QuoteTheRaven83 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Fletcher is the best possible result for him and he needs to look up Fletch and get pointers (i.e.make sure you get a lot of snacks for the 2 big DTs in front of you like 10 pounds of ribs).. London Fletcher was his height but outweighed him by almost 20 lbs. Not the same comparison and completely different skill set. or maybe you can just slow your roll and see how it works out? I already know how it's gonna turn out. Practice squad or cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 My point is he plays way faster than his speed and I used Shaq's lower 40 time and game film to illustrate that point. Do you see him playing rush linebacker at 227lbs or adding weight. That could change how fast he is. I'm still seeing him having the best shot at safety.

Coach Tuesday Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Again, if IK can make the team, this guy can - he's actually athletic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Yep. Shaq's an edge setter and can rush the passer. Our run D should be tough this year. Rags can punish and mop up runners too. I see Striker as our SS. He's an excellent blitzer. I'd love to see him light up Edelman a few times. I think considering where and when he will line up is part of the attraction. Hard to think he will get around many OTs who are not already engaged. Or a Defensive overloaded side. But if so, he does get there quick enough for even the NFL imo. Lets see how he handles the NFL speed and strength. Rooting for him, because of his play mostly. Again, if IK can make the team, this guy can - he's actually athletic... no kidding, The more I watched him the more i wondered wtf is this all about.

4BillsintheBurgh Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I know you had other conversations about speed off the line, but I wanted to throw another tangent thought in. (FTR I just said on the other thread that Striker is a one trick pony). Striker is asked to run around players and Shaq is asked to run through them (many times making a read first). I still need to see a whole game of Strikers, but he seems to excel at one thing (Edge rushing the passer). In the NFL, where tackles have better feet/technique, I think this strategy will be less effective. Shaq (whose game tape I've seen a lot of) on almost every play is required to make run/pass/edge reads, and then run through OTs to set the edge on his rush. I think scheme requirements explains their difference in speed off the ball (not some sort of "football" versus "spandex" speed). For me measurables come in during pass coverage. The highlight video in the UDFA thread showed ONE pass break up for Striker. Shaq doesn't break pass plays up, but he does force throws not to be thrown (and if they are thrown he punishes the receiver). Why are we even comparing our 1st round pick to a UDFA? Our #1 is better. Our UDFA is really good pass rusher, but is a really good edge rusher. +1 If you want to watch the film go ahead but I think you nailed it. For example Kujo missed him a couple times, but most of the time once Kujo got his hands on him it was over. It'd be nice if he developed some counter moves, but I think it's going to be tough for him to be effective in the nfl. Maybe special teams will be the spot for him.

Blokestradamus Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Still think his best fit would be a part-time contributor as a Will. Not athletic enough to be a Will for me. A natural fit never jumped out for me. Loved his college career. Smart dude, I hope someone gives him a shot. If not, grad assistant at Oklahoma, get him coaching.

Kelly the Dog Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Still think his best fit would be a part-time contributor as a Will. They really should create a new position for the NFL, similar to what the Bills tried to do with Bryan Scott a few years ago. A LB sized safety that is used in nickel and dime packages that comes up and covers TEs and can blitz or otherwise move all over the field. In a game with so many specialized packages you would think there would be room for such a player. If they could get Striker to cover TEs, which I imagine he could be taught to do, he could become a menace on blitzes and terrorize receivers coming across the middle.

Beef Jerky Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 He went undrafted because of his size, but this dude is a baller. Incredible instincts, athleticism, blitz ability, and tackling. I think if he can put on a little weight, he can become one of the steals of the draft. Love that we got him. Maybe Next Year Guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
