Why worry so much about what he said anyways? Who cares? Probably one of the most irritating things about sports media is the microanalysis of simple statements that players make.

I.M.O 7 solo tackles and 3.5 sacks isn't "really good"

I understand it's refreshing to not just hear the cookie cutter cliche each time, and not every 1st year rookie will be a J.J. Watt or CM3, but I.M.O. Datone has a distorted sense of reality.

Some people want us to keep Pickett, but I really think he was declining for the past two seasons and giving him another contract is a complete waste. I think most Packers fans are pretty disgusted with Raji - and would view his resigning as an insult to all of us. And Wilson is just a guy. He plays the run pretty well, but gets absolutely no push in the pass rush.

I'd rather we went with Jolly, Daniels, Boyd, Jones and two new players!

"I was able to really help out a lot on third down. "

I am not sure how anyone on defense can celebrate how they played on third down this season.

I can not find any challenges with that statement. Looked at the positives and clearly stated his commitment to take every aspect of his game to the next level in 2014. I did not read one excuse.

I would be worried if he stated:

"I am going to reward myself. I am going to check out the nightlife in Amsterdam for the off season."

I would have liked to see him get more opportunities. As it stands he was tied for 2nd in sacks with Sheldon Richardson for rookie interior type DL but only played like 5-10 snaps a game for the most part. He showed flashes of pass rush ability kind of like how Daniels did as a rookie the year before. Hopefully he can make a similar jump in his 2nd season because if he can our DL suddenly looks a whole lot more dangerous.

beast (18h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (18h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games
