What ax does Omar Kelly have to grind against Koa Misi?

Misi must have kicked OmarK's pregnant dog. Repeatedly.

 

he seriously keeps saying the same crap....he had some vendetta against him early on, and now wont admit anything.....hes a joke

 

Yeah Misi has been quitely solid. Omar sounds like a lot of the negative posters here, waiting for one or two slip-ups so he can shout "told ya so!"

 

Sounds like someone who will not change their opinion on a player. Even after the player proves otherwise.

Kinda like some fans here who loved or hated a pick and now that he's not what he could be, they still push the love or hate.

 

I would love to see him in the Pro Bowl this year.

 

The only thing I don't like is the obfuscation of the facts. Koa Misi only rushed the passer 10 times in Baltimore. That's it. Just 10 times. But in those 10 times he recorded 1 QB Hit according to Pro Football Focus, and by Omar's own admission Koa shared in two of Cameron Wake's sacks, to the point where Omar felt like the NFL was probably going to reduce at least one of those sacks to a half sack for Wake.

And yet when he talks about Koa in pass rush, he's pointing out the snaps when he did not successfully get any pass rush.

 

When Misi makes all pro, Omar will spin it somehow to justify his criticism.

He is a self appointed Guru,dont you know.

 

I'm pretty sure Omar killed them when Misi was picked and like any stubborn mule, he won't admit he might have been wrong....

 

I bet if you looked real hard, Zach Thomas' scouting report probably has something very similar in it.

Not sure why Omar is so married to this opinion. He needs to let it go already.

 

I thought sports writers were supposed to be objective?

 

No lie I could see Misi at ILB. He has the skill set, and does lack the various pass rush moves currently, although I suspect he will gain some as time goes on...but if a mast pass rusher that would fit at SOLB is sitting there, might be smart thing to do...

 

I won't rule it out but right now it's very hard to imagine because he's actually a good pass rusher and it's the mental part of the game he's having trouble with. Which makes him the exact opposite of fit for ILB as opposed to OLB.

 

Omar Kelly is a ****ty writer with a tremendous ego relative to what he actually knows?

A guy who has repeatedly confused 3-technique positioning with a linemen having responsibility for 3-gaps should not be making talent assessments.

 

I don't know man. He has a pretty good skill rushing the passer from the outside. Put him inside and imo he disapears.

 

Wait what? A guy is responsible for 3 gaps? The guy would have to be 9 ft tall and move like Devin Hester to even have a chance.

Please tell me you're making this up.

 

Sounds like someone's little ego cant handle being wrong.

 

Did he really think a 3-technique was a guy responsible for 3 gaps?

 

I've seen him do it 2-3 times, this is the only one I could find-

There was another example where a camp body Nose Tackle prospect was being interviewed and was clearly talking about playing 1, 2, and 3-technique positioning in college, but Kelly went in and inserted (gaps) in parenthesis afterwards. No doubt muttering to himself how the ignorant masses probably wouldn't understand what he was talking about anyway.

 

O.K. you got this gap, this gap and then that gap way over there past this gap I just showed you.

Could you imagine the players face.

 

Hahahahah

 

I've read it many times and it still all comes down to a facepalm.

 

But so far outside of one sack, he has shown with his pass rush moves(bull rush), his ability to shed blocks, he doesn't actually need space to be effective. He's already a better cover guy the Channing, now the question would be, like CK brings up, would he be able to pick it up mentally, diagnose plays etc..

 

He is more of a speed rushing Lb from the outside. When engaged he does not bull rush imo. I see him using leverages and he is very good at applying pressure to get the Qb to hurry his throws.

I think we have a really good prospect for the inside but he is on IR right now...

 

Wasn't Omar the one who wouldnt even refer to Misi by name during the preseason? He kept calling him "55"....Seems like someone who disagreed with the draft pick trying to stick to their hate filled guns.

 

If Omar does not like him, than I love him, that means he has all-pro potential!

 

He's doing the exact same thing with Henne. Go back and read his tweets during the Raiders game. From following him you would think Henne had a horrible day.

 

I don't mean to be an *** but has Omar Kelly ever showed that he has a clue about football? I don't know how or why he has a job as a Journalist.

 

he is a joke. period.

 

You may get your wish ! and ....... an honorary Canadian Citizenship , eh !

 

He wants to keep throwing bad things about Misi's game against the wall hoping something will stick. So then he will be able to say I told you so like he is some talent guru.

Clown is about all I come up with that won't look like this #### Breath
