Re: Fowler Jr. likes Rob Ryan's scheme.
Fowler is starting to grow on me. I like the fact that he's versatile and a 6'3" 260 lb. athletic linebacker sounds better than a 230 lb. tweeter who can't defend the run.

Re: Fowler Jr. likes Rob Ryan's scheme.
I've watched tape on this guy and the first thing that jumped out at me is how quick he gets into the backfield for a guy listed at 260 pounds.
He gets to the QB in a hurry and looks to be relentless in pursuit, I like that trait in a defender. I would not be disappointed if he was our pick. |

Re: Fowler Jr. likes Rob Ryan's scheme.
sorry i can get so giddy about jumping on this band wagon still
oh yeah he can fill up a high light reel but it the crap edited out that worries more. dude stands around a lot and show little effort in back side pursuit. I red flag his motor and overall desire. 6'3" 260 is not that big to play DE in a 34. 43 all day |

Re: Fowler Jr. likes Rob Ryan's scheme.
Scherff demonstrated less than impressive work on the bench press and pulled a muscle running the 40 and was unable to perform other drills which leads to the question, can this guy play 16 games?
Fowler has a questionable motor, took off waaay too many plays... |

Re: Fowler Jr. likes Rob Ryan's scheme.
He hasnt missed a game in two years and only missed the games in college when recovering from a dislocated ankle and broken fibula.Its not like he has a long history of injuries preventing play.

Re: Fowler Jr. likes Rob Ryan's scheme.
He didn't impress me on the bench either, looked weak. I would want a bulldozer if we would take an O-lineman at 13. I pass.
