WindyCity Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I went back and watched James Daniels against the Jets. The scoring breakdown is as follows, ++: dominant rep +: good rep x: push, or nothing to do -: bad rep --: brutal rep that effected the play Run ++:5 +:14 X: 5 -: 7 -There were a number of plays where Daniels flat out destroyed people in the run game. His lower body power is really impressive and he digs DLmen out and moves them. -The long Cohen run he pancakes Henry Anderson and Cohen cuts right behind him. -Howard TD he blocks down like a snow plow and Howard goes off his *** into the endzone. -He had a couple of vicious pull blocks and a couple where he missed guys running underneath him -His bad reps were mostly technique breakdowns where he lost his feet and did not generate any drive. -He also needs to slow down at the 2nd level as he got there out of control and missed the speedy Jets LB. Overall impression: He may be the Bears most physical run blocker right now after 1 start. Pass +: 20 X: 6 -: 6 --: 1 -I was impressed with the consistency I saw in his pass blocking. He did a really nice job of setting his base and landing his punch and his long arms are evident on tape. -When the guy was in front of him he very rarely lost the rep, the -- was a quick swim from Sheppard that beat him clean for a pressure and incompletetion. -He struggled some with the blitzes and stunts. I dinged him for another couple pressures when he did not recognize the twist and was unable to recover. -Daniels has an incredible base. There were a number of plays where he lost the rep early, but was able to drop his hips and shut down the bull rush after a recovery. Overall: I really liked what I saw and the issues were not physical, but recognition which will come with time and experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get man strength usually until mid 20s. He could be a beast in a few years. Still don't know why they didn't stick him at center from day 1 and let him grow along with the young team.

The decision not to move Cody was bc of the desire to keep Mitch happy. As long as there arent snap issues I'm fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 James Daniels can play. The physical tools pop off the tape. He had no business falling to 29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big deal was made about his size. Before the combine everybody thought he was sub 290. The combine he showed up at 305 every bit as athletic as he played. Afterwards he said he could get to 310 in a weekend if he wanted to. Hearing hes pretty close to 320 now, still looks ridiculous with the athleticism.

It was a good draft for g/c's. 39 is still pretty high for a guard/center. Q. Nelson Ragnow Price Hernandez Smith Were the guys drafted ahead of him. They were all highly thought of too.
