Hopefully Cunningham should make a big jump this year. We all know it takes time to convert from a 4-3 DE in college to a 3-4 OLB in what is a pretty difficult system to learn so hopefully with a year of experience he'll be greatly improved, just hoping the lockout doesn't hinder that too much...
Very interesting but I'm not sure how much I'd count on Pro Bowl selections as indicators of how good a player is (although you could make the argument that a star player is just a high profile player rather than a high quality player). Look at last year, Merriweather got a Pro Bowl vote despite...
I just got finished watching our first Super Bowl win against the Rams from back in 2001 (I've only really been following football since 2006) and one of things I found extremely interesting about it was that the Pats were putting a lot of pressure on Warner (I think it was something like 3...
Check out their drafts in 2003, 2004 and 2005 (aka the Millen years). 3 top ten picks, 3 WRs, none of which has really made any impact (an argument could be made for Roy Williams but regardless he hasn't lived up to his draft position). They then took a year out by drafting a LB but came right...
Kiwanuka and Jenkins are the ones I'd like to see us sign but I don't see it happening. Kiwanuka has played his entire career at 4-3 DE and whilst he definitely has the size to play 3-4 OLB in our system I wonder if BB is unwilling to draft a DE to OLB project why he'd want to sign one in FA. I...
Maybe I'm just being pessimisstic but this doesn't scream dedication to me:

I'll admit Mallett is physically talented but as much as Mayock says his character concerns were overhyped he dropped to where he did for a reason. Physically this kid has 1st round talent no doubt but there were a number of teams in this draft who were in dire need of a QB and haven't been shy...
I agree Mallett is a talented passer but there's a reason he dropped as far as he did. I think the Mallett pick may have pushed me over the edge. I was alright with Solder, not flashy and I thought we could have waited for O-line but if BB thinks its the right choice I'll take it. Wish we would...
I surprised that if BB was gonna take a DB this early why he passed on Amukamara at 17, obviously the run on tackles factors in to it but I was under the impression that Prince was a pretty special talent
Given that we didn't pick up anyone in the 1st round to solidify our D-line or contribute a pass rush personally I'd prefer if we left the RBs to the 3rd round and later. I've got my fingers crossed that BB will grab a pass rushing OLB (Brooks Reed maybe?) and maybe a D-line player in the 2nd...
I can understand your frustration and I feel it too but I think BB knows better than all of us what the team needs. Clearly he felt that there was no one who would have bolstered the defence in the 1st round that would have done a better job than some of the people available in the 2nd round. As...
YouTube - Sport Science: Nate Solder
Interesting video, probably a bit more style than substance as is usual for Sports Science but a good watch none the less
As always In Bill We Trust and I'm the first to admit I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to scouting OL but that video did not make Solder look good in my opinion. He got dominated by the speed rush on some of those early plays (one leading to a sack and fumble another leading to a...
Not sure why they'd feel their window is small with a promising Matt Ryan only going in to his 4th season. I think the addition of Jones makes their offense scary good. They may have given up too much to move up and take him but they obviously feel that they don't have huge needs elsewhere
Nice. Wouldn't mind seeing us making a play for Cullen Jenkins as well. He's a hugely underrated talent who may go for cheaper than he's worth due to injury concerns. Wouldn't be surprised if GB pay a bit of a premium to keep him though given Johnny Jolly's legal troubles
