"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?

No I am say he needs free space to work. In the line he was not that good. Stand him up were he can see the play better is best. He is an OLB that was tried at DE because he is tough. 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.

he would play behind fujita? curious that a player with that kind of upside would have to sit

why do you think he would sit the first year or 2? is it just because you think fujita is better? and if thats the case....why would we use a pick on him instead of upgrading another position instantly?

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.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft

Loomis & SP will have their stuff together. Depending on what Def players fall they may even trade out of the first orund for som extra picks!!

Re: 2010 NFL Draft

Anybody jump out at you in the combine today? (Offensive Line, TE, Specialists)

Bruce Campbell was out of the box; definitely a top ten pick...
