MKnight82 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 He'll be a backup off the bench as long as our starters stay healthy. Solid depth, I doubt it was for an expensive contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugashane Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 As long as it is depth you got a good guy. Can't be relied on as a starter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I remember when he was a hot free agent signing for the Bears. 6, 4, 4 sack totals each season probably wasn't what they were looking for. Depth he'd be solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigsooie5 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Was always a big fan of McKnee. Just can’t stay healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTTRDynasty Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I'm definitely a fan of this move. I'd rather rely on McPhee staying healthy than Galette and McPhee is much better against the run. And I think McPhee will be a better mentor to Ryan Anderson as they are similar players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can keep McPhee's snap count low he'll be a good signing for Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFan13 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Depending on the contract im gonna be pissed at the Falcons for letting him slip away from us if it's for cheap. We for sure could have used him to replace Clayborne as the bigger DE/DT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 He'll be really really good in a rotational role like he was used in Baltimore the year he broke out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We for sure could have used him to replace Clayborne as the bigger DE/DT. I don't really think he would be a good fit as a down lineman anyhow. Even as a situational player. What makes him effective is how he uses his quick burst off the snap to beat his lineman and with his hand on the ground he would lose some of that, and he's too limited to make up for it in other ways.

BleedTheClock Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I convinced my really ditzy girlfriend back in the day that there was a player in the NFL named Pernell McPissface. Every time I see his name mentioned I chuckle at how dumb this girl was. jk ladies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikee Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 McPhee was an absolute beast his first half of a season in Chicago. Set the edge with authority and was bull rushing tackles into oblivion. Then the knee issues cropped back up. It was the reason Baltimore never extended him and it turned out to be the smart move. McPhee was okay at times in 2016 when he was healthy enough to play but the elite explosion was gone. He dropped weight last season to try and take some pressure off but it didn't add any speed and it sapped him of some power. He did stay on the field more though. As a rotational edge player he is probably okay for another year or two, but be prepared for him to be out at any given time and just be prepared that he no longer possesses any special traits and that whatever ability he does still have could be gone at the drop of a hat.
