Harold Landry was all over Watson in that game. 4 total qb pressures. Might end up being the biggest steal of the draft although it was one game.

I know, I always saw potential in Jensen because he was such a powerhouse, but oddly enough he was a better pass blocker than run blocker once he found his footwork.

For players who’s jerseys aren’t mass produced you custom order the name and number

I think that Darnold, Mayfield and Allen have shown that they will be starters in this league probably for a long time. I personally believe that Mayfield will be Cleveland's best quarterback maybe ever, however he looks small and willing to make risky decisions. If he improves a lot which is likely and his decision making gets much better, he may become a Drew Brees style quarterback, just probably over all not as successful. All in all, I was happy to see Cleveland get a win.
I just saw a video of Cris Carter saying good pass rushers aren’t developed but born. It made a lot of sense and kind of applies to every position. It made me think it puts so much stress on having a good scouting dept. Maybe our WR scouts aren’t good. maybe they’re looking for players to develop instead of looking for good football players.
except maybe offensive lineman

AMEN!! You hit this on the head. Thats exactly whats going on here. its like we pick the projects early on and during the later rounds we pick those players that have “ it”.. even though kenny young could still be a dissapointment, he has a lot of intangibles already that cannot be taught. Some said he has problems with the run and even though i didnt see it, getting better at run stopping is very possible. Those the players i think we should

It’s true in a way. You can develop hand skills, film study and learn to pick up tendencies etc, but the balance needed to consistently bend the edge can’t be learned, the guys I point out on this theory are Derek Barnett and Demarcus Ware, 2 best edge Benders I think I’ve ever seen. The shoulder dip is such a lethal move for guys who can lean really sharp to bend the corner and it’s something that all the best edge rushers have. It’s the difference between a Charles harris who is as explosive as they come but has done jack shit, and a Derek Barnett who is slow as molasses but productive so far
not sure im sold on allen but im all in on rosen and he hasnt even played an nfl regular season snap yet
i think we're gonna see this with harold landry too - his dip move is so effective already - i was never really sold on his tape from 2017 but ill admit that i dinged him a little too much and he's proving so far that he's an absolute steal

I was really high on him even said he was a better pass rusher than Chubb. You had to go back to his 2016 tape when he was healthy. I saw a completely different player.

Best dip and bend I can remember in recent memory was Jason Babin and it took him 8 seasons to put it all together. In his breakout season he could bend in almost a right angle.

Yeah Honor Landry(this is how I will forever refer to him, thanks Vince Young) had a really special bend, his final season had a whole shitton of getting washed out of plays and I admit I dropped him really low too. The year prior, when he was initially gonna declare before backing out, I had a first round grade on him, the man had burst and bend for days, sort of like a Bruce Irvin type, he could speed rush but I wasn’t sold on anything else.
thats a player I’m not super familiar with, I just know that I studied a shit ton of Barnett’s college tape, and watching Demarcus Ware is what made me fully grasp the concept of bending the edge, I had an iffy understanding of it until I saw a sack of his where he had his shoulder in an OTs hip seemingly to prop himself up at a goddamn 30 degree angle from the ground, and he just rotated the tackle without him getting a hand on him, and then lunged to the qb in a sprinters stance once he beat the tackle.it was beautiful.

Like him or not, James Harrison had that down to a tee.
Thats what yall look for when scouting a pass rusher? i be cluless as hell when watching pass rushers outta college.
i didn’t know that. it just sucks when we’ve drafted good or great players t every position except wr. not even 1 maybe torrey but meh
