Bout time! Goddam it's been a long offseason.

He suffered a bad injury that knocked him off the radar. When healthy he is a top 30 DE.

Great signing for the new 4-3 D.

Hitchens, trading the best player on the defense, signing this guy to a 3 year up to 24 mil deal(which btw Mahomes and Hill will both be resigned and have their contracts begin to hit in that period) , the predicted signing of trash ass Ronald Darby to an expensive deal, the awful draft in 2018 outside of O’daniel

Spags, Watkins, Honey Badger were all good moves however this is being outweighed by the atrocious moves he’s making on the flip side.

Again we are winning and contenders because of what Dorsey did. Veach has shown us nothing that he can be trusted to build this team into a SB champion, and trading your best defensive player and only remaining even good edge pass rusher and signing Hitchens and Okafor to these retard deals is absolutely not a great way to gain that trust.

I guess Nnadi doesn't exist...

Dee Ford our best defender...?

He didn’t even lead the team in sacks

I'm actually looking forward to some baseball right now.

If Dorsey would still be here we would still have Alex Smith at QB......nuff said!

15.5 Sacks and 2 FF is better than 13 sacks and 8 FF (7 of which we recovered)?

Then you factor in his pressures and the gap widens even more. For a forum that disliked Dee Ford because of his run defense, it’s hilarious to turn around and hype Chris Jones, someone who has the exact same issue except from the interior where it’s even more important.

Cause Dorsey didn’t draft Mahomes or anything. Genius analysis.
[Reply]

He's no Dee Ford.

I mean, he was 3rd round pick and started 11 games in his rookie season. That's not nearly as good as being a 1st round pick and starting zero.
[Reply]

We are contenders because Veach had an obsessive man crush on Mahomes.

And while I have no issue with Dorsey in general, his "great defenders" and his defensive coordinator hold their fair share of blame for post season disappointments. Why do the Dorsey cum guzzlers keep ignoring that?
[Reply]

Veach hired spags and he's trying to transition the defense as quickly as possible without hurting our ability to pay mahomes a few years from now. We're not going to completely change our D with a few super expensive superstars. Almost every single contract we can get out of by 2021-2022. We will get probably 6 players for the price of our expensive 3 (technically 2 since berry barely counts anymore) and they're all on contracts that are really easy to get out of.

We didn't bring in guys like okafur and Damien Wilson to be the answer on defense. If we're still paying these guys 3 years from now it's either because they're playing well or because we failed to draft a replacement. If veach does his job well the next few years, few of these guys will even be on our payroll.

Exactly.

So Dorsey wasn’t the GM that had the power and took Mahomes. Should I be attributing all of Veach’s moves to the co-director of player personnel?

And yes, Dorsey fkd up not firing Sutton for years. Veach also added to likely costing us a SB by not replacing Sutton sooner, just like Dorsey. However our roster was talented on defense last year, we just had a fkn idiot at DC and people like to ignore that. Dorsey built this offense and the offense is why we’re contending, Veach has done nothing to help this.

I hope that replacing Sutton with Spags is enough for us to win this year, however I’m not going to simply accept the fact that trading and cutting 3 of the top 4 players on the defense is the correct thing to do in a year we are trying to win a title now.

Doesn’t ask team coaches if he was offsides the previous play?

:-) “was I?”
