He always was a beast. Just not a sack artist. Working in that system in SF has really showcased how good he was. Remember we used him as an end, now he is playing more a tackle/3-4 end

Because he was playing a DE in a 4-3, Switching to a DE/DT in a 3-4 was the best move he could have ever made.

who was our defensive coordinators during his time here ? didnt we have like 3-5 of them in that time ? no consistency in the system we ran

They also played Brooks where he was less effective at MLB. Their poor scheming and our great scouting, gave us two impact players.

if he plays like this for four more years, then he would be a serious candidate for the hall of fame.

We get J. Smith and A. Brooks, they get N. Clements, M. Lawson, and T. Mays.

Justin played mostly DT in a 4-3 concept yesterday... Did a lot of dirty work... double teamed all day. Same deal for Ray Mac.

BYoung is one of my favorite players, but he wasn't as dominant as Smith was last year. He was unblockable, even in double teaming situations.

I wouldn't call him a loser, but like Gore and Willis, he's definitly lost a step since the Saints playoff game...
