Devon Still 2011 Highlights


CardiacCats

Recommended Posts

I was pumped to find this, very rarely do you find a highlight/mix video of a defensive player, especially a defensive tackle, this just shows how much big plays he made this year. I didn't get to watch much of Penn St this year, but this kid is a force in both the run and pass game, when their is only one guy on him it almost seems he has a cakewalk to the backfield every time.

not at all sold regardless of how impressive his highlight reel is.

he just doesn't seem aggressive or dominant enough.

i don't like him as a top 10 candidate. i don't think he'll be an immediate impact kind of guy. he'd be as much a project as any DT coming out of college. it would take a couple years before we see what he can do and i just don't think it would be worth it.

people like him there because they want so much for there to be a DT that they are willing to sacrifice quality for filling a need.

he won't be the BPA there. not even close, imo.

i do like the potential he has a a run stuffer, but it's just not enough to warrant taking too early.

Upshaw is a 3-4 OLB, simply wouldn't fit here.

Still isn't good enough to rate a top 10 pick with our needs.

Kirkpatrick to me is a no brainer.

Many draft guru's think that Claiborne and Kirkpatrick both will be gone by our pick. Then what?

I'd take Still over Kirkpatrick (injury prone and not great at actual coverage) or Coples (half of Pepper's talent with all of his downside).

All this poo will change in two months anyhow. This time last year (after Luck decided not to declare), Fairley was the high percentage #1.

There were some people who said that about Von miller last year, I don't think it's too far fetched to take him

I agree. If he really runs a 4.5+ at the combine like they think he will.. he could play any scheme very well.

Still is also injury prone. he tore a acl, and this year battle had minor injuries so.........Fairley also did something that Still doesnt do which is get to the QB and look were he went.

    • Mike Davis is like yeah, why would these coaches expect me to watch film on our next opponent if I'm playing good.  Yeah, I really don't pay attention to a lot of stuff around me if I'm doing good.   also Mike Davis, how dare they give all the reps to CMC.  from just listening to that interview, I think Mike Davis likely was often in Mike Davis' way and he can't comprehend that aspect.  Even his story of why he hated people.....was weird.  He hated Steve Spurrier because Spurrier was like hey Mike, Marcus Lattimore left...and we need you to step up into that role/void and be more for us.   And Mike Davis was like, can you believe that motha trucka!! Nah Steve.  Just give me the ball and leave me alone (paraphrasing it all obviously but that was the gist). 
    • Unless he's 1,000%, just sit him an extra week at this point to let him get his legs back under him. I want to see him out there as much as the next guy, but this was a serious thing and I'd rather wait an extra week than put him out one day too early and risk something going wrong, play the long game for once.
    • God, these posts are really starting to piss me off If we're relying on Moore, Idzik, and Canales to carry that weight, then we're royally screwing over our young WR room.  It's not that those guys can't help with some of it, but these young promising WRs are going to miss out on a lot of learning that can only be provided by the vets on the team.   You do realize that coaches spend ZERO time in the locker room, right?   They are only in there just before games and at halftime, but the rest of the week, they have their own locker room, they only spend time with the players on the field and in the film room.  There is soooooo much time that you're leaving unaccounted for where players are working together to get better. Players are constantly talking about their game and how they can improve while they're in the locker room.  If you think career long special teamer David Moore is going to be able to carry that water in the locker room, then you're sorely and woefully mistaken. Even beyond that, if a coach pulls a player aside to give advice between series, that still means there are 4-5 other WRs who aren't getting individual advice, where that's normally a time a vet like Thielen is going over with them what he's seeing out there and how they can do X, Y, or Z to do A, B, or C better on the next drive.
