Looks like we are going to be running pass rushers out there in droves....

Yeah this is a good move that can only help. Also frees up a need in the draft

Unfortunately they don't have any draft picks.

It sounds like we signed him. Happy to have him. But curious.
What was the reason for the almost falling off a cliff loss of production?
Everything I look at talking about it from the Cowboys side seems to allude to mysterious 'problems' that it never gets deeper into. Just indicating that those problems (off field? on field? in the locker room? what?) led to him being used less.
It always makes me nervous when we think that guys with problems in one place won't have the same problems here.
But at this point, if he can help our pass rush I almost wouldn't care.
Confused on this because it makes no sense. Usually big problems tend to leak, seeing nothing on that front. But the giant drop in production has to come from somewhere.
I would prefer they use him a situational pass rusher and maybe only every other game in the event this was just his endurance being the factor. If we use him sparingly, even with less tread on the tires, he should still have a bit left for the playoffs (if we make them).

For one thing, sacks come in bunches anyway. A 16 sack guy doesn't get 1 sack in every game that season.TwistedHusky":9an996cw said:Not sure why this is not being brought up....but Aldon Smith was a terror for the first 3-4 games of the season, but then his production tailed off significantly.
