RavenMad Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I love seeing a kid at that age that wraps and then drives through his tackles. Proper tackling technique seems to be a thing of the past. Everyone seems to want to lay the wood on every tackle. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted February 7, 2012 Author Posted February 7, 2012 Also he is so damned fast. He is crazy powerful. He is a beast. Quote
SpearSrai Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Yeah, but he took the easy way out... He's going to Ohio State. SEC football - go big or go home! Quote
papasmurfbell Posted February 7, 2012 Author Posted February 7, 2012 It is still a major conf and can get him to playing Sun. Quote
SpearSrai Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 It is still a major conf and can get him to playing Sun. Yep - just like Brandon Graham and Vernon Gholston, the last two star DE's to come out of the Big Ten. Quote
ForceEight Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Yep - just like Brandon Graham and Vernon Gholston, the last two star DE's to come out of the Big Ten.Or J.J. Watt, or Ryan Kerrigan, or Adrian Clayborn. The entire 2011 draft was stocked with Big Ten DEs, so that's one of the more ridiculous things you've ever said, really. Oh, and the SEC is overrated.

Which one of those guys was hyped before the draft? They were all solid-but-not-exciting, unlike Gholston and Graham.And your SEC comment is more ridiculous than anything I've ever said. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 JJ Watt, Clayborn, and Kerrigan were. Go back to my post from about last yr and you will see those 3 all being discussed. Quote

papasmurfbell Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 Nobody said that. I and many others here said they were really good picks coming out. Quote
SpearSrai Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Nobody said that. I and many others here said they were really good picks coming out. I remember. Not close to the hype that Gholston had coming out. Quote
RavenMad Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 JJ Watt was my favorite player in last year's draft. He would have made a great Raven. I got a chance to watch his games on tv a number of times and he seemed to dominate in every game and he was still learning the position as he was a TE before switching to DE. Gholston was a workout warrior. He never jumped out on tape like he did at the combine. He was drafted based on what teams thought he might be able to do rather than what his on field production showed what he was able to do. Quote
SpearSrai Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 That dude is on roids He absolutely was. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted February 11, 2012 Author Posted February 11, 2012 Also with so many pass rushers I don't think they could pub one dude to much. Quote
