Estro Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 and he's not that good at pass blocking or run blocking. I'm not a big fan of Solder at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffHead Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 and he's not that good at pass blocking or run blocking. I'm not a big fan of Solder at all. If he's no good at pass blocking or run blocking then he's probably not good at playing offensive line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did look shaky in the Senior Bowl, (no matter what draftniks write) But it does take time for an O-Line to gel so the senior bowl isn't the best display of O-Line talent.

BiggieScooby Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 and he's not that good at pass blocking or run blocking. I'm not a big fan of Solder at all. just saw he gave up 5 sacks in 3 seasons. That's pretty good considering the level of competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 He also only did 21 reps of 225 lbs, which is a huge red flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Solder is pretty bad. He has been sinking like a rock on Maocks board too. was at 1, now down to 4. He will be out of his top 5 by April, and for good reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 just saw he gave up 5 sacks in 3 seasons. That's pretty good considering the level of competition. It's not uncommon to see OT's come out who haven't had a sack attributed to them for a season or two. I'm not sure who is providing the stats, but I assume the teams these players play for. It's possible that the 5 sack figure doesn't really tell you how much pressure he allowed either. Colorado isn't on tv as much as they used to be, but the few times I saw him he did not look dominant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDogg20 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 The TE Green looks like a beast. I love the guy. Yes, I think so as well. Anyone know what round he's projected to go in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 just saw he gave up 5 sacks in 3 seasons. That's pretty good considering the level of competition. i think i remember mike williams never allowing a sack at texas....whoops. but i actually like solder and think he would be a beast for us at rt and if he happens to be there in the 3rd(doubtful) i would love it.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Yes, I think so as well. Anyone know what round he's projected to go in? Don't know. Can the kid block? I tend to like all-around tight ends more than receiving only ones. i think i remember mike williams never allowing a sack at texas....whoops. but i actually like solder and think he would be a beast for us at rt and if he happens to be there in the 3rd(doubtful) i would love it. Depending on how the Bills view him, Solder might be a good value at #34. Is there really a chance that he would slide down to the 3rd round?

DrDawkinstein Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) Don't know. Can the kid block? I tend to like all-around tight ends more than receiving only ones. Depending on how the Bills view him, Solder might be a good value at #34. Is there really a chance that he would slide down to the 3rd round? There is a chance anything can happen in the draft. Everything up until then is just guessing by all of us. Given the general thought that this OT class is weak, it could end up like last years QB clas where even well known QBs were sliding to the 3rd. Depending on what we do in the 1st, Im not sure I would pick Solder if he were there at #34. I think, given the amount of DLs and LBs in this draft, we can go Offense at #3 and then address the front 7 in rounds 2-4. 16 out of the 32 top rated guys on ESPN's page are DLs. That doesnt include LBs. At least a few will fall to us at #34. I would be happy with a draft of: Newton, Heyward, Solder, Matthews (but I dont think Matthews makes it to the 4th. Moch maybe?)

Dennis in NC Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 and he's not that good at pass blocking or run blocking. I'm not a big fan of Solder at all. Is Solder 6'8" or 6'9"? Either way, that seems like a great disadvantage for an OL. Isn't blocking all about leverage? And isn't leverage lost when you are very tall?

CookieG Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 just saw he gave up 5 sacks in 3 seasons. That's pretty good considering the level of competition. I strongly doubt that. This is one game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_VBKVmhyAo Missouri did the same thing to him. Put speed on him and he's in serious trouble. His tech is atrocious, he stands straight up on pass protection. I'm sure there are more than one O-line coach who believe they can fix him. I'm not so sure.

And isn't leverage lost when you are very tall? Usually teams like taller tackles because taller people usually have larger wingspans and longer arms. Most tackles in the NFL I would say are around 6'6" to 6'8" on average. But what would I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobot Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yes, I think so as well. Anyone know what round he's projected to go in? RD6. We have him going #186 to the Ravens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
