    He'll have a career day when he can get lined up against a guy that was PS the week before.

    Didn’t even know he had a snap today. JSN had 8 catches for 167 yards and 2TDs. I believe he’s on pace to break the receiving yards record albeit with an extra game.

    I'm trying to figure this kid out. How does a guy go from having some PHENOMENAL games to completely disappearing entirely. Not just disappearing for stretches but entire games and/or stretches of games? Blows my mind. I don't know why they just don't move him to LB and call it a day. He's too small to stay on the line.

    Yeah he’s a strange case…he can go from 4 sacks in a game to zero tackles in the next game…can’t remember seeing a player like that

    But he sure looks like a great situational pass rusher type role guy…

    We need a starting EDGE player in the draft in a big way…our biggest need outside of QB, on par with WR and even more important than CB and S, which we also need.

    Ya he seems to compile all his sacks in a few games, not sure, if he needs the right situation to be effective, but its looking that way

    Hopefully it's different if we are ever playing with a lead several games in a row. It's hard to evaluate these guys when we are always playing from behind at the end of games when those guys can just pin their ears back.

    McDonald is what he is. A situational streaky pass rusher that gets around 10 sacks a year. Nothing wrong with that unless you expect him to play a larger roll. You need good mid tier guys to be successful.
