Really? What do you think of Chambers' effort on the play? How about Oman's?
A clip like this shows why sacks are not a recorded stat. Whose fault is it? If all three guys come, how does the blocking scheme pick them up? How about two of them?
When someone talks about an oline "gelling" they mean that someone on the line will pick this type of rush up. Either Chambers slides over or Oman steps up or Dock blocks him. I agree that one of them need to block the guy, that's for sure. Look for more of this kind of stuff in 2009 as our young line begins the learning process.
O'Brien was in Cleveland when April was in Pit, so they saw each other quite a bit. Around the time Eric Metcalf was on Clevelands team, some time in the 90's. He also coached in Car with Steve Smith returning kicks.
O'Brien didn't do great in Den last year after taking the prior year off. It will be interesting to see what he brings to the table, he'll have a pretty good starting point as far as talent.
I'm just looking for his thoughts, that's all. Don't care about Oakland, Al is obviously way too close to the process for their own good, but I like that he leaves better players for us. I'm not looking to judge our draft, just discuss it.
Really, how did did he grade out? Who was second, etc?
I'm just hoping we don't resign Denny, Walker and Kelsay to starters money when their contracts come up. For me that means Ellis makes some strides this year and Maybin doesn't bust the year after that and Bell develops.
It seems to me that the people we have are flexible enough so that we can get the best five on the field. Having to decide at this point who the best five are is a nice problem, no complaints from me. The one thing it looks like though is Bell will not be competing for a guard spot.
I wonder what DJ thinks of it? Sounds like a player to develop instead of playing right away. Not as bad as the McGahee pick/Gregg Williams, but a couple steps that way?
None. Considering the amount of time 32 teams spend looking at these guys, I don't pretend to know on draft day that "this guy is better than that one". My explosions come when they actually hit on players but don't keep them.
But, but we need a TE -> he's the best one available, therefore we need him. Stop asking all those questions!
No TE on the first day until we make the playoffs.
