[News] Courtney Upshaw Aiming For More Sacks

[Mystigo_Dragon]

well he said that last year too. Talk is cheap (even though I do hope he produces) And think about it...as long as we keep producing guys that can put up numbers why fish out a lot of money? Since I could remember we've had pretty much no name OLBs come in and become studs only to leave and be replaced by more studs. I'd say since the Adalius Thomas days. probably even before him. Granted the luck has to run out at some point, but it really hasn't fizzled out for at least a decade.

 

 

He wasn't put in a position last year as they ceded more favorable positions and downs to Purnell McPhee, but Courtney held his own as an "edge-setter" and did get some appreciable pressure on QBs too!

I don't disagree. In fact, I think he is a great player for us which doesn't seem to be the consensus among fans. I'm simply trying to state two things; one is that the numbers might not be there but the production is, and two is if the numbers do come this year I don't see us having too much of a problem replacing him if he wants a max contract simply because we seem to do it every year at that position

True,... but one of these times, we're going to let a perennial Pro-bowler and Defensive Player of the Year walk away for playing cheap!
