I hate them too. With a bile-vomiting hatred, actually, since I grew up in Minnesota.
Anyway. They already had a great defensive line and the team couldn't do shat with is, so I don't worry much about this trade. He will probably self-destruct anyway...
Erasmus James, another DE BUST in MN has been released. The new guy will be no different. For some reason they just can't coach ends in MN. Allen will be nothing more than an over paid above average end who'll they will be looking to replace in 2 or 3 years. I'm not really worried about it.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned that JA will have a clean slate as soon as preseason starts. All the suspentins will be gone and he will start over at strike one. So as long as his teammates keep drivin he's fine. So keep on dreamin that he won't be playin and i'll keep laughin at ya for it.
Come on Swarm, Erasmus James has been hurt ever single year in the league, he hasnt even played. Nothing to do with coaching DEs. Also its a little different with our DE busts when they are all rookies an unproven. Allen is already proved and has been in the league 4 years. I think its safe to say that he is past the bust part. And to the comments about our pass defense saying its padded because teams dont even try to run. That is the dumbest comment anyone can say. Its not because our secondary sucks, in fact talent wise I think they are solid. Its because teams know they cant run against us. Stop trying to flip it to make sense in the way you want to say it cause thats not the case. We got passed on so much because teams would try and rush and just couldnt, soon everyone caught on and just relied on the pass. So yeah when you get passed on 50 more times in a season more than any other team in the league of course their going to have more yards against us. I guarantee that our pass defense will be top 20 this year with a dominant pass rush to rely on. Our corners will show how misleading those stats were last year.
