Regardless of how sexy the skill positions are....this game is still won at the line. Our pass rush was fucking non-existent last season. If we did get a sack it was because the other team fucked up, not because we were good.
The best CB's in the league aren't covering guys for 7 or 8 seconds in this league on a consistent basis. [Reply]

Though the kid does get caught up in the wash at times of if he doesn't get the initial push at a sideline choke point.
From that video, he seems like a rotational player with versatility LB/DL
I saw a breakdown that said he has shit for technique. So what I take from that is, you are seeing raw talent and instinct. NFL Coaches will teach him the technique. He has very long arms for a man his size.
If he can get the edge or get a strong bull rush, I see a lot of tipped balls or grabbed arms coming which should lead to a lot of incomplete passes, picks and fumbles. [Reply]

I see elements of Chris Jones - wonder if he's hung as nicely? [Reply]
Veach obviously thought someone wanted Speaks before 54 or he wouldn't have made the deal. That's all that really matters. I'd suspect the team that really wanted him was the Chargers.
We got a good player folks... Not sure why everyone's panties are in a bunch. It wasn't a CB, but it didn't HAVE to be a CB... Fuck. [Reply]

I just wish most of them would think for a minute that Pittsburgh selected a 6th round talent, on their first round selection.

That was bad.
Only if he turns out to be a 6th round talent........ [Reply]
