Shanedorf Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Here's a nice breakdown on some Lenzi Pipkins plays from last year. He's got Whitt, Tramon and House to help him make the leap in 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Here's Tramon commenting on Pettine's defense yesterday: The veteran cornerback was extremely impressed by Pettine in 2015. “It’s very aggressive, man,” Williams said of Pettine’s scheme. “You have to be smart. It’s simple but it’s aggressive. “There has to be a lot of smart guys on the field. Me being in that defense, I think I can guide some guys and teach some guys what they need to know in this defense. That’s why I think the move made sense.” I think that's interesting in terms of signing vets like Williams and House - they buy some time to develop and smarten up the youngsters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 In addition to any new faces....Here's the Defensive Leapers that Pettine has to work with this year. 11 young defenders with some upside going into 2018 2017 Kevin King, Josh Jones, Montravious Adams, Vince Biegel 2016 Kenny Clark, Kyler Fackrell, Blake Martinez, Dean Lowery 2015 Quentin Rollins, Jake Ryan 2014 HaHa...

ugLymayNe Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I can't wait until Gutey makes Fackrell one of the first cuts in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really have no idea what TT was thinking with that Fackrell pick. He was basically a shot in the dark and not close to the athletic profile they covet.

Yes. However, even if Gut drafts a player at any position other than an edge in round 1, Fackrell should still be cut immediately. And if Ward is the pick (or if another CB is drafted in rounds 1-3), Rollins should likewise be allowed to take his talents elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst part is 3 of them have converted to ILB Definitely agree but EDGE is pretty hard to find in the later rounds. The impact edge players around the league are usually 1st rounders and high first rounders at that. Which is why I am a pretty big advocate of going Landry at 14.

The worst part is 3 of them have converted to ILB Where they continued to suck at ILB. Would love to know whose brilliant idea it was to take those who flamed out at OLB and put them at ILB over and over again the past 7 years. Some are so conditioned to this failed OLB to ILB model of player development that they are even entertaining the notion of Fackrell at ILB. Yuck.

Norm Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Do you bother trying to move Fack? Don't intend to keep him on the 53 but the 90 is fine either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
