After Thuney signed with KC I thought we probably never had a chance. He got a good contract from a yearly superbowl contender. But after hearing his comments afterwards he seemed like he would've really wanted to play here our offer just wasn't as good.
We got Reiff for a much better deal and he gave up less sacks and had less penalties than Thuney and Orlando Brown last year.
I still don't understand this preference either. Our D sucked terribly bad last year especially on the inside Ogunjobi, Hendrickson,
Reiff, Spain and Carman is much better than just Thuney and Carman IMO. I hate getting run on and I hate having no 3-tech
inside pass rusher like last season. If we can stop the run, get after the passer, finish on Defense it will help everyone and Reiff
protects Burrow more than even Thuney would. We have good pass protectors at Guard in Spain, XSF and Carman.
Once again, it is all preference in the players people want. I would rather build the team up as a whole then going all out on 1 or
2 players.
