Great trade. Talented guy. Upgrade over this years Crawley. Coming from a losing/troubled organization. Paired with a former college teammate. I thought the secondary was struggling more from a coaching/scheme aspect, but the bottom line is it was not getting the job done. At 5-1 with a 39 year old QB and a brutal schedule moving forward, I like it.

Good point. I bet Drew is a happy camper today.

A pass rush will help this kid succeed.

It will if we quit dropping our best pass rushers (e.g. Cam, Oak) into coverage...

For me all eyes are clearly now on Dennis Allen. He has 5 1st rounders on this defense. He also brought in his guys (Coleman/Klein/Davis) via Free Agency and now add in Eli Apple. There is too much talent not to become a top 10-15 defense. We can continue to break down player by player but its time for results as unit, starting with the DC.

Dennis Allen must put his guys in place to be successful. No excuses.

Sometimes a fresh start like this is what folks need. Add that to the fact he is going to a winning organization that has sights on a Super Bowl and clearly thinks he can add to that... then add the fact it’s soon to be a contract year for the guy, he has every reason to play is ass off now and be rewarded for it. I love the move because it didn’t cost much and has a ton of upside.

I can’t stand the play calls... only rushing 2 or 3 at times, absolutely idiotic. However maybe adding Apple will give Allen some confidence to rush 4+ every play
