I think your letting one stat number skew your opinion here. Sheard has been far more successful in creating QB pressure than Walden was last year. Yes Walden had a real nice sack number but basically that was it. Only thing I find problematic with Sheard is not holding the edge but there was another #93 who created some great running lanes himself so we fans are used to it.

It was false that it couldn't be argued.

Walden sucked, I know you loved him, but he still sucked.

And saying our OLB’s got worse is also idiotic. John Simon overrated or not was substantially better than Trent Cole.

It’s time to let your man crush and apologetics of Grigson’s moves go.

I never loved Walden. I don't think I have ever said anything about him being more than average or a solid player.

Was the olber unit worse last year? If it was it wasn't by much.

And Walden didn't suck. Let's be real here

My eyes told me that Walden was a good player 13, 14 and 15. My eyes also told me that Walden sucked in 2016. PFF's grades of Walden also confirm this, as he was ranked 104 out of 109 OLB's in 2016, while receiving passing grades the previous 3 seasons.

Sheard is a more talented player than Walden, but he is very undisciplined. He probably should have been benched here, just like he was in NE.
