muggins Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Lol, a DE from South Dakota State instead of Tony Pike. These rednecks in charge are hilariously out of touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Lol, a DE from South Dakota State instead of Tony Pike. These rednecks in charge are hilariously out of touch. Please. Every team has now passed on Pike at least 5 times. And everything I've read about him says injury-prone product of the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDS Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 Attached is an excerpt about Danny's Pro chances from the Sporting News. "South Dakota State DE Danny Batten is a small-school prospect who is causing a lot of chatter. Batten (6'2 3/4, 24) has been impressive with his ability to impact games rushing the passer, chasing down running plays and making plays when dropping into coverage. Batten plays with great passion and could be an ideal development prospect with the potential to become a starter. Batten could become a mid-round pick if he performs well at the postseason all-star games against improved competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strive_for_five_guy Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Lol, a DE from South Dakota State instead of Tony Pike. These rednecks in charge are hilariously out of touch. Come on, you act like Pike is a sure thing to come in a be better than Edwards, Brohm or Fitzpatrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Adams Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Lol, a DE from South Dakota State instead of Tony Pike. These rednecks in charge are hilariously out of touch. It's good to know you're more in touch than the 32 teams that each invest 10s of millions into scouting...but have passed on Pike for 6 rounds.

Curse Of Rusty Jones Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1278737 Pass rush: Often used on the strong side because of his run-stopping ability, so pass rush came mostly from hustle and effort. Keeps coming after initial punch from tackle. Has good speed, flexibility and hand play to turn the corner if used that way. Stood up on some occasions to blitz inside gaps or come off the edge. Keeps his eyes in the backfield and gets hands up to deflect passes, but does not own the length to block many. Run defense: Plays with leverage, standing strong against much bigger offensive tackles and able to disengage to reach the ball when it comes by him. Also moves down the line while engaged. Comes downhill when standing up to blow up fullbacks or attack the ballcarrier. Maintains containment on his side of the line. Rips off tight end blocks easily with strong hands. Will be engulfed by NFL tackles. Explosion: Lacks elite quickness or pop for a strong-side defensive end but uses violent hands and has enough get-off to pressure the tackle's outside shoulder on a pass rush. Strength: Plays with leverage and is quite strong for his size but lacks the bulk to turn tackles or push the pocket at the next level. May be best off playing linebacker in order to match up against tight ends or get the jump on tackles off the edge. Should handle most tight ends playing the nine-technique against the run and in coverage. Tackling: Exceptional hustle and chase on the edge, whether the play is in front of or behind him. Plays low and changes directions well. Wraps and rarely lets go, even though his arms are not as long as many NFL defenders. Goes through the ballcarrier and delivers a serious blow on almost every tackle. Intangibles: Durable, consistent, high-effort performer who plays hard through the fourth quarter. Vocal leader who congratulates teammates and lets them know when they did not complete their assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
