There have been several reports in the last season or two, most notably the PFT one (I believe it was PFT anyway) that had him ranked among the more efficient pass rushers in the league, he simply wasn't sent on the blitz that often. His technique isn't great, but in a 2 gap system he can let the front 3 lockup the blockers and rely on his athleticism; he'd be a more effective rusher here than he was in SF by a lot, IMO.

Having a guy like that across from Hali - someone that could blitz effectively and will thus require the defense's attention but who is also very effective in space - would've been a fantastic addition to the entire defense. It would've made everyone more effective in their respective roles.

His was a bad miss.

He's been a poor pass rusher to this point in his career, and PFF claims to the contrary mean nothing to me, since that site is garbage.

Unless Pioli had signed him.

Then I'm betting you'd be right on board with them.

The site or Pioli's nuts? Ambiguous antecedent there.

Well, given that I didn't want him on the Patriots, I feel pretty comfortable in saying that it has nothing to do with who signed him. I think he'd have been a better fit for KC than NE, because KC has Hali to rush the passer, but I don't think he's been a particularly good player.

I'm sorry to have interrupted your mindless free agency bleating, though. Really, get back to it, because jumping madly into free agency is how teams win Super Bowls.
