Would Hyder have done so well if he was the #1 guy and all the pass protections were slid his way?

Lol. Its not like we are talking Solomon Thomas. AA is like John Paxon. He can bury some shots because of focus on Pippen and Jordan. Let's not treat him like he's Jed Buehler lol.

I know hindsight is 20/20 but we really screwed up by going with this bum over paying Buckner. We at one time had a defensive line of Ford, AA, Buckner and Bosa. Now we have a defensive line full of question marks. Is Ford done? Was AA a one year wonder making his money off one on one match ups? Kinlaw flashed, will he continue to improve? How are Kinlaw's knees? Will Bosa be better, worse or the same after his injury? If we paid Buckner at least we would know for certain we got one stud that is gonna be ready to go game 1 2021.
We sign DeFo, we don't have Kittle locked up. Would you feel comfortable needing to pay Kittle with the new lower cap this year? How about Warner? It was never AA or DeFo. Do you seriously think it was a 'well we can keep one or the other' situation on equal footing? Where would you have found the 22 million dolla difference between last year and this year DeFo made that AA didn't? I wanted to keep DeFo, he broke the bank over his first 2 years though. Good for him though and got us a 1st in return so hopefully Kinlaw keeps eating squirrels.
Bingo.
We didn't screw up signing AA. We screwed up trading for Dee Ford.
Both were screw ups. Resigning AA was cool they just drastically overpaid him based off one good season during his contract year. The guy is nowhere near the player his contract would tell us he is.
Thats something that can certainly be said. This whole 'we chose AA over DeFo' thing has become the weakest hot take on the zone. Been repeated adnaseum to boot.

This may surprise people but Armstead was 3rd in the league this season for highest run stop win rate among edge defenders at 32%.

He's 290 lbs edge defender. He should be stopping the run.
But that's not what he's getting paid to do at $17m avg per yr.

He's actually a DT, but had to play edge since we had no starting DEs

True but I think he was double teamed alot this season due to not having Bosa and Ford. If you are an Oline and look and see that there is no Nick Bosa or Dee Ford, Who are you going to focus on? I also think that's why Hyder had such a good season. Nobody paid much attention to him. Armstead got all the attention.

Originally posted by lamontb:We rotated a lot and and with Ford being hurt AA rotated to LDE a lot. But when everyone is healthy he's our LDT

He played a ton of DE during his 10 sack season. So much so he wanted to be paid as DE and not a DT. Buck and DJ held down the interior and AA was DE in base downs. He"d bump inside when Ford was heslthy on obvious passing downs

if we can't find another edge then AA again, will not play at the best suited position for him
