Re: 2010 NFL Draft

i have no problem picking a DT because that is truely our biggest weakness

but every reason you have given for why you think we wont take cody doesnt matter......you think hes lazy and cant rush the passer which tells me you didnt watch him this year and only saw bits of the coverage on the senior bowl

if we do pick cody will you be the first one to post a crow thread and say i was right?

Well .. since we are tendering at least 13 players, it is possible we could end up with 13 2nd round picks. What's the record, btw, for the most 2nd round picks by one team?

that is, IMO, the reason why BPA is a myth. if you pick a player that can fill any kind of need then it is not picking on BPA, it is pickin on need....its great to have a player be not only the BPA but also a player you need because it solves both problems. but there is no reason for us to pick a QB with our first round pick this year when we have bigger issues

On the flip side, if Dez Bryant magically falls to 32, do you draft him? I say hell yeah. Do we need another receiever? No, but the value of that player at the spot we draft is too great not to take him and he would be an upgrade.

i see WR as a possible draft pick this year.....i wouldnt be surprised to see us take a WR at all because of how stagnant our offense got later into the season. courtney roby is great but he plays 1 position and it would be nice to get a player that could possibly play WR and return kicks like a percy harvin. i set my eyes on mardy gilyard from cincy but i doubt we go after him

Can someone explain to me the differences between a 3 technique tackle, 2 gap tackle, 4-3 under tackle? This is where I get lost.

this is confusing. a 3 tech is where the defensive lineman lines up. its to the outside shoulder of the offensive guard.

a 2 gap tackle is a tackle that is required to play more than 1 gap, like a nose tackle who lines up straight acrossed from the center and is responsible for both gaps on either side of him. people often consider this to be a 3-4 DTs duty but it is also the responsibility of the NT in a 4-3 defense as well because they are sometimes lined up head up on the center. sometimes they line up to the outside shoulder of the center and they are only responsible for that gap(also known as a penetrating DT because they only have to penetrate 1 gap)

a 4-3 under tackle? im not exactly sure what you mean by that. in a 4-3 there are 2 DTs. 1 is lined up at the nose guard position and the other is lined up at the 3 technique

Re: 2010 NFL Draft

heard he is still losing weight and is still going down. should be 350 by the time he weighs in for the combine according to adam schefter

Round 1

Sergio Kindle, Texas, SLB/DE, 6-4, 254, 4.54

worried about the DE transition to a true SLB

hes a fast man and hes huge......kinda like a jason taylor

but could he play pure LB? the combine may shed some light on that

Re: 2010 NFL Draft

read it. He was a monster in 2008 at OLB. The switch in 2009 to DE killed his stats. Tell you this, Stand this kid up and watch him tear offenses apart.

"In other words he is a little slow reading and reacting"

this isnt something you can have from a strong side LB.....the strong side has to be the quickest to the ball because they are the ones that break up the play.......the weakside can be a little slower to the ball and use their speed and strength to make up for it like you have in your analysis

idk much about this kid and if we continue to run the 3-4 it would be nice to have a player that really fits well in that defense......maybe he could be it?

Re: 2010 NFL Draft

as for the under DT in a 43 he is a NT in a pure definition. He must require two blockers in order to free up the 43 DT or three tech. DT(Ellis). This allows the 3 tech DT more one one match ups. The 3 tech DT is quicker and faster of the two. The NT (Clancy) is more of you run stopper that clogs the interior of the OL. Our stats against the run this year shows how important Clancy was to the DL.

Ok he can do it but it is a waist of his talent. let him run from sideline to sideline and collect heads along the way. Thats were he is best. At his size and speed he is an excellent match up against TE. Blitz him and he will eat up any RB assigned to block him. He is going to be a terror. Williams could do wonders with the kid and Scott is a great mentor for him.
