As far as Bunkley having restructured; I'm glad, because it does signal that they have belief in the guy and that he'll probably be around for few more years. I do agree that last season was a disappointment, but it's really hard to judge any defensive player harshly based on just last season - doesn't help players like Ellis who've sucked almost their entire contract. I think Bunkley will fit the 3-4 much better and hopefully his monster upper body strength will finally be on show. |

Re: Brodrick Bunkley Restructures Contract
We need to improve every position in the secondary. That won't happen in a year. We can improve pass rush in a year though. One person could make the difference.

Re: Brodrick Bunkley Restructures Contract
He didn't seem to stand out to me but he did his job well enough to get a thumbs up from Danno. He graded well and that is what really matters. results....we don't see that on defense. Anyway, I'm glad we've got him and the FO likes him apparently.

Thats why I think he needs to be in a 2 man rotation. Most teams already do that though. Here are PFF grades for our front line (2012 so grain of salt) Defensive Ends (out of 109) Jordan 66 Smith 108 Galette 19 Wilson 33 Defensive Tackles (out of 148) Bunkley 29 Ellis 118 Akiem Hicks 29 Johnson 42 |

Re: Brodrick Bunkley Restructures Contract
You can't blame Bunk's for his 2012 performance...or anyone when they're playing alongside Ellis.

Re: Brodrick Bunkley Restructures Contract
I'm gettin' a little concerned that Ellis' contract hasn't reductured him right out the door. You think they're going to try to put in a Bunk- Ellis NT rotation? I'm thinking The Bunk is going to do right by us as NT. Ellis? Not so much.
