If you're going to throw a jump ball why would it ever be to anyone other than Calvin Johnson?

The Puppy Bowl posted:If you're going to throw a jump ball why would it ever be to anyone other than Calvin Johnson? I think Evan's jump ball only stereotype is wearing away. His gauntlet at the combine was fantastic. He'll be valuable as a split end muscle player, a guy who takes the opposing CB 3 yards back then cuts in whenever the weakside LB blitzs. Lee's game is much more suited for the Z. He runs every route with crisp quickness, you can't as for much better out of a rookie really. He belongs on a team like the Jags or the Jets, one that will give him a shot at the #1 role.

Doltos posted:Evans is raw but is definitely the superior physical specimen. Lee was never going to test well at the combine, everyone knew that. He wasn't going to measure well, either. Lee's game comes from his actual ingame prowess in which he's just fantastic. He reminds me of a quicker Brian Robiskie, who was also a force in college but flatlined in the NFL. Brian Robiskie was never a force. He was a very adequate possession receiver for one year where we played an easy schedule. Seriously, his junior year was that year we played LSU in the title game and prior to that game we had played 4 ranked teams (Purdue, Penn State, Wisconsin, and Michigan) none of which were ranked above 19, and he still didn't crack 1000 yards, and that's his career best season. The next year he got shut down in every serious game other than the fiesta bowl and Penn State, where Texas was loading like 9 guys in the box to keep Pryor from running wild and Penn State's top corner was hurt. Anyone who expected Robiskie to be good didn't watch his tape at all. Then the Browns drafted him, and it became even more apparent that he would never have the tools to separate in the NFL. He'll be a great receivers coach some day. Marquise Lee on the other hand torched the Pac-12 for two years before having a semi-down year when USC's quarterbacking went in the shitter this year. He actually consistently separates, and his lack of production was equal parts injury/QBs not getting the ball to him rather than being ineffective. Lee is a lot closer to a Greg Jennings type guy who isn't going to test exceptionally well but consistently does everything expected of him in the position.

With the signings the Falcons had today everyone is speculating a change to 3-4. Knowing nothing about college players and assuming Clowney is gone, who fits better in that system, Mack or Barr?
|
# ? Mar 11, 2014 23:03 |

Pretty sure Barr is preferable as a 3-4 or OLB.

Evans does a lot more than jump balls, everyone just focuses on those because that's how he racked up those sexy 275 yard games vs Alabama and Auburn, but he has plenty of value beyond that. He's loving tough for corners to bring down when his feet are set and turns a lot of 4-yard stick routes into first downs. He's also a really good blocker.

Shrug. Jordan Palmer can run the offense that McCown was running. Throw Screens to Forte and throw slants and jump balls to Alshon and Brandon.

Football isn't the most important thing here obviously but in the context of the thread: If he's bipolar there is a decent chance he could be medicated and feel okay / have a football career. Schizophrenia, yeah not much chance.

Roasted Donut posted:The homer in me wants Allen Robinson on the Steelers so loving bad. I kind of hope they draft two wide receivers because I like this class so much, that would require them to trade back at some point to get some extra picks though which probably won't happen I could see them trading down in the first depending on how things go. Clinton-Dix is out after the Mitchell signing so if, say, Dennard and Gilbert are gone by #15, I could see them trading down and taking Roby or Nix if he's there later on. I just hope they don't take Taylor Lewan.

I wouldn't mind Mack, but ever since the Combine I've been more or less focused on Teddy and Clowney - specifically the latter. Teddy's pro day is today IIRC, so maybe that'll shake things up.

# ? Mar 13, 2014 17:12 |

I'll admit that I'm not the most knowledgeable about Mack, but what does he have that would interest Houston? Clowney is clearly the better pass rusher, and they already have good linebackers, assuming Cushing doesn't go down to another knee injury. I just don't understand that prediction at all.

Mack is a more natural fit in a 3-4 and is from what I remember pretty good in coverage when he needs to be and is absolutely up there with Clowney, if a step below, in speed and pass rushing ability That said, if they're not going with Clowney I want them to go with Teddy e: Also "They have good linebackers" Good joke Chich

Chichevache posted:I mean I know Cushing is excellent when healthy, and I guess Connor Barwin is gone now, and I thought there was some other guys who were good too... I'll defer to Daltos on the Mack stuff I guess, I only know bits and pieces from various things I've read but haven't done a lot of research since I didn't consider him a real possibility for the Texans. The defense was really good in 2011 because Antonio Smith, Connor Barwin, Brooks Reed, Jonathan Joseph and Kareem Jackson all had really huge years. In 2012, even though JJ Watt turned into the monster we all know and love, the rest of the defense regressed badly. Kareem still played well, but Joseph was injured, Barwin disappeared from the stat sheet, Reed looked like a flash in the pan (2013 proved it to be the case), Smith returned to his career norms. In 2013, Barwin was gone and Mercilus played well but was nothing special (he has basically no inside pass rush moves and gets ridden past the play constantly), Joseph was getting burned a lot and was possibly hiding an injury, the team's best safety Glover Quinn was gone so we could sign Ed Reed , Danieal Manning got hurt, Antonio Smith got old fast, Brooks Reed looked even worse. And of course Cushing was lost for the season early in both 2012 and 2013 e: Also the defense began committing a fuckton of penalties e2: Oh also forgot, Brice McCain was the best slot CB in the NFL in 2011, then turned into the second coming of Jason David after he got injured in 2012 e3: Ah, one last thing. THey also traded DeMeco Ryans to the Eagles after 2011 and haven't really had a suitable replacement since then Intruder fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Mar 13, 2014 |
