should they have done? You get what you can get when you can get it. You don't wait to upgrade a position just because you haven't upgraded the other. That literally makes no sense.

You're exactly right. They should not look to upgrade any other areas until we are the number 1 offense in the league.
