He has never been a real linebacker before aside from 3-4 standup edge. He is a DE. Carrying 6 DE’s isn’t gonna happen. 5 is very possible.

MWil23 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 OBO is injury prone and has almost zero production in his career in any capacity. I’m not relying on him for anything and I don’t think that’s an exaggeration. If he does something then great but I sincerely doubt he will.

He had one good half a season in his entire career and it was against the worst division in the league. I’ll be surprised if he’s back next year. He’s getting very overrated.

LETSGOBROWNIES Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I think Obo has the potential to be a very solid DPR provided he can stay healthy. I don’t think he’s an every down end though and he’s not been durable. His productivity last season was pretty good though. He definitely wouldn’t be the first player to peak after his first few years in the league and be much better on his second contract than his first.

Za’Darius Smith did exactly that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he IS healthy, then I don't see any reason why Schwartz won't find ways to get all of his best guys on the field at the same time. If it works, I would love to see it.

Hey, If he is a slight upgrade from Genard Avery I'm good with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooks1957 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 i guess the connection between DHop and Deshaun won't die until DHop signs somewhere. After stewing on this for a couple of weeks, I am now in the camp of let's pass on DHop. My reasons are: Injury History Age What we would have to give him $$ to sign And maybe, the most important - we simply don't NEED him. AB has done a really solid job in rebuilding the WR room. Long gone are the days of depending on the Dwayne Bowe's and Kenny Britt's of the world. Bottom line - you believed in the kids enough to draft them - don't stunt their development now by placing another high priced vet in front of them on the depth chart. We will never know how good the kids can be unless we play them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I don’t think I care either way, but the “growth” for young offensive players montra went out the window when we traded 3 firsts and more and guaranteed Watson a quarter of a billion dollars.

I think 2023 DPJ and 2023 DHop could be very comparable. Different trajectories at different stages of their careers. Moore is primed to take on a larger role. Tillman should be capable of filling the #4 role. Goodwin is a proven #5/deep threat. I just think it’s a matter of diminishing returns based on cost. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterCallSaul Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 If we get D-Hop, we might as well trade DPJ away. It doesn’t seem smart for us to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
