The cold wire has a great graphic on Lane Johnsons' protection rate. For some reason can't open it. He's far and away the best, Mailatta pretty up there as well. When I watch Mailatta tho, he gets beat with speed at times.

Traded for Miami edge Philips

Cost us a 3rd rounder

It's our own pick as well, not the earlier one we got from the Jets for Reddick. Miami's also paying $6.04 of Phillips' salary, we're paying just $500,000 - nice going HR!

For what?

In place of Calcaterra and/or Granson. Having a TE threesome of Goedert, Ertz, and Fred Johnson would be solid.

Quinn should be fired for that: leaving in a less than healthy Jayden Daniels in a blowout to get injured again.

Thought for the same price essentially Jermaine Johnson was the better trade.

Phillips has the experience under Fangio previously I guess should make his transition as seamlessly as possible though.

They were down big, punted on their previous possession instead of at least getting the practice of a 4th down play - then leave their starting QB in? Doesn't make sense.

I like the Phillips trade, even if it's just a 1/2 season rental. Want to see him play under Vic and stay healthy.

The CB moves - meh. Stephon Gilmore's 36, don't know why he's still a FA.

Looks my assessment of Jayden Daniels is turning out to be exactly spot on.

Was he the better option though? Both guys are 26 years old both have had injuries

Johnson 1 sack this year and only 11 sacks in his career

Philips 3 sacks this season 26 sacks in his career and as you stated has played for Vic familiar with the system.

Be interesting to see this defense now after the bye week

New pass rusher is huge and he gets to be paired with Carter who taking most the attention.

Gettin Jaire up to speed as CB2 so we can keep Dejean in the slot is a must as well. I know Jaire hasn’t been quite the same with the injuries but doesn’t need to be a shutdown CB just a good #2

Yeah, I hope we're not just adding another mediocre body to the pile, but Howie has to keep trying until we find someone. That was supposed to be Bennett in theory, but more injuries.

Jaire hasn’t played much this year so no clue what we are getting in him only played 2 games for the ravens…. Was at least solid for GB last couple of years before his injuries

Also have Carter I know he has been a slot mostly but could we look at giving him outside CB looks as insurance…. Have to image the goal has to be to keep Dejean inside he is arguably the best slot in the game

Plus it's nice to have a BU for DeJean in case he gets hurt. IDK has Carter played outside much?
