Lmao what i think is so funny is the main excuse people used last year. All i kept hearing about for the difference between 07 and 08 was our defense had alot of injuries. But now we draft 2 rookies and holy shit we have an awesome defense. So are you people that used the injuries as an excuse not going to admit the team was that bad? I was just curious how many will admit they flip all the time instead of sticking with what they believe.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Well I think it was injuries and our defensive coaches. Heck from an outside observer we hardly ever rushed the passer and I could often see when we were going too.

I blame our coaches most of all.

But having some fresh talent should help also. Kevin Greene states that the OLB position is the key position in the 3-4 D and we just got 2 decent OLBers ie matthews and the 7th round pick that can vie for the position.

You can't say that injuries didn't hurt us...I think it was injuries AND the coaching.

And when we switched to the 34, that left a couple holes in the defense. I can't believe that you're not excited about Raji and Matthews.

Overall I'm loving this draft

BJ Raji - they ought to name a cheeseburger after him or something :icon_smile: He's a huge guy that can move, that is extremely rare in this type of pick! He usually has good leverage and he can make plays
A+

Clay Mathews III - I love his potential and his heart, he may have a lot of similarities with Bobby Carpenter (Dallas's career ST'er) but he has a lot more desire than B.C. I also love the fact that with Kevine Greene as an OLB coach he will probably be one for the ages.
A

TJ Lang - A great OT on a mediocre Eastern Michigan team, he could be our starting RT or LG for years to come!!!!
A-

Quinn Johnson - This pick is twofold, number 1 hes a great straight ahead FB who will pound the LB'ers and clear running lanes, and number 2 he's a good short yardage back and blocking back taking away time from Bjax
A

Jamone Meredith - IMO the STEAL of this draft, He has 2nd round talent but a false news report came out that pushed him to us late in the 5th means we get a great LT for little price
A+

Jarius Wynn - This was my only '?' of the draft, hes a slow DE type 3-4 player like Monty just without the burst, however if he can improve his upper-body strength and work on his quickness he could be a great player
B-

Brandon Underwood - a fast CB who is great in zone and man coverage out of Cincinnati, could have been a 3rd round pick if he preformed even only a little bit better in college.
B+

Brad Jones - a fast developmental OLB in the 3-4, he's not afraid of contact and can shed blocks easily, he will probably play ST's this year and seeing how he is fast and sheds blocks he will be great for our KO unit.
A-


overall: A-

I love what Ted Thompson has done with this draft and dumping his BPA strategy for needs this year.

Yeah we should have drafted Michael Crabtree because then our defense would be rock solid!

Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
