pff liking greg little a lot

He certainly passed the eyeball test.  Mercilus is a damn good speed rusher.  I thought he did better than what I expected from him.

Kid is impressive. Eating crow. 

Daryl had a good game to at RG. 

[GRWatcher]

Sometimes with a power rusher all a tackle can do is use the rusher's speed to push him behind and to the side of the QB. Maybe there's a few times when the rusher will win and the QB has to be ready for this. Norv was even rushing more to the left this game with gains. Greg Little did an amazing job. AND GREG LITTLE IS A ROOKIE! {Sorry for shouting, I got excited.}

Did anyone pay attention to how Daryl Williams did at RG? I imagine if he performed well there, that would incentivize Rivera to keep this same lineup (assuming Trai can’t go next week).

Man, imagine locking down legit starters at Edge and LT in a single draft

How do they measure pressures?  I'm like 100% positive Mercilus beat him once. 

He played a good game nonetheless, just skeptical about the 0 pressures.  PFF has always been weird about how they measure that.

PFF is weird about it but I can almost guarantee the Mercilus strip sack you're probably thinking of would not have been attributed to Little.

Yep, Little did his job. Problem was Paradis got pushed way up and Allen could not step up.

It seems most did not notice this little detail.

[MasterAwesome]

Yeah, Allen got flushed out of the pocket and got sacked from behind as he was scrambling right. That wasn’t on Little.

Wasn't he covering Mercilus on the second fumble?

Either way, thought he did a stellar job.

Littles job as a tackle is to push the DE outside and usher him around the pocket /behind the qb... which he did perfectly.  If Kyle would have stepped up in the pocket it would have allowed little to maintain his leverage.  Instead Allen moved to his right (maybe he couldnt go up, idk? )and the DE was able to run right into him and strip sack him from behind.

yeah, that's the one I'll have to see when the coaches film comes out.  Initial thought was Allen but Paradis is certainly possible as well or whatever Van Roten was doing.

Of course he should be the starter. 

 

Of course they will bench him. 

After trading up, proclaiming him the future, and easing him back  at first chance after the concussion I'm not sure the basis of this.

But can he play LT????? Oh wait...
