A few more G Hardy nuggets

Recommended Posts

As seen in another post, Hardy is having an outstanding year. We all didn't expect much from him- maybe that is our secret to success! Here are some some notable stats:

13th in EPA/G- Players impact on the score of the game directly (CJ 18th)

6th in Tackles (CJ 17th)

6th in Sacks (CJ Tied)

8th in TFL (CJ 45th)

Also factor that he only played 6 games opposed to most DE's with 8 or 7. CJ was in all 7.

Actually Dwan Edwards is one of the top 15 DT's.. Our corner play is middle of the pack, linebackers as a core are top 10.. Now our safeties just blow unicorns. Naka is a joke, Godfrey is a hair above serviceable..

I think Dwan will be the only DT on the squad now, that will be with the team next year.

you know there was a good few college scouting re: hard i remember reading that said the reason for hardy's drop in production his last year at ole miss and some of the reason for JPP's success was because OLs had to roll so much protection over to hardy's side.

hardy was projected to be a really early draft pick had he come out in '09.

    • I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins. 
    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.
