Were you trying to date him?

 

So now we have the same ol' QBs as before. So much for rebuilding.

Yeah, because we are worse now than the Holcomb, Losman, Edwards, Fitzpatrick teams that have not sniffed a 3 win season. At least you didn't tock about #1 and Locker :w00t:

 

I will say it again. I don't know how good Clausen will be overall, but I think Trent outperforms him in 2010. And I think NT was a bigger need than LT. Still some good LT's left too...

 

Only 22 more picks before we get to pick again, and there are some quality players at our positions of need. Either for a trade up or to see who falls to us.

Finally. A QB needy team with no 1st rounder lands their guy by just sitting and waiting. A "top ten" guy goes 48th. He may very well start for this team this year too.

 

I'm very happy for Clausen that he landed in a spot that will allow him to succeed. I hope he sticks it to the rest of the league big time.

Troup analysis from NFLDraft Scout.com:

 

Analysis

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

Bills may draft QB. Don't be surprised if it's 5th round, or late 4th with us trading back in.

I hate to burst the bubble, but I fully expect Trent to get another shot this year, along with

Brohm getting a good look.

Including the Bills?

 

Cuz if you're rooting for Claussen over the Bills, doesn't that make you not a Bills fan?

That was one of the reasons why I was afraid of the Bills drafting Clausen. The posts that I have been reading from his supporters remind me of the Flutopians -- who seemed to be more fans of Flutie than the Bills.

Nice of Rod Woodson to wear his Dickies workin' gear :D

Ha - my friend said the same thing. I'm sure it was pitched as "edgy"...
