The 2021 Offseason Thread

[jboy19]

I mean that's fine, but the "from what I've seen" is a combination of like a week of padded practices and OTAs where you don't hit anybody. I would be waiting almost a full year for that assessment. For all I know, not only was he Ricard insurance, but he also may have been Boyle insurance, who doesn't seem particularly likely to be making a camp presence this year and may very well not be ready for week 1.

And its also possible they thought up all of this and then realized he's just not that good. Certainly happens pretty much every year also.

I didn't think of him being used as a Boyle replacement, I guess it could make sense. I actually have only watched a little bit of Michigan film with him after he was drafted and I genuinely have no idea what they are doing with him in camp right now (other than seeing like 5 seconds of him doing TE blocking drills on Snapchat).

i mean let's not be ridiculous - just because we didnt know about him doesnt mean he was going udfa - just not a ton of film on him and not highly publicised as a prospect but he wasn't ever making it out of the 4th round

i genuinely feel way more nervous about cleveland than i do about stephens... but i get that that's not the opinion of most here

Cleveland had available film.

and I don’t get why Stephens wouldn’t have made it out of the fourth, I know that some things have been put out there about it, but that was all hearsay and has never been confirmed

Looks like Momma Harbaugh’s favorite player is pretty much worthless

Oh Rossi, some things I guess I’ll never understand…

i mean i didnt have him ranked on my board because i never came across him and never watched him
that obviously made me go "eh?" on draft day

but he showed a ton of dynamic traits with tons of athleticism with some nice instincts that say day 2 pick to me
like i like his tape and traits a lot more than some corners that went ahead of him and after him

i guess we'll see but i really like what i saw of him on the film we could find after our initial "wtf?" when we drafted him

He’s our next legendary DB

watching that clip of Bateman grabbing TD on Marlo has me hype. Had me wondering "have we finally found our WR?"

The same way I looked at Lamar at QB and the Ravens on offense.


HYPE...I BLEED PURPLE

He pumps me up too, but I just hope the muscle tightness/soreness works itself out eventually so he’s not hobbled up frequently

bateman's cool but after what ive seen so far - im all in on Oweh

 

[ndub]

Yes sir

 

[rossihunter2]

Yes sir

honestly he looks like a different player as a pass rusher - and it's something else getting to see him absolutely make mincemeat out of the backup RTs on Saturday

i really hope we get a little bit of footage of the padded practice tomorrow

 

[redrum52]

I want it to be real clear these were the 2 picks I wanted in the 1st and they seem to be as good or better than advertised.

See if I can get a job at the Castle.

who here was the one who didn’t like Oweh and gregory rousseau? Wonder if that person had a change of heart

I remembered being scared of him not having much production last year but going simply off the no sack stat is pure laziness. Dive deeper into it and you’ll see he has a TON of potential to be a force to be reckoned with.

Same man, that stadium practice had me stunned, he was the single most impressive player on the entire field, he played at a different speed than everyone else. Like there’s fast, there’s game speed fast, then there’s dudes that play at a different speed, and those are guys that are just faster, quicker, more agile, more decisive, better vision, than anyone on the field with them, guys like Lamar, Oweh looks like he could be like that. He is just gonna be the fastest person between the hashes almost every snap and he’s a freaking rush OLB and is more than adequately sized and plays strong as shit as well, sure he’s far from developed when it comes to taking on blockers in the pass rush, he’s got a shitload of work to do there, but he’s got a football mind, he flows well and he’s decisive yet he’s also patient. I have been really concerned that Oweh would bust, but man what I saw in that practice was beyond encouraging. At worst I think he’s gonna have a lot of TFLs, I love how he moves in space and like him a lot more as a OLB than a DE, and I think that sounds incredible for winks defense

Hey ER! Man, I have been on lockdown since the pandemic and now that things have opened up (months back) my wife and I have been traveling like crazy.
