Dan Conner


Hairless Cat

Recommended Posts

did any of the rest of you hear the Mic mixon comment tonite about Conner? He said he was talking to jordan Gross right after a practice play when Gross looked like he was ready to puke and Gross was saying that conner had just hit him harder than anyone else had ever hit him before. Apparently Brad Hoover was right there and said something like " yeah He hit me the same way".

8 tackles tonite.

I think we have something to look forward to in Conner.

Connor and Leman both had good games. Both can contribute on ST but we shouldn't expect anything more this season (barring injury of course). Diggs, Beason and Davis have the starting roles locked up and Connor may get spot duty bc the coaches do sound high on him, but it'll be at least another yr before he see's much playing time and he'll need to convert to an outside position.

One thing I did notice with our LB's last night is that they were switching positions alot. Meeks seems to like to shift the LB's to one side almost creating an extra DL and playing with 2 LBs. When they did this they would bring a safety up from the secondary close to the LBs for backside run support. Very interesting.

    • It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.   
    • We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.
    • I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
