It's important to be able to express yourself. I'm glad you realize that.
I always reply to posters.
DKF -Seriously.. YOU are the one who obsesses over people.
I don't think he realizes he does it.
Apart from a few stupid tweets as a freshman, I would argue that the reason he dropped is that at Alabama he was primarily a designated pass rusher who in his first two years was undisciplined and zigged when he should have zagged on run plays. Last year as a junior he improved against the run (especially when it came to making disruptive plays behind the line of scrimmage), and became an absolutely dominant pass rusher, but still played primarily on passing downs. I thought as a Pats rookie he would be an effective designated pass rusher but his run defense would take a year or two. I’m delighted to have been wrong.
Far and away the highest rated DT coming out falling into the second round is kind of stunning.Apart from a few stupid tweets as a freshman, I would argue that the reason he dropped is that at Alabama he was primarily a designated pass rusher who in his first two years was undisciplined and zigged when he should have zagged on run plays.

DKF, you should read this. You'll like it, but might learn that you've been aiming your nonstop fire in the wrong direction:

Barmore didn't have a TON of experience. He had 1 year in HS and 2+ years in college And teams downgraded him for it.. Teams also didn't listen to Barmore's position coach or Nick Saban. If they had, they'd have known that Barmore's "lack of experience" was actually a benefit. That he soaked up teaching like a sponge and didn't have bad habits on the field to break. Saban's structure at Alabama was a really GOOD thing for Barmore and, I believe, it's why he's excelling here.

Curran: Has Patriots' post-Caserio offseason approach led to 2021 success?
New England’s 2021 draft haul and free agency additions are paying big dividends as the season hits the home stretch. As Tom E. Curran writes, a more collaborative offseason approach has the Pats back in the hunt.
It was weird how rumors by so-called draft pundits spread about him not being a hard worker or a quick study came out around the time of the draft, because there wasn’t the slightest hint of any of that at Alabama and from the Alabama coaches ( and Saban doesn’t hold back on that type of thing if a player isn’t doing what is needed). I suspect those rumors were started by teams that coveted him and hoped he would fall.
Patience, grasshopper.Mostly OT - where's @ashley1992 ? I'm having gameday thread withdrawal!
