I hope in time we can discuss Tyrod ? lol love these up and comers ! One of my favorite bits of team building.

We’re still vetting that process right now and trying to find exactly the right guy for that role. And sometimes that changes a little bit, just the complexion of it, based on who you are and the strengths of your players. I know [defensive coordinator Leslie] Frazier and his staff are vetting that out right now.” One player being vetted is Neal. Neal isn’t quite as big as Thompson, who plays closer to 230 pounds, but he hits like a wrecking ball, allowing him to play the run, while having the feet to match up in coverage. Not hearing Neal's name much at OTA but it sounds like he's a puzzle piece McDermott has been looking for: a corner who hits like a linebacker.

Because he looked smart physical reads well and wow he sure uses leverage well on those sure handed tackles. confidence is easy to see.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 ..NOT meant to be a "tear jerker...feel good story" comment, but kids like the lad Neal, Milano, Meatball, etc are my kind of NFL guys....never destined to be in the 1st or 2nd, but it didn't mean a damn thing....they fought, scraped and persevered eventually going in the 5th and hell bent on making EVERYTHING of the opportunity.....only 1,696 are privileged to be employed in the NFL annually and these guys just work their tails off to be there....what is even more gratifying is that they QUIETLY go about their business to be the best....now THAT is "feel good" for me....

Perhaps it truly is best played as a Team Game. as compared to "me" game as the NFL has plenty of. ( yes i know, it truly is a business ) It's a little creepy when anyone calls it , building a culture , when you think about it. But since i like this culture , I am cool with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where they are drafted means nothing the second after they are picked to me..... To me this is where your scouts and gm make their money.....finding those guys in the late rounds that end up being real players.....I look at this draft and think Beane did something really special this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking we should just trade all our picks for like 20 5th round picks and call it a day!

3rdand12 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 taking time to sort out from the weeds which are flowers. College Scouting staff is looking good and Pro scouts are not far behind. Agreed that whaleys pro scouts were pretty good. likely College too . Till Rex started picking his defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) 9 hours ago, whatdrought said: So this isn’t a Neal thread?... I wondered the same thing. I like Neal. The main risk is that some or all of his skills won't translate well to the NFL. That's a pretty big leap from Jacksonville State. There's a good chance he'll be able to contribute in some capacity, however. Edited July 1, 2018 by TigerJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5th is the new 2nd! I honestly didn’t realize he was as big as he is at 6’1” and 202 lbs per article. That’’s bigger than my draft time image for some reason and could allow him to be used in a variety of ways.....hopefully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 3 hours ago, OldTimeAFLGuy said: ...so back to Neal....what do you think Augie?...potential for another 5th round find?..... I recall that after Beane got here he signed a lot of guys to the Scouting department that we were told were up and comers several of whom were taking sideways moves to come to Buffalo ( no doubt though Pegula’s money was a factor as well).. This is where those guys can earn their keep..finding quality players on Day 3 of the draft... Must admit that Neal wasn’t on my radar prior to the draft but have since become optimistic about him.. Ditto Teller who was on my radar and I loved in the 5th..Probably asking a bit much to expect a lot from him this year though... maybe one to break through in 2019..

RocCityRoller Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 IMO Neal could be the steal of the draft. It depends on McDermott scheming him in properly. 34 minutes ago, Wagon Circler said: Just shut up already.
