Is Bryan Bresee a Liability despite Sacks?

You can normally find good run suffers who don't generate much pressure in the mid rounds and as cheaper Free Agents. Go and find a 320lb plus space blocker who can anchor the line next to him, then rotate him in and out and keep him fresh

We're likely going to have a coaching overhaul this off season and I hope we can get some premium position coaches to attempt to get better production from the guys we've drafted first. It's a bit early to cut bait here. If anything, give him all the snaps he can take. We don't really have nothing to play for and we should get him as much experience as possible. That game tape will be very helpful for the next sets of coaches that will be brought in.

I don't think it would be impossible that some team could take a shallow look at the stats and trade a late 1st or early 2nd round pick for Bresee. I read that Woody Johnson bases roster decisions on his kids Madden exploits and overrules his front office. If we could get a pick in the first half of the second round for Bresee, I would trade him. If we can't, I agree, he is still worth trying to coach up.

I dont think putting another 1 dimensional run stuffer with the opposite skill set next to Bresee will solve all our problems. One problem that could create is if that run stuffer ever missed time we have the worst run defense in the league. And if Bresee doesn't miss time, its not clear the run defense can ever be elite with a one dimensional player covering for another.
