if they could swing it and keep mebane....mebane and suh in the middle and bennett plus whoever they put on the other side(situationally Irvin), also on passing downs have Bennett and Suh in the middle..man, the possibilities
I've always said that Suh is the best defensive player in football. People like Watt, I like Watt, but there is just something about Suh. He is a physical force, a generational talent. A force up the middle of the defensive line is worth more than any other position, including on the edge. Edge rushers will typically get more sacks, but it's not about sacks in my book --it's about disrupting the offense, and nothing disrupts the offense like Suh in the middle. You can't run at him, and when you pass you must ALWAYS block him with two or else he will blow up your pass each time.
Getting Suh would be a dream for the defense. This league has a lot of parity. You get players like Bruce Irvin who is a freak, but let's face it, he is not that much better than a similar player on another team. There are a rare few players, players that are more than 2 standard deviations above the average. Suh is one of those players. And it's always worth it if you pay extra for those players, as long as you do not hamstring your team with cap hits. And this deal would not hamstring the team. I'm wishing it happens but you never know.
