I know I'm in the minority but if Harvin's there at 23 I'd take a long, hard look at him. At 23 I see him being good value. Like you said he plays hard and tough and he seems really amped up on the field. I see him as a great special teamer right away and possibly a 5-10 play-a-game guy on...
i take graham's opinions lightly in some cases. the patriots qb situation is one such case.
tim graham insisted all the way up until the cassel trade was announced that there is no way cassel would be traded until after draft because they couldn't be sure of brady's health. i was ok with...
The question I have with that is "is Taylor an every-down linebacker at this stage in his career?" I'm leaning towards no. I see him more as a situational/3rd down pass rusher rather than an every-down OLB or even a starting OLB
First of all, I don't think there's a strong correlation between reps at the combine and strength against the run. Strength against the run comes a lot more from lower body strength - "sand in the pants."
Secondly, 21 reps at the combine (then 23 at his Pro Day) isn't a bad showing at all...
McShay has Cody Brown graded out as an 80 (low second round pick).
McShay considers him to be the best pass-rushing OLB out of the group of Matthews, Cushing, Sintim and Curry but he did mention this in the context of 4-3 OLBs though.
As a 3-down linebacker, sure Jason Taylor is a bad fit. As a situational pass-rusher, he's great for the Pats.
When it's 2nd and long, 3rd down, Jason Taylor will be very useful.
If the opposition doesn't account for him, he'll need to make them pay.
If the opposition is forced to account...
Yeah I did see that and when I saw the Mayock segment it made me wonder if the Pats maybe even value Barwin primarily at TE.
Where would Barwin fit among this year's class at TE?
After looking at lists of Top TEs (Mayock's and others), I think it'd be top 5... maybe even top 3 given how he...
Hi all. This is my first post outside of the New Members Area but I've been reading the board for more than 6 months.
I've been following Connor Barwin closely since his name came on this forum and I continue to be intrigued as I see how he tested out at the Combine and his Pro Day.
I recently...
Hey,
I'm Dennis. I'm from Trinidad and Tobago but went to college in Boston and fell in love with American football and the Patriots.
I now obsess about the NFL particularly the Patriots. I think my understanding of the game is quite thorough by now so don't underestimate me :)
