So in your opinion the Eagles and Vikes DC are better than Wade Phillips?The Falcons did pretty good against the Rams in the playoffs. Eagles DC...Vikes DC...Matt Patricia before becoming a HC...few guys.
LOL, it doesn't make me mad. You were the one that said "Wade Phillips is/was overrated".If it makes you mad, then yes.

Good point having any good DC hasn't and won't always equate to automatically winning. By the way Wade Phillips hasn't always been a head coach and by being a very good DC doesn't mean you team will win or go to a SB every year.The media over hypes him for being a .500 coach with one SB on 10 different teams. Having Suh will help, but having Wade hasn't always equated to automatically winning.

Wade Phillips is a great defensive coach. In his 19 seasons as either a head coach or defensive coordinator, his teams have finished in the top 10 in defense 10 times. They finished in the top five 10 times, the top three six times and led the NFL twice, once in San Diego and once in Denver. That Broncos defense in 2015 also rewarded Phillips with a Super Bowl ring.
Looks like we have another Dream Team scenario. Remember that year when the Eagles won the offseason and everyone was crowning them SB champions while we were still in March. Congratulations Rams fans, I look forward to your SB win in say 7 years.

I just don't see the studs on the edge or the second level yet...Interior DL and backend are covered.
Samson Ebukan.. we drafted him from his pro day while watching Cooper Kupp obviously. Did a good job as a rookie and got a few start when Barwin went down for a few weeks.
I found some pro day Samson Ebukan numbers vs Von Miller combine. Granted pro days are more forgiving than combine. Not saying the combine is the almighty judge of a player or that SE is going to be even close to Von.. but they are an exact mold as far as size and speed, etc. instincts?? Aggressiveness?? IQ? Those are the X factors that the combine cannot tell us
SE pro day:
vertical jump of 39 inches
broad jump of 10'10"
40 time of 4.45 were eye-opening
He bench-pressed 225 pounds 24 times.
7.02 seconds in the 3-cone drill.
Von Miller combine:
40 time -- 4.42 seconds
Bench Press: 21 reps (225 lb)
Vertical Leap: 37.0 inches
Broad Jump: 126 inches
20 Yd Shuttle: 4.06 seconds
Three Cone: 6.70 seconds
60 Yd Shuttle: 11.15 seconds
Fair enough, but you said in your comment #126, "Just pointing out how he's overrated". You said Wade "is overrated", not me?I understand that, but you asked me who I thought was better right now. He's up there. But not the best. Maybe with all these new guys you will be the best this year.
Miller is a rare bird....but at least I know where you expect to see some edge pressure.
SB favorites now
