It's so bad, the coaches and GM are even commenting on his look and how he doesn't fit the billing of an NFL WR.  😂😂 Definitely a guy to root for.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also had a full athletic profile on Mack and he projected well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chali21 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I’m not too worried about Ferrell. I honestly don’t care if he has a solid career. If he’s a run defender that gets 7-9 sacks a year that’ll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Woodson got beat quite a bit the first half of his rookie season but improved with the experience. Hopefully all our rookies get some playing time and improve too. Also hoping Miller's made huge strides with weight gain and playing through injuries last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take an edge player that early, especially with as bad as our pass rush was last season, you're drafting him to be a pass-rush specialist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 3 practices... Maybe, show some restraint. Rookies on the Dline take time to adjust to the speed and the overall mental aspects of the game. Mack was actually worth a top 5 pick though, he was an elite athlete. Ferrell was over-drafted because of need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 4 hours ago, big_palooka said: Reminder... Mack didn't flash anything in preseason. They let him play into the 4th quarter of the last preseason game just to get a sack. People were legit calling Mack a bust after preseason around here. Mack =/= Ferrell It's like saying you shouldn't doubt your 6th round QB because Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round and struggled in his first preseason. There's no correlation. Mack was a much better player than Ferrell coming out of college. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OG_C2X Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 If Mayock had his old seat at NFL Network, for 3 months prior to the draft all we would have heard about was how great Ferrell was and there would be no one angry about Ferrell's pick at #4. I am not worried about him. Looking at Mack vs Ferrell coming out I had similar grades on both. I had some major concerns about Mack coming out, and they showed in his first camp and preseason, but he worked hard in his first 18 months as a professional and developed into an elite player coming into year 2. I think Ferrell can come along just the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agarcia34 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Vic mentioned on the podcast that they have moved Ferrell inside at times during nickel packages. Haven’t seen that mentioned at all before from anyone so that’s is interesting and something to keep an eye on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunther probably plans to use Ferrell how he would've used Mack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
