It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Since Win played some TE in college he's a candidate to be Vrabeled from time to timeI was thinking of something along those lines last night, but didn't have a specific player in mind -- The idea was because Vrable with his catch/TD rate was awesome and the fact that TEs seem to be dropping on this team.
Maybe have him play fullback on goal line playsI wouldn't put it past bill to pull a Vrabel from time to time. Winovich seems to have the talent
i think that ball landed back in michigan
I think the Bruschi comparison is valid in a number of reasons.
Both were down linemen for their entire time in college. If you ever get some clips of Teddy from his rookie year, they were using him mostly down on passing downs and special teams. Both, high motor, fast hands, quick and relentless. In Teddy's 2nd he got more reps at OLB, and eventually wound up mostly on the inside.
Important to remember that this is going to be a 2-3 year development from college down lineman to NFL LB. Small and DEFINED steps if we are to get his best. Right now beyond ST's, Wino has a small and distinct role. They aren't asking him to set the edge. They aren't asking him to drop into coverage. Add all those responsibilities and the results wouldn't look so good.
If you recall, almost all of his sacks are the result either either a scheme or him mopping up a flushed QB due to effort. What he isn't doing is beating DT's with individual moves like Von Miller. So regardless of his "sack" numbers (which are cool) we need to slow our roll on Winomania and our expectation.
BTW- One thing I noticed from the great clip Maust posted. The analyst (and I thought he was good and thorough) pointed out that Wino wasn't great at getting "bend" around the corner. I found that interesting since during camp and preseason games, I made a note of thinking Wino was getting pretty good "bend". Clearly he's looking to improve in this important area. Check it out the next time they send him on a straight rush.
At this point he is a small cog in a big machine. He is a young guy who is going through a position change that isn't easy. It's a very complex position that they are dumbing down for him while he gets up to speed. So far he is passing all his tests, but remember he's in about the 3rd grade of LB school at Bellichick Elementary.
I said it in the GDT and I'll say it again, that was a boneheaded move. Not only was that his very first NFL TD, but he promptly lost the one souvenir that would have commemorated that, and on top of that, he's losing a chunk of his paycheck next week.

If you were a hardcore fan, you'd use a urinary catheter and drink to your hearts content and not have to leave.I picked the wrong time to take a piss!
Cmon, it was just a punt.....If you were a hardcore fan, you'd use a urinary catheter and drink to your hearts content and not have to leave.

He's got the right uniform number, that's for sure.I wouldn't put it past bill to pull a Vrabel from time to time. Winovich seems to have the talent
He did at least get the ball back from the fan who ended up with it.

If he gets 10-12 sacks he'd be a shoo-in for DROY.
