11 sacks in 60+ games. Not signed to bring the pressure. At least we get our punter back!

This dude has some pass rush skills!!! I've seen him play in Dallas many times in his limited role. Good signing especially given what we have

 

[TJ]

Honestly, I like how BASK is turning over every stone to find a pass rusher. The pickings are slim, unfortunately. Guys like Butler are the only dudes out there.

The best bet is to hope that Abraham comes back focused, healthy, and in shape.

Next offseason, OLB help in the draft is going to be priority #1.

what about Quintin Groves? is he still floating around out there?

right when he got cut I thought hed come here but havent heard a peep.

At least we don't have to worry about every punt getting blocked. Butler took forever to kick the ball.

If his skills were as good as you seem to be raving he wouldn't been out of a job

 

[Darkside]

Maybe Dallas just doesn't like to rush the passer. Like how they don't like winning or making the playoffs or jumbo-trons smaller than Jerry Jones' fat head.

And yet still unemployed and only 11 sacks in 60 games... If the guys skills were that good especially as a pass rusher he wouldn't be unemployed thats just a fact.

 

[CardsFan88]

Whatever he has or doesn't, it should be noted that those 11 sacks are as a reserve as he has only started 2 games total in his career.

Like how SK doesn't sit around and hope.

Hope is not a plan!

Our current group, discounting Abrahams, could not get 11 sacks in 160 games combined. One must redefine the word 'good' in respects to the Cardinals and this makes Butler a good signing

For sure. but we need Palmer back as well.

I'm telling you now he's the best pure speed edge rusher we have on the roster until/if big John returns, unless his knee is still messed up.

Yep.

When the Cards aren't on I almost always watch the Cowpies play (just to watch them implode ), the kids got some pass rush skills.

I'd like to see what Okafor could bring to the table if he could every get healthy.

The problem with him is he just doesn't have the explosiveness at the snap...he never had it at Texas

but he was good using his hands to sheed blocks,he has good tecnique ,obviously burst is what matter most

Kurt Warner and Bertrand Berry were both out of the NFL for multiple years and went on to make pro bowls after.
