Problem is he only played 9 games last Fall.. Even in 2017 he has only 5.5 sacks. Plus he just created his own sports agency. I wonder if he is already looking more to after the NFL before he even gets there. I wonder where his focus will be?

Only played 9 games last fall.

How many games did Bosa play last fall?  Is his stock going to take a hit?  Gary only played 9 games due to injury.  Bosa was going to be out until the last few games with a injury, yet he ended up later deciding to just shut it down.  

 

Even in 2017 he only had 5.5 sacks

He's been playing a 3-4 DE in college.  While many think he is a better fit as a 4-3 DE.  He has been taking on double and even Triple Teams

So its understandable he didnt have Huge Sack totals.

 

I wonder if he is already looking more to after the NFL before he even gets there.

Every player is.  Every player has things setup.

Maybe Bosa will be overrated also.  Hard to say what a player will do but Gary's injuries should be a concern. He is only a junior so there isn't that much tape to suggest he will be great either.   Plus being a 3-4 DE in college isn't the big deal it in in the NFL. You don't get double teamed by great players every game like in the NFL. So honestly 5.5 sacks is not great. As for thinking about after the NFL, most folks don't start restaurants or businesses for example until after they actually play and establish themselves. The question isn't about being a go-getter or being smart simply where is his focus going to be.

Again

Both Bosa and Gary had injuries last year.

One, Bosa's was more severe and required him to miss about 80% of the season.  No one even mentions it and he is projected #1 by most

Gary, had a injury that only required him to miss 4 game.  Yet that will hurt his stock unlike Bosa's?

 

Also the 3-4 DE thing.  It goes more into what is required by the player.  Gary is a Freak.  And thought as a 4-3 DE.  A guy who sets the edge yet can still make a move inside.  What he is having to do at 3-4 DE is directly take on OGs and rush inside.  The OLBs are setting the edge like 4-3 DEs.  So he is a bad fit. 

You think Pep could play the same spot as KCs Chris Jones, Jets Leonard Williams, Pitts Steven Tuitt in his prime?  No!

Not saying you’re wrong, but I won’t hold that against someone bettering them selves for a career or job long term especially one that has the average length of 4 years

Lack of production always scares me.  It’s not like the competition is going to get easier but the skill set is tempting reliably if he fell to 16.

If he falls it will depend on several factors. Namely how Sweat and Ferrell do, the could be competing for some of the same teams.  Also the number of QBs that go early

also apparently he has started his own sport agency.

Generally speaking, I agree. But, then again, JJ Watt only had 11.5 sacks in his entire college career (Gary has 9.5) and never had more than 7 in a single season. There wasn't much there in terms of statistical production to suggest that he was going to become the sack monster that he ultimately became.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
