Passrushing DE/OLB scrap heap

Harvey and Q Groves were thought to be can't miss prospects coming out in 08.

So:

Harvey
Gholston
Tim Crowder

So far.

 

Antwan Odom as well DDupree.

Not sure what is going on with Taylor, or if Javon Kearse should be in the mix,

 

The Ghost lands a shot on a 4-3 team.

 

Injury prone but productive, who knows what the Chargers get out of him?

 

Is that a buzzard watching the Bills practices?

 

#1 pick talent until a knee injury at Clemson that was not handled properly derailed him sounds like he has issues

 

Not a passrusher per se, do think he can at least play Lb in the 4-3.

 

This really surprises me, I thought Roth's time in Cleveland was positive and he played at a high level, alas, the NFL does not think so, or he has priced himself out of the market.

 

Anderson was strictly a DE in Chicago, he goes to NE and voila! He is now a passrushing OLB.

 

I'm sure, if he sticks BB will have a role in mind for him doing exactly that, what I find funny is:

"The patriots did not draft a passrushing OLB!!!!"

So now, every defensive player they sign is...a passrusher.

Off of the scrap heap he moves!

Crowder's 2010 output equaled JT's per pff.

 

And FMR CFLer Phil Hunt's chances just moved up a notch.

 

Guy has really bounced around, imho if he washes out in Detroit he should give the CFL a try and see if he can reinvent himself.

 

Inching closer to the scrap pile, I can recall E Brown beating Jake Long for a sack in the 09 preseason.

 

And another one inches towards the scrap pile

 

This is why players who bust out elsewhere try to stick on somewhere else..ya never know.

 

Welcome to the cut zone..aaron maybin

 

Wow, he was well thought of coming out

Hmm, that is a name of interest

 

This should tell folks that the Bears are sort of hurting for talent, they keep adding Top 10 draft pick bust types, maybe Benson working out for the Bengals has taught them a lesson?

Anyhow, Dolphins waived Brooks Foster yesterday, making room perhaps/

 

Indy is going crazy right now, wonder if Mathis or Freeney are injured?

 

Sure looks like it, they are trying everyone "but" Jerry Hughes, would not surprise if he is traded prior to the season opener.

And AFAIK, A Maybin signed with the Jest, have not seen that one confirmed but rumors were everywhere.

 

Some liked McDaniel coming out, Brown was making to much $$$ for his job this yr and:

Maybin is in trouble in Jest land and:

Bears released the Ghost

For the Jest, McIntyre was a good CFL DT

 

And another one, his career highlight was getting a sack v Jake Long in the preseason.

 

Knew that one was coming, to me, I still roll the dice on him, but with letting Spears go, they do not appear to be in the market for a young passrushing prospect

 

Move over Maybin, Ghost, Harvey, make way for E Brown on the scrap heap.

 

Why Padre, why do you keep an eye on fmr high picks who were supposed to be passrushers, who bust out and wind up on the scrap heap?

Exhibit #1, Jarvis Moss, 6'5 or so, solid but not outstanding athleticism, and here he is...

 

Aaron Maybin got his first sack in the pros vs Bryant McKinnie.

On a pure speed rush, which is what he should have been doing in Buffalo.

 

Well, when you have a player who does one thing well, you have to find situations to put him to succeed.

Maybin maybe gets some snaps on 3rd downs in situations, I suspect he will do better then people think he will do.

 

I couldn't call him terrible Alen, he never played in Buffalo.

And a speed rush is enough if it is a good speed rush, then you work off of it.
