The more and more I read about this guy, the more I want him as our 1st round pick next year. He would be our Haloti Ngata and could be used in both 4-3 and 3-4 fronts. Having a dominant DT like this could allow us to do so much on defense.

The only question is, will we be in position to get him? I could see him being a top 5 pick.

, He looks to have a great burst off the line for sure and very good speed for a defensive tackle , mean hitter when he gets to you. but doesn't look to draw alot of double teams, I think he is best in a 4-3 scheme, his strength didnt look to me as good as advertised

If we're gonna take him with our first rounder next year, he'd better be a darn good run stuffer AND a contributor to the pass rush.

From what I can tell he is good and he has speed for a defensive tackle but we got our defensive tackle of the future, assuming his ACL heals 100 percent, Star is good but not good enough for us to draft him in the 1st

Especially with our needs at CB, WR, RB, and OG.

Star is talented no doubt about it but we didnt bring in Redding, Mckinney, and Chapman for nothing, we have what I think now is our most desperate need by far now and thats Corner followed by Outside Linebacker, I think we will be ok at Guard. Our Corners were atrocious last year at tackling they missed all kinds of tackles, Got beat time and time again in coverage, I dont see why a few like Kevin Thomas, he was almost as bad as Lacey

star is being compared to nghata by many nfl scouts. if he's there near our pick we should consider him.

I agree we should consider him I think he is more suitable to the 4-3 which is was Utah appeared to have played although I haven't watched any games of theirs just highlights

From what I am seeing in the youtube clip, he doesn't seem to be a top 5 guy. He's held up by one lineman in the first several plays on that video. When I watched Suh at NU, he was constantly doubled, and when he wasn't, the QB was paying for it. Maybe I didn't watch enough of that video, but he doesn't seem like a top 5 guy to me.

IF he's as good as Ngata (or will be in a year or two) we should pick him. Regardless of other needs.

Truly elite players, like Ngata, is what we really need, not just picking the best available CB/WR/OLB or whatever position where we have a need. So if there's someone in the draft that could end up being a true top 20 player in the NFL, regardless of position, that's who we should grab.

That said, and I really like this guy, I don't really see us picking him. He will be a early first round pick for sure, but we won't pick him.

I still believe that Chapman is a steal, and that he'll do fine for us.

He is not Ngata good and he is really LAZY. He is explosive off the snap but shows no wiliness to pursue the play down field. Got lucky that the rb tripped the OL for the sack. Colorado didn't feel that they needed to double him consistently from those highlights. He will drop in to the late 1st or early 2rd imo. There were guys that went in the 3rd this year much better. The comparison to Ngata is undeserved and a insult for that matter.

      Moore and Paye ruled out against Steelers

      By richard pallo · Posted

      I predict all of the players listed as questionable will play.  The Steelers offense is meh.

      If Eberflus was fired by Chicago would you want him back

      By John Waylon · Posted

      The problem with hiring a defensive guy and tasking him with building that offensive support system is that most of them just don’t have it, and they’re not really capable of building it. There aren’t enough Tom Moore types out there to help institute that long-term knowledgeable stability.    We got lucky with Pagano and Luck having Arians in the building, and largely being the head coach for the majority of Luck’s rookie season. But watching Pagano flail to fill an offensive staff post-Arians was painful, and most of the defensive head coaches struggle in the exact same way. It’s out of their specialty and out of their comfort zone and it just makes it harder than it needs to be on everyone involved.    The most advantageous way to hire a defensive HC is with an already established QB and system that he can just come in and not have to build from the ground up.

      Samuel Womack getting the start in week 4?

      By Superman · Posted

      You should double check. I just did. Womack started both games, with Jaylon Johnson on the other side, and Kenny Moore at nickel.    Against the Packers, Womack got 20 snaps, Flowers got 19. Against the Bears, Womack got 28 snaps, Flowers got 41 (and he left before the game ended, so maybe he would have gotten more). Maybe Flowers was on his way to taking Womack's spot in the lineup, but Womack was on the field as a starter in both games.

      Is Shane Calling Plays to Win Games or to Groom AR?

      By Superman · Posted

      Game on the line, inconsistent passer at QB, and the OL is the strength of the team. Everyone in the world knew that the first priority was to stop JT. And they couldn't.    I don't know what's with this myth that there's something deficient about JT as a RB. It's nonsense.

      I think he's probably only using 25% of his playbook so far, for various reasons. Some of that is intentional, as they work in some concepts with a young QB and a young-ish supporting cast.   Another part of it is that the Colts game script has been heavily skewed, especially in the first two games, so the gameplan had to be reduced as the game went along. The offense couldn't stay on the field, and the defense couldn't get off of it. It was better against the Bears, but their offense still ran 30 more plays than ours. Total, our offense has run 87 fewer plays than our opponents. Teams usually script their first 15 offensive plays, and I wonder if the Colts have gotten through that opening script in any of the first three games. So I think there are some things that they'd like to have run, but so far they have not been able to get to them.   I don't think it's a binary 'do we call winning plays, or do we call plays to develop the QB' consideration. I don't necessarily agree that those priorities have to compete with one another, but it does require a balance to do them both justice. I don't think it does this team any good, short term or long term, to restrict Richardson to 15 passing attempts/game, or to use him as an option QB like this is the Navy team, even if they felt like that could be a way to win some games. I also don't think they should coach him as if every game is "winner take all," and have him lay his body on the line or try to drop back 50 times a game.    And we have to blame Richardson and the WRs to a certain extent. There have been a lot of missed throws, drops, and turnovers. Those plays have stalled or ended several possessions, and that's not on the play calling.
