    Adrian Clayborn

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted · Edited by NickelCity

    The first paragraph of that article sums up what I've seen every time I've had the chance to see him play:

     

    "Pass Rush/Closing ability/Moves and counter moves: A good college pass rusher, Clayborn would struggle as a right defensive end in the NFL. He lacks the speed, secondary moves and agility to make it as a pass rusher. As a 3-4 defensive end, Clayborn will be asked to stop the run and, depending on the scheme, create pressure on the pocket. Does not show an ability to dip his shoulder or roll his hips to turn the corner- this must be learned. Has yet to develop a secondary move and relies purely on strength as a college player. As a college defensive end he is stronger than most tackles- this will not be the case in the NFL."

     

    I worry about this guy. Man I want an impact player in this year's draft, I really like what I'm seeing from Nick Fairley

    Looking ahead to next year, now that the season is shot

    Anyone who thinks that George Edwards has a clue, doesn't.

    There is no game plan for opponents. He does the same thing week after week. He never puts eight in the box to force teams to pass. The LB's are always well off the line of scrimmage.

    He'll never send seven on the pass rush. I mean NEVER. You have to mix it up in this league. He won't take chances to force a big play.

    One interception from a team that had 29 last year? And you think that's all on the players? C'mon.

    The fastest way to improve this team in the offseason and I 'll say it everyday.is bring in a quality def. coordinator (John Fox is my boy). If we don't, we can look forward to a bottom 3 defense again next year.
