The Big Cat Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 34 reps at the combine, contributed in college for 3+ years, one of the few guys listed as a "NT," sounds great to me.
H2o Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Torrell flippin Troupe? Are you serious? Ahead of Cody, Thomas, and Joseph? Wow.
Steely Dan Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 I GOT ONE RIGHT!! I GOT ONE RIGHT!!! FIRST TIME EVER!! WRONG ROUND BUT STILL!!! Â Great pick!!
mjohns85 Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 i am not sure what to think. i guess we just trust buddy
Rubes Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 ESPN chat guys are just hammering us. Absolutely hammering us.
Max997 Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 are you kidding me that espn is doing an interview when the bills are picking
davefan66 Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Mayock rated him 3rd round, FWIW. But likes the pick.
ndirish1978 Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Why are we ignoring tackle? This guys had a 3rd rd grade and we could have gotten the LT from USC. Terrible pick
BenchBledsoe Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 oh my God!!! Another freakin' reach that they could have traded down for
3irty1 Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 First time ESPN didn't show the commissioner announcing the pick. I havn't heard of troup, is he a NT prospect?
Gotta Dream Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 CBS Sports says: Â Pass rush: Bull rusher who often pushes his man (or a double-team when fresh) to collapse the pocket using leverage. Able to rip off blocks, punch and swim over the top, or even get under the arm of guards to pressure the quarterback if he hangs onto the ball too long. Limited burst; will provide some heat but not many sacks. Sits on many obvious passing situations. Â Run defense: Stands his ground against single and double blocks using his girth and strength, although he lacks the quickness to split the double. Can be violent with hands to free himself. Able to sift through trash inside to get to ballcarrier. Moves laterally while engaged to stay in the play. Needs improvement avoiding and recovering from cut blocks. Â Explosion: Quick and powerful off the snap, penetrating easily against man-up blocks. Good balance after initial contact, keeping pads low and moving forward. Loses steam coming off the ball throughout the game. Â Strength: Very strong player; prime nose tackle candidate. Uses a low center of gravity and thick upper body to gain leverage. Able to stack his man and disengage to chase the quarterback or wrap up ballcarriers. Â Tackling: Has length and upper-body strength to bring down most any player in his immediate area. Willing to chase down players but lacks burst to track them down from behind without help or consistently make tackles outside the box. Doesn't change directions easily, and can be eluded in space. Must keep his feet moving instead of relying on his strength to make arm tackles. Â Intangibles: Hard-working, unselfish leader with a quiet sensibility. Consistently gives good effort inside whether rushing the passer or stopping the run. No major character issues. Worked off 30 pound of weight during his career to gain stamina, although he still carries extra around his midsection.
Acantha Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Wow....surprise. Obviously got the guy they liked though, and it fills a huge need.
Mopreme Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 What a sh*tty pick with Charles Brown, Cam Thomas and even Cody still there. No excuses. This is a 3rd round pick.
