Greg Little vs series..


WOW!!

Recommended Posts

I'm still not very High on Greg but he has faced some very good competition in the SEC.. So his transition to facing NFL talent might not be as steep. 

Let's take a look at a few Video showing his snaps vs some of the best edge rushers over the years in the SEC..

 

Greg vs Sweat and Simmons twice..

He looked awful at the Combine, but then again Combine drills aren't football games. Orlando Brown had quote possibly the worst Combine performance of all time last year and proved to be a serviceable NFL OT as a rookie. Little didn't look anywhere near as bad as Brown did at the Combine.

I’m not a little fan nor was I excited about trading a high extra 3rd to jump up for him. But he does offer tremendous upside and hope at a position where we haven’t use a high pick on a left tackle since ummm...Gross? Just having a body in camp that is you and was a 5 Star guy who had the tools but hasn’t put them all together gives me hope which is something I havent felt at left tackle in a long time.

I don't think college tape has much value any more for us(as a team, not the fans). He's a physically gifted guy with high upside. It's just a matter if he has it between the ears, IMO. Is he going to buckle in and do what it takes to make the most of those physical abilities. We will see.

hes looks good in pass pro.  

he is kinda ambivalent in his run blocking.

That was pretty much his reputation. We have greater needs in pass protection than run blocking from that position anyway, so that isn't as big of a negative.

It'll be a lot of help for our OL coaches. They'll definitely be scouring his tape looking for weaknesses in his technique and in-game processing to help shore up.

They are probably pretty well acquainted with that from the draft evaluation process. Now they will get a chance to coach him in a practice setting and correct that stuff.

Gonna be awhile before they can truly get to work with him. They were scouting lots of OL leading up to the draft.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
