Is it too early to start the Chase Winovich DROY talk?

[Water Boy]

The answer is yes. But I'll be the first one to dedicate a thread to the idea since I've been wearing rose colored glasses since the Super Bowl.

 

[Vatahala]

No, but his helmetless poster will be on more teenage girls walls than any other rookie.

 

[borg]

Is his future OLB ?

 

[IcyPatriot]

Can opposing fans hate us anymore - is there a limit?

 

[Uptown]

He’s getting 8-10 sacks. THIS year.

 

[BlueThunder]

His motor reminds me of Luke Kuechly.

 

[mgteich]

The bye will be the best time for such discussions.

Winovich looked absolutely awesome against 3rd stringers. Before we anoint him DROY, let's see how many reps he gets in say the first four games.

 

[BlueThunder]

It's obvious...He has the "it" factor.......His Non stop motor will give QB's and RB's alike problems......Sacks...Who knows, but making the QB uncomfortable and move off his spot is good...

*checks calendar*

*confirms that we are in the third week of preseason*

Yes, it’s too early.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Is his future OLB ?

Yes.

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

I hope your right. Too early think about that.

Once he has to play starters every down. Once Offenses stop using the vanilla plays of PS and throw full blown schemes against him. Once we know how he reacts to the rookie wall mid season. I hope he conquers all of them. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

25-1 odds, wish they were a little higher. I’d take it at 50.

Also some players on other teams will be on the field as a starter and play most of that teams defensive snaps. Chase will be eased in

 

[Froob]

Yes.

Hm, why do you say that?

 

[Wheelman]

How has his college mate Rashan Gary looked?

 

[TheFlyingWedge]

I can’t remember Bill heaping praise on a rookie like he did last night with Chase. He is usually a lot more measured with young players.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Hm, why do you say that?

Because hes fast as hell and imo too limited by being a full time DE. He needs to be positioned all over the field

 

[Patriot Missile]

How has his college mate Rashan Gary looked?

32 snaps against Houston and 34 snaps against Ratbirds for a Combined total of 0 tackles and 0 sacks.

Interesting. Doesn't Houston have o-line problems?

 

[Zuma]

He’s getting 8-10 sacks. THIS year.

I was thinking about that earlier today...8 is a nice number...10 is better.
