LO is coming off a very serious injury.
LO is rumored to be in the 10M range ????
LO had several splash plays and is a better pass rusher
LO reportedly frustrated the staff with inconsistencies, especially in the run game.
BJ is a much better run stopper.
BJ proved he could be a 3 down DT in the playoffs.
BJ has more interceptions.
I like both but if Larry truly demands 10M after total separation of his foot? Im going with BJ.
I've seen his rumored price tag all over the place . I think the thread with the chart had him around 7mil on another 1 year deal?
If the injury is truly significant, you'd think it would drop his price tag even further than BJ Hill's.
I hadn't heard anything about him frustrating the coaches. If that's the case, then I'd say it's a moot point. Seems this staff is pretty much no nonsense on things like that. From a strength vs weakness standpoint, I'd give Larry an edge. Splash plays are nice. QB sacks are cool. Recovered fumbles in the opponent's backfield is cool, but so are INTs, lol. I agree BJ did it for four weeks. Can he do that for 17-21? He hasn't this far in his career.
If the money is close, the injury is healed, and we can afford one while fixing oline, Ogunjobi would be my pick. I noticed him disrupting a lot of plays up the gut with Reader last year that didn't make the stat sheet. I REALLY liked that duo. BJ played well too, not trying to knock him.
