Best guess right now has our FO batting around .750 overall on their moves, but suddenly they suck at scouting or using picks. Come on man.

pnies20 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 My comparison for this guy? Dante Fowler Both players were hybrid LB/Edge players in college. Both have the ability to come off the edge but make splash plays coming from off the ball. If you’ll remember, very few of Fowler’s plays came from the edge in college. Takitaki is taking the opposite route into the pros and moving to SAM while Fowler moved almost exclusively to edge. Takitaki will be solid in coverage with speed to flow to the ball and strength to take on OL. I like the pick just wish it would’ve been a bit later.

I am fairly certain this dude will be inactive most if not all games. That youtube video someone shared last night sucked. Most plays he was easily funneled away from the action and came streaking up several seconds after the olay had ended. Granted, it had to be a video designed to make him look bad since he led the team in tackles, but mission accomplished. It made him look like beau bell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s going to potentially take Jamie Collins spot. I think one of our picks ends up getting traded for a LB or we sign Zach Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collins still could make some splash plays even while giving half effort. This kid looked like he was easy to take out of the play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus athlete at least, could be a sideline to sideline guy. @mistakey Just read how much of a freak athlete he is with numbers and he has all of these high rated scores for athleticism and tackle rate. Seems like a pick made by the analytics team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie man Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Does Mack have a better career?!?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 I think mack and takitaki are competing for one spot on the roster, kirkseys, neither can replace schobert as a defensive leader. Sione doesnt know football and mack isnt a leader. The only person on the team to replace schobert is kirksey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only person on the team to replace schobert is kirksey Kirksey is gone--this upcoming year is seeing who can fully take his spot between Mack/Takitaki. Given where they took Takitaki, I would believe he is in their future plans unless he completely tanks. That actually leaves Mack in a weird spot as being a rotational guy maybe on passing downs and Takitaki probably plays on early run downs.

Guys like Hines and Armstrong were on the roster last season, these guys are taking their spots. 11 minutes ago, Kiwibrown said: kirkseys, neither can replace schobert as a defensive leader. Year 1? Correct. Next year? Eh, maybe. 11 minutes ago, Kiwibrown said: Sione doesnt know football What? This is nonsensical, what are you basing this on? 11 minutes ago, Kiwibrown said: The only person on the team to replace schobert is kirksey This year yes, but next year Avery will be in his 3rd year, just like Schobert was last year. Schobert’s fine, but he’s hardly irreplaceable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Defenses are changing with the times. Pretty soon teams will have 5 linebackers max on their roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but they may also just have a more varied skill set. Someone who can play specifically as a sub package guy, someone who can rush the passer, etc. The thing about the numbers at LB is they make up a lot of your kick coverage teams.
