Don't know anything about him apart from being an OLB. If he can contribute on ST and legitimately brings more to the table then I'm all for it. 

They run a 3-4 and we run a 4-3.  He was on the short list of first round possibilities at DE last year along with Ogbah, the Henry's, and the pick, Butler.

Hes a DE

 

its these stupid ass 3-4 teams taking hand in dirt 4-3 DEs and trying to turn them in to stand up OLB pass rushers. It ruins them. The NFL is hard enough. Dont take a young guy and make him play out of position. Dropping back into coverage is not something a DE should be doing.

Kid is a prototypical 4-3 SDE 

Horrible fit for a 3-4 OLB.

Would Love to have him if we could pawn off a late pick.  But who would we get rid of for him? Horton?  Were pretty deep at DE 

He was a full hands in dirt DL.  His teamate Shaq Lawson wouldve been the better fit at OLB.  Considering he moved around and stood up and rushed as much as had his hands down

Absolutely get rid of Horton if possible to get Dodd.

Kid is a Kony Ealy clone.  

Not sure how his work ethic is compared to Ealy.

 

Ealy: quietly had 9.5 sacks his last year over shadowed by the other DE.  

6'4 273  34 1/4 arms 4.92 (combine 40), bench 22, 31 vert, 4.45 shuttle.

 

Dodd: overshadowed by Lawson, 12.5 sacks to end

6'5 277  34 arms  4.86 (combine 40), bench 22, 30.5 vert, 4.44 shuttle

He's worth getting for a 5th rounder or later. DE could and be and probably will be our most pressing need next year with Peppers and/or CJ being gone.

What is a deep group this year may not be close next year. Horton isn't garbage, but he's not a starting level DE either. Dodd could be in a 4-3.

Dodd's work ethic in college was great. Not sure now. Would take a physical clone of Ealy in an instant.  Even with 2 teams cutting bait, 25% off teams put a waiver claim on Ealy. Guys with the physical makeup to be a good pass rusher and still stout enough to stop the run don't come along all the time.

If we swing a trade, my first preference by far would be a legit starting caliber outside WR to pair with KB. My second preference would be a legit starting caliber outside corner to pair with Bradberry. DE would be waaaaaaaay down the list.

I agree with you in terms of this year, but DE could instantly be top need again next year.

I agree, but if a team is willing to throw in the towel on him this early I'll pass given our current depth chart. We're already probably going to end up cutting a player we'd like to keep.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
