Not really. His agility scores at the combine were terrible, and quite frankly odd given how well he tested otherwise.
There was also the question of his ability to run the full route tree.
Many of us around here were enamoured by his size speed combo and would have been happy to get him at 9, and were elated he was available in the 2nd. Then we traded up for Cody Ford. Ugh.
Von Miller thread at 63 pages.
Dolphins get Tyreke and we’re at 43 pages in a number of hours.
Interesting.
Hill definitely makes them more dynamic, crazy speed on the outside, but will Tua be effective getting it to them? Waddle was basically used in a Beasley role last year. Not sure I’m concerned until they get a QB.
Watched a video of Bruce and Von watching film together last night. He has a ton of respect for Bruce, I wonder if that played a small factor in choosing Buffalo.
Regardless, it’s a fun watch on YouTube for those interested.
Mixed emotions on this one. At times he was an ass. But the guy played his heart out, produced, and showed up even when injured. He undoubtedly helped in Josh’s development and was a part of our evolution as a team.
Wish him well wherever he lands.
I think Hicks has played end in a 3-4 for the Bears. I presume this would be another DT for us?
He’s had some production for an interior lineman, don’t see the Bears enough to know what he’s got left in the tank.
Ok, tall, but all are in the 260-270 range, which isn’t big by NFL DE standards.
If I’m not mistaken, Smith is a similar size, and despite being a 3-4 LB, he plays edge and rushes the passer most snaps.
