A few more G Hardy nuggets

Hardy is a decent DE but I think he could be better if he paid more attention and worked at it.

He seems to do better than average in the beginning and then falls off once teams start accounting for him but either way he makes an impact. For a sixth rounder, if you feel like accounting for that, he is great. I think next year is his contract year and I hope we are able to keep him around with all of Hurney's fug ups.

I'm actually pleased with our DE play this yr. One of the few bright spots

Yes. most DEs take 2 years to come around. Look at the best (except for that freak Peirre Paul) in the NFL and check out their rookie and second year stats.

Hardy is where CJ was when he broke out. Alexander and Keiser are developing nicely. We are actually deep at DE.

I am also not sure how I feel about CB.--I think the areas of need are S and DT.

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.

SI's 2009 mock had Hardy going number one overall interestingly:

it's always fun to go back to those old articles and see how things shake out. suh as the third best d lineman available lol.

yep. i remember that people talked a lot about his taletn and potentialm but the thing that had people doubting him was his drive. i heard people familiar with ole miss describing hardy as just a wierd guy.

it sounded to me like a high maintenence guy with a high upside that we ay have tapped into. the key is keeping him motivated and driven.

Hardy was playing Defensive Tackle against the Bears but it don't matter where he comes from he's bringing it!!!!!!

The motor cycle wreck hurt him a lot last year. He sure is a bright spot in our defense but they been doing pretty good.

They got run over by the Giants but over all if offense played to same level as our Big D we would have a lot more wins!!!!!!!!

Go Hardy or should I say Kraken Attack!!!!

He played SOME DT. He had more time at DE. But yeah he was bringing it.

I thought Hardy was worthless a week ago? Man, this place sure is fickle.

Look bro, I love Megadeth my self but I'm personally starting to get tired of seeing posts like this. Complaining about how the Huddle is or used to be is counter productive. Let's build, rather than destroying this forum.

    • 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.
