    Well, damn, to my way of thinking losing Taylor and Porter was subtracting at least a modicum of pressure, the Draft did not produce a passrushing De until McCoy in the 7th round and the "magic coordinator" never appealed to me, Burgess re-upping with the Pats means one less proven passrusher is off of the market.

    Koa Misi had 10 sacks in 3 seasons folks.

    Keep in mind, he played and started at multiple positions along the D-line, including D-Tackle.

    Well, what I don't want to see is Cam Wake as the sole passrushing threat being double teamed and there goes the passrush, Vontae and Smith were toasted deep last season and not that was with a decent passrush.

    To me, Burgess was one of the 3 best passrushers left on the market right along with A Thomas and Wally Ogunleye who is coming back from a broken leg.

    And Toss Greg Ellis unto that list as well, he had a decent 2009 campaign per pro football focus.

    I mean seriously do you think C Anderson or Q Moses will keep Oline coaches up late at night?
