The Ogbah extension has been absolutely horrible thus far. Is he injured? The guy is invisible out there.

When can we get out of the horrible and huge contract Chris Grier just gave him? We won't be able to win a Superbowl if we keep signing mediocre talent to big extensions.

It has happened with Ogbah, Jesse Davis, Jakeem Grant, DeVante Parker, and pretty much everyone else not name Xavier Howard.

Our pass rush is non existent and I think he is partially to blame. I know that Byron Jones is injured, so we can't run the cover 0 but that shouldn't be the only reason we can get a sack. When we aren't playing cover 0 our pass rush seems like one of the worst in the league.

Do you research before you post?
 
He's a good player when healthy. With Ogbah out, not enough players have stepped up in the pass rush.
 
Is it not true? We are 22nd in sacks, but we have a top 10 player in pass rush win rate. But that is due to Wilkins who is a DT and shouldn't be our pass rush specialist. Anyone here think we have a great pass rushers?

Phillips is improving each week. He's really starting to figure out his bend after beating the tackle. Felt he was getting too far up field early in the year.

Ogbah was slowed by injury. He's the last guy we have to worry about and still a good signing IMO.
 
Ogbah has been playing injured most of the season. Relax. In addition with Byron Jones out, we can't blitz as much. Blitzing helps everyone on the DL get more pressures, sacks, and hurries. Believe it or not, Byron Jones was a big part of this, as he is a good press coverage corner. We had a system last year that we are having challenges duplicating this year with all the injuries. Brandon Jones on IR won't be helping this storyline get better anytime soon...
 
  1. Hindsight is always 20/20
  2. We don't know yet if he will contribute more when he is healthy
  3. I really don't get the obsession with money. The cap is relatively soft now considering how quickly it rises.

The obsession with money is that better players could have been or could be acquired with that salary cap allotment. I will agree that if he can return to the form of the last 2 years then the money wont be a complete waste but I dont believe he will. I think he took advantage of his contract year to get paid. Hopefully I am wrong.

Very frustrating the amount of cap room we’re dedicating to Ogbah, Byron Jones, Chase Edmonds, Ced Wilson, and Gesicki this season.

Only one on that list that I would keep is Gesicki but coaches need to utilize him more
