The Nick Hayden Project...

[scpanther22]

I think that's a sign that our d-line may have some issues.

Landri was not a bad player in jacksonville..He just did not fit that 3-4 they tried.he is a pure 3tech.

You guys better stop saying mean things like that about Hayden...

Jangler might hear you.

Landri was not a bad player in jacksonville..He just did not fit that 3-4 they tried.he is a pure 3tech.

He is 4th DT on the roster type material. Nothing more. When he is running with your starters, there is a problem.

“Inside, I think we tried to address that last year in a sense that we traded our fifth- and sixth-round draft choices for Louis Leonard and Tank Tyler and we feel like they can help us. We picked up Derek Landri off waivers from Jacksonville at the end of the year and we have Corvey Irvin. And we signed Ed Johnson in the off-season. Andre Neblett is a rookie free agent out of Temple who has had a very good camp. So we’ll see. We have guys who can compete there and that is an interesting position to watch in the preseason.”

But no mention of Hayden in there...

You think Foxy is gonna cry when he has to cut him? Or do we keep 5 dts ahahahah!

[Jangler]

There can be only one.

[MurkN]

When I checked the rosters on Madden 11, they had Nick Hayden starting.

I could see us keeping 5 DTs

Louis Leonard

Derek Landri

Corvey Irvin

Ed Johnson

Tank tyler

no way krub was harder on hayden than me. i had lot sort of material on the fellow, all of which shared a simple principle; semi-wet mud puddle > nick hayden. nick was the 1,952 rank player in the nfl(i included practice squads)

BUT i must state he did play ALOT better in last few games. Even to thee point where i ranked him above other DTs:eek: No BS he looked and played the part of a 4th DT.

he was a project and was a good choice by the front office at that. anytime you get a hard worker that keeps his mouth shut, thats already 50% of the formula .

he was NOT a meast, in terms of core, hips, and legs. all of which WAAAAAY more important playing in teh trenches. shoulders, chest, arms = tarzan on juice .

I forgot about Corey Irvin for some reason. Dudes a godamn 3rd round draft pick.

[Snake]

When he was drafted he was the "strongest" DT in that draft class.

I think the idea was to bulk him up, give him work with his Point of Attack skills, and make him into a Carstens Clone. A decent at everything/ the starter needs a breather / 10 snaps a game kind of player. Problem is he got pushed into the lineup early and beat like a drum. Fox love charity cases that work hard, so I wouldn't be surprised if he lingers around longer than expected.

I think he also fit the Trgo system more then Meeks. He is like you said strong more then fast. If we would let him get bigger he prob would be decent but at his size right now he is going to get pushed around.

Well same goes for Taylor. He had a few sacks his rookie year as a Jack LB in Trgos system. He just dose not fit Meeks system very well though.

[PantherDude]

I imagine he will be put back on PS. I do agree he probably fit Trgo's system than Meeks.

I could definitely see us keeping those five guys. Of course, seems like we're keeping four quarterbacks and three kickers, so it only makes sense they'll keep four DTs. You know, considering it's our weakest position and all.
