This is what upsets me, we signed Leonard Floyd to a huge contract after one good year, Aldon Smith killed the Rams for years when he was lined up next to Justin Smith and we could get him for cheap
I keep seeing so many say Floyd only has had one good year.
That's not completely accurate. It would be more accurate to say he's had one good year rushing the passer. But over his whole NFL career he's been good at defending the run and in coverage when they ask him to drop back.
He's a complete edge defender and that's why Staley targeted him and why Staley and McVay said he was the 3rd most important piece on this defense. He's being paid as an all around edge defender, not just as a pass rusher.
