"The defense is bad so get rid of the good player" makes no sense. There isn't a single player in NFL history - or two - who fix what is wrong with this defense.
No idea who would be interested at this stage but there would be quite a bit of interest. A haul would be a couple of first round picks and a third, along with a starting player. Unlikely we could get that much for him, but who knows. Dangle him out there and see what the offers are.
its not a zero sum argument, no one is saying Micah isnt good, but when he is a pass rush specialist and you cant stop teams from running the ball for 270 yards maybe you need to invest in stopping the run first...or dont Jerry I mean we have been building the same defense for 30 years and its worked out very well for us....
Along with a starting player, preferably on the defense or an RB. His stock is likely to go down some if he has a down year and the defense continues to look as bad as it has. Last year at this time he had 4 sacks and 8 QB hits. He only has one sack this season and 6 QB hits. He hasn’t been around the QB as much. He had 5 QB hits in the opener and only one in the last two games. He’s headed for a down year.
Sacrificing the pass defense to better defend the run is stupid in 2024.
Tell that to the next team thats rushes for over 250 yards against us, can we get the ref to step in and remind them its a passing league? Maybe you have not noticed but the run defense has been a problem in alot of big loses including playoffs in this 28 year run....wonder what the Saints thought about how the passing game goes when they can run the ball (against us) and when they cant (the Eagles).....
The Saints killed Dallas through the air - same as GB, SF, and Buffalo last year. It's easy to be a good run team when you get a lead.
so you think the Saints and Ravens passsed on us to set up the run? Hmm really seemed like they ran the ball and used PA of the run to pass on us...
That’s where most of his sacks are coming from. It’s the games that we’re dominating in. He’s not getting them against contending teams in critical situations. He’s not changing games. His playoff numbers are pretty troubling when you consider his four game total of only one sack and 4 QB hits. We’re 1-3 in those games and our defense has been the biggest issue. He had 5 QB hits in the opener against a Cleveland team that we were jumping all over. In the games against quality teams the last two weeks, ZERO sacks and only one QB hit. He’s not a leader like Ray Lewis, who could fire their defense up.
No they passed the ball to get a lead - it is what always happens with this defense and then everyone cries about the run game.
IF you can get enough you can really rebuild.
