I'm still struggling with this pick and not because of the position.

I've just never thought he was that good. I need to read more and watch more on him. Send me articles and youtube clips ppl!!!!

 

I understand where you're coming from being that he doesn't have all-world athleticism (think peppers, hardy, clowney).  He also doesn't have any particular tools that just pop out at you (no wicked spin move, no shove you back 5 yard bullrush).  He's more of a consistent and balanced player.  

 

The only thing that strikes me somewhat as a more "unique" quality is he seems to have a big knack for sniffing out screens.  Also he seems really aware of what is going on and uses his hands very well for batting passes and to make ankle tackles on QBs trying to take off.

 

Other then that he's just a really good prospect.  Good against the run, very good pass rusher, big, fast and athletic.

I know we don't run a 3-4 (making this scenario a little different$, but I'm intrigued by the possibility of Alex Hall as a standup blitzing LB on passing downs coming in behind CJ. One thing I noticed watching Hall is that he is damn fast.

Maybe something like this...

Ealy - Hardy - Short - CJ ^ Hall

Have Hall line-up on the tight end and once the ball is snapped, bump the TE to slow him down and then have Kuechly rotate to pick him up. Hall will then follow CJ in what will likely lead to a sack for Hall because the QB was flushed out of the pocket by Ealy and Hardy.

Good luck defending that.

Just a thought, carry on.

 

 

We don't run a 3-4 but McDermott does dial up some wacky set ups with our front seven.  It isn't too odd to see us drop DEs into pass coverage and have other unexpected assignments for our guys.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
