    Just got my First Look at Deone Buccannon....Uggh

    in NFL Draft, Scouting, and Free Agent Talk

    Posted

    I watched the USC tape before. I'm just now watching the Oregon won. No mention of how we forced and recovered a fumble. Or at 7:05 when he runs down and makes a really nice tackle for a loss on the RB who had gotten past the first defender.  And the commentator had really nice things to say about him as well. This isn't his best tape but Bucannon is a great prospect.

     

    I think he has good field awareness, and good instinct but not a killer one. I think he would be better in a zone type defence.

    I want Lamarcus Joyner

    I don't care how tall he is, or how much he weighs, or his 40 time,  I didn't do too much scouting this year, but last year I scouted this guy, and I've been watching him since high school. When your breakdown tape against the no. 3 team in the country looks like a striaght highlight realm..

     

    I mean, A year after Mathieu and Russel Wilson, were still having this Height Conversations.

     

     

    and for those that like hits

     

    Fleener

    I don't think anybody on here advocated for us picking Fleener than me. All this really makes no sense. He should be making major gains by the time the end of the season draws near. But if it makes you feel better, Fleener looks now what Dallas Clark looks like now. So maybe, in time, Fleener will Look like Clark use to look when he was a boss.

    Laron Landry was Freaking Fantastic Today.

    Okay, Luck took a lot of sacks, but I think it was because he didn't want to put up any picks on risky throws...smart plays, but it lead to a few too many 3 and outs in the 2nd half which gave Pryor all day to play Madden 2001 on us and run all about the field. 

     

    If it were not for Laron Landry's speed and instinct, we would have been down 2 touchdowns before the 4th Quarter started. He was literally in on every play, running and playing his heart out. This guy is the saving grace of out D. That little extra effort allowed, chasing down the TE on the blown coverage and forcing 3rd and 4th downs chasing down pryor is what allowed us to get back in the game.

     

    Props to Freeman, and Toler who also played extremely well.

    Will this year be known as the draft where we all thought too much?

    Is because stats in college don't matter.

     

    I think they do matter.

     

    Look At Elvis Dummerville's stats in College, dude had 13 sacks and 15 FF. He wen't in like the what 4th round. He had ideal size and speed and he was glossed over.

     

    Stats aren't everything, but...E.J. manual and the Syracuse QB had major accurracy problems yet were considered high picks and 1 even taken in the first round.

     

    People are listening to Mayok too much or something.

     

    Casey Heyward for another example, dude had like 20 Passes defensed...think those didn't matter.

     

    When you play top competition and you come up with good stats, that says something.

    Geno Smith, 42 TD to 7 INTS, The year before that 31 TD to 6 INTS

     

    Matt Barkley, Do I even need to state stats

     

    Robert Woods, 76 cathes and 11 TD while injured

     

    Stedman Bailey, 25 TD and 114 Catches, 3rd rounder?

     

    Alex Okafor 14 Sacks

     

    Not to mentions T.J Mcdonald, Sam Montgomery, Damontre Moore. Shariff Floyd all the way down to 23?

     

    Manti Teo, over 100 tackes 4 Pass Breakups and 7 INT's

     

     

     

    Yet, David Amerson has proven himself to be a bum and Margus Hunt has proven nothing...but these guys go in the 2nd round.

     

    I can't wait to see what happens this year.

    Trading Down to the 2nd Round and Take Robert Woods?

    I'm a big USC fan, and without any bias, I can say that Robert Woods is Hands down the best WR in this class. Why he has fallen, I assume their are two explanations.

     

    1. A slight concussion and ankle injury. 

     

    2. Overshadowed by Marquis Lee

     

     

    If you watch Lame Kiffen, you can see why Marquis Lee overshadowed Woods and why Nelson Algholar overshadowed both in some games.

     

    Kiffen called so many slant and out routes it was ridiculous. You can even hear Barkely say their offence was too predictable. Many  of Woods Catches were for 4-6 yards and, once in a while he and Lee would get you an extra 10 yards. Many of Barkely's problems and the offense as the whole was our inability to run and the simplicity of our passing game.

     

    I think with a new young team, we can't afford to start loosing picks. If we are looking for a WR, Woods is a steal at anything after the first 10 picks, despite what the experts say.
