  1. hmm , must be a mystery .... or a stumper
  2. does pff have a stat for D-lineman for occupying 2 blockers or having a chip block assigned to them? just curious... Also along those lines, how do they evaluate DT's considering there are two different types of Dt's really? The pluggers and the penetrators...
  3. Mario is elite , period (and it's not just about sacks). If someone can't see that, they need to watch more tape/film/replays of him playing. He is a top 5 DE.
  4. That plus I bet there was other competition for Watkins which upped the Ante ...
  5. I think the 40 fronts will be much more similar to last season's 40 fronts than most people think. LOTS of assumptions going on about Schwartz's defense but he has never said he's going to a traditional 4-3 - he said there would be SOME tweaks and a lot of what was already working last year from everything I have seen at least.
  6. I was right with you til the last part there... While that may be true, Whaley still relies deeply on Nix's insight on a regular basis. To add, take a look at the pics from the war room on the bills website last night. Nix knows players, period. Better than most. They all have failures...
  7. C. Biscuit97 - you're right I think he will be an asset to the 49ers, but to me this is as much about playing time for Woods Watkins Goodwin and Williams as it is cap$
  8. You will Bill... He will be Whaley's Hines Ward (or hopefully even better). Of course nothing is a sure fire hit but the odds are as good as they ever get.
  9. regardless of our opinions of the colorful Stevie Johnson (I happen to like the guy), this move is largely about playing time for Watkins, Woods, Williams and Goodwin - 3 of which they really can't afford to NOT have on the field and 2 of which are likely going to surpass Stevie in ability and consistency THIS season.
  10. You know our guy #83 likes what he's seen in him ;-)
  11. why do we look for these "rankings" by "experts" the day after a draft when we know there is ZERO credibility to them? Save yourself some stress and don't bother... Just me
  12. He'll get on board once he sees the kid play a bit. He's a bruising, fast, high twitch, workaholic, humble WR. I am shocked they pulled the trigger but LOVE the player.
  13. Sometimes you just gotta stop pissing in your own cheerios every morning. It's amazing how perspective on things changes thereafter.
  14. Shoulda been smoking the real stuff at least. C'mon Dareus!
  15. Nothing here that I disagree with. And to add , like Whaley has already indicated numerous times, he likely took all that research and leg work and probably ran some thoughts and maybe some film by mr. Nix as a valued expert on such player evals. Or maybe Nix looked at the film early on and then Whaley did the leg work. Who knows? it doesn't matter. But there is no reason to believe it was not a collaboration.
  16. It isn't. So yes, it could be Robinson/Watkins/Mack.
  17. some scary logic and thoughts there, just my opinion. Regarding my portion - Whaley has been with the team 3 years, only 2 of which he had any say so not sure what the 15 year thing is you are referring to. I certainly didn't say this is the way they've always done it. (Clearly not under T.D. for example ). But whatever... too hard for you to believe apparently that Nix is one of the most useful set of eyes in recent league history regarding player personnel evaluation. It's all good.
  18. I don't think I'd be overly excited about the Bills picking Martin. However, with that said, I think he is EXACTLY who the Patriots would pick if they were far enough up in the draft (even in our spot). Sure he's the 4th rated OT, but he's also the #1 C and #1 G. That's a huge benefit to a team's depth chart! Long term, I'm sure he would turn out to be a good pick but certainly not one that would get the fans excited.
  19. I don't think Whaley lied when he said about 30 different times over the past 2 years that the decisions are a joint effort. I believe they really do get together on it and value each other's opinions. I don't understand why it's hard to believe. It's the best way for an organization to function at the top and I'm glad they subscribe to it.
  20. Seriously? And you know what they ask him to do ? No you don't. He isn't a plugger NT and I'm guessing none of his coaches ever mistook him for one.
  21. A nice proactive move that doesn't hurt us this year while they evaluate him and his performance. I like it.
  22. RIP Mr. Wilson
