Payne leads all rookie interior defenders in snaps (738), tackles (51), defensive stops (32), TFLs (6), sacks (5), pressures (26), passes defended (3) and fumble recoveries (1). He is a shoo-in to make the All-Rookie Team.
Stacy McGee- McGee was out there for 19 snaps, but I wouldn’t blame you if you missed him because he most certainly did not make his presence known this past Saturday. He failed to record a single traditional stat of any kind for the third time in his seven games this year.
The veteran lineman was unable to generate any pressure for the sixth time in 2018. He has only been able to muster 1 pressure (a hurry) in his last eight games.
McGee’s season-worst 40.5 PFF grade was the second-worst rating on the defense and among all interior defenders who played 15 or more snaps in Week 16.
Deans “mcboy” who was a solution . He is a higher priced Ziggy hood
The walk-year outside backer hasn’t done much in the sack department in 2018 (4), but he has racked up career-high totals in snaps (780), pressures (50), tackles (51) and stops (26).
This is funny as hell, he wants to see their character, really? in exchange for what, his own lack of the same? OK, I get it and I suspect so does the rest of this team that's measuring the character of this organization and how it operates with respect to building a winning team.
So, you felt as if something had to be done about your pro-bowl alternative safety D.J Swearinger and that thing was to release him. Well, how incredibly stupid was that? Worse, what message did the entire NFL world get from such a move concerning the value that you and your bosses have concerning the best interest of your own team over an ego driven PR bruise?
You wanted him off of the team and that's fine, but clearly releasing him was doubly hurtful when suspending him, then trading for value would have yielded something, a draft pick, or perhaps another player that could have been beneficial to the team, instead of the nothing burger that releasing him got you!
