Do we let him test FA?
He'll get snatched up. Even if he is just a situational pass rusher. I really hope we keep him. Upshaw just doesn't have the explosiveness to be a pass rusher on rushing downs, but Kruger doesn't have the everydown ability like Upshaw
Sidenote: Courtney Upshaw is fucking huge and just a monsterQuote:

Kruger is only good when he is one on one with a blocker. That means he needs a real pass rushing threat on the other side. It's no coincidence that Kruger started playing better once Suggs came back. You really can't offer a player like that big money. Good role player but will never be the man.
yeah I was thinkin 3 or 4 million annually + incentivesQuote:

Yup. Can't overpay for role playersQuote:

That wasn't roughing the passer. That was BS. That crap happens to Flacco all the time, but it was shotty reffing all day.
We deserved to lose though.
It was- the ball was long gone. Just like when he did it against the Browns at home.
Maybe an element of holding in it though.
But overall I agree with you on the refs. They were atrocious
I still believe it was pretty tick-tacky. I've seen Flacco get hit a lot worse than that.
To answer the original thread though, I'd pay Ellerbe before Kruger. I think not having him today was a pretty big loss actually especially with how the middle of the field was so wide open.
Kruger has been pretty effective, but I think he really benefits from Suggs and is solely a pass rush specialist. I think some team will overpay for him next season.
Offer him a fucking plane ticket to Indianapolis with his diving board sticking out of his back.
THIS. To the clowns who made a thread smoking his pole, this is wat he does against even a mediocre OL. Sure a situational pass rusher against a scrub line, but even a mediocre one and he can't beat one on one.Quote:
