Burns is fast and explosive as a pass rusher but just gets obliterated when a blocker squares him up. Haason Reddick looks like the better pass rusher to me? Very interesting to see Darnold now he's escaped the debacle that is the Jets....... Burns has a sack in every game this season and was living in the backfield. He still needs to grow into his body but he has the explosiveness and bend to be a premier pass rusher. I was the biggest Haason Reddick fanboy on the forum entering free agency last year, dude is nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the biggest Haason Reddick fanboy on the forum entering free agency last year, dude is nasty. Burns is a good pass rusher for sure, like I say, he has explosiveness and real flexibility but his sack he was totally unblocked and even then nearly did an Arden Key. He flashed for sure but Crosby looks a much better overall player to me. Reddick just looks like lightning out there, so sudden. I like the look of Luvu too, I remember him from playing with the Jets a couple years ago where he looked promising. Very fast and direct. Happy overall we got Crosby though, he looks stronger this year and his motor is just constantly running hot. I think you hit the nail on the head in that Burns still has to grow into his body and fill out, I don't think he's ever going to be a good run defender but he's got something 95% don't as far as his pass rush athleticism.

That would have been something. TBH I thought Ferrell would have been a very good player though, I did like him if I'm honest but he's not been remotely worth the pick so far....... He's looking more and more like a complete bust every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back I’m guessing some analytics factored into Kolton Miller being selected because of his Athletic Profile. Then you have Clelin Ferrell well… a robotic try hard type. Interesting dynamic a ying and yang if you will when coming to selecting players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The headline said "Raiders pushed to make a trade for Dillard" but the push was a bleacher report writer saying they should do it, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen was more of a need but White adds that speed and attacking LB. We had Morrow, Whitehead, and Burufict that year. White would play a similar role to what he does in TB next to Morrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
