Tired of Dumervil loss being viewed as a negative

[Garfield]

I doubt they'd have let him go if they didn't think they could manage the loss. I for one think Ayers will be fine there - he just needs the reps/snaps. The good thing about Ayers is he can stop the run better than Doom. But even if Ayers doesn't work out - Phillips is here and we have youth on the depth chart too.

I can't wait to see the likes of Beal and Nate Irving and some of our other recent draft picks that we never get to see much of. The DL is much stiffer than it's been in recent years so Miller and whoever plays where Doom did should have a LOT of chances to flash.

It's gonna be great!

His loss will be felt though - if not by the fans - by the players. You'd heard the interviews. Doom was an influence in the locker room and on the field. Yes it'll be a factor until our other guys step up and take the bull by the horns.

A good team mate, no doubt certainly not worth the money he would have made.

It is a big loss until proven otherwise.
