Jack Mewhort?

Jack had a couple off games this year, but the first 4 were excellent and I think his struggles were due to his injury more than hitting a rookie wall or regression etc... Even in the game against Jax last week, he was the strength of the line. He's only allowed 1 sack this year if I remember right and he's starting to be a consistent part of the line week after week. As said above, the left side of the line with him and Constanzo is our strength. We needed a bullseye without a first rounder in the draft, and Mewhort is definitely that.

He's been really good' but the line "needs sorting 1st and 2nd 'round next draft on centre and right guard' then new "o line coach" maybe jeff saturday. then let grow together protect luck with our weapons and skys the limit. No more grammar police I know its bad.

I didn't like the pick when we drafted him, I thought he was a 3rd rounder, but I'm glad we got him and Grigson did a good job with him and I wasn't  impressed with our draft this year.. the other guards I thought were available and better are not doing near as well...

I agree I think he will become a Beast in a couple years and is having a good Rookie season

Definitely a new oline coach imo. This year we need a safety and possibly another cb in the first and second round

I think he was a good draft pick overll, but he's still learning and has growing pains at different times just like any rookie.  For instance on the run that Boom Herron fumbled down in the red zone it was Mewhort that got driven all the way back into Herrons path which kind of skewed the read he was going to make.  Overall I think he has plenty of promise though.

The OL problems have not been at C, LG, or LT

Center hasn't been as bad, but it's absolutely an area of concern. I've watched Harrison make a number of mistakes every game. He's shown flashes, but he's made some crucial errors as well. I'm not sold on him as of now. Maybe in a year or so, but if we want to make a super bowl run, I would feel soooo much better if we switched back to Shipley.

our interior O Linemen need to have 1 thing in particular drilled into there heads.........When pass blocking NEVER turn sideways and reach for a D Lineman because you open a hole for a stunting D Lineman or Linebacker to run right through, Instead stay facing front using either your left or right hand to hold off that D Lineman while guarding for a stunting d lineman or a blitzing linebacker

    • Did you miss Buckner's new extension? The one with the large signing bonus and void years? 
    • I like Latu, but don't you think there's a significant number of teams that are scared off by his medical? And then a couple more who will downgrade him because of his age?
    • yeah pretty much what I figured.  If they are going to start mixing up coverages and running more man coverage, then sure grab a CB in the first.  If they're going to continue being a mostly zone team regardless, then no, no round 1 CB.
    • The mission is to build something that has us competing with the best of the best. This is a season for AR to get tuned up.  Who do you think will be the right guys on our roster now to take us to an AFC Championship game?  It's not Smith, Fries, and we likely can't get there with more than 2-3 of our current back seven.  I would offer Buckner to the Bears as part of a trade for 9. Eberflus wants to have a great D so maybe he bites.  Then hopefully trade back 2-3 spots for a good pick.  I'd love to come out of the draft with Latham and the Byron Murphy II. And come out of the draft with RG Bebe.
    • I think he's a little overrated as a corner prospect. Doesn't mean I don't like him, I do. But I was hearing about how incredibly athletic he is, people were talking about him like he was a lockdown defender, then I watch him for a couple games and I don't see that. So at first I was pretty down on him. Then I went back and watched him with my expectations much lower, and I see what he has to offer.   He's definitely athletic, but not the standout, premier athlete people were making him out to be at first. Watching his high school basketball videos helped me contextualize his athleticism, there's plenty of burst there. He has some struggles flipping his hips and staying connected late in the down. He's feisty and physical, plays the run with enthusiasm, tackles well, and he has explosiveness. He's better in shorter areas when he doesn't have to try to keep up with a receiver with elite speed. I know he ran 4.43, but it wasn't a pro day, it was a private workout. I discount timed speeds at pro days, and definitely at private workouts. To me, he's closer to 4.5 than 4.4, and that's what I expected when watching him play.   To me, he's a safety/nickel prospect, not a boundary corner. And if he were looked at as a boundary corner, I think his arm length would probably disqualify him for the Colts, at least in the first round. And I think the Colts already view corner as a Day 2 position. He's said all the right things about playing multiple positions. And while I don't know how the new rules will affect kickoffs, I think it makes sense to have good options at returner, so that helps his stock as well. But I think the second round is the right range for him. If we drafted him, I think we still need a boost on the outside.
