Irvin was awesome today. Nice game for a former 1st round pick. Lived up to it.

Hey but serious question you promised that if he was DE on passing downs it was a guaranteed sack. I didn't see that. I don't have DVR but I didn't really catch him pressuring the QB relentlessly today either.
I'm not digging at him because he played a good game with everything else, just pointing out that his pass rush is still of the "can disappear completely" variety. Which is weird because he had been getting pressure this season, so this game, after he actually got himself two sacks last week, was not when I was expecting it to go away.

I meant in a situation where the entire world knows they HAVE to throw it. Like Carolina's last drive, last week.
“I really don’t care about the pick-six. I’d rather have a sack. They can have the touchdown, the football and the pick back for one sack.”

Take this snippet after today's game...

Take away the pick-six and we lose the game, but at least Bruce would have got a sack.

It's not necessarily a measure of his smarts but commentary that points to his desire to play aggressive and physical. Given how we are missing out on sacks this year he may have a point.

Yep, I'm pretty sure he'd take that back on reflection, but it's a ridiculous thing to say in the first place. Smacks of selfish to me, and that's not very PC.
