Gerald McCoy

[TennesseePackerBacker]

I don't see Crabtree making it past Seattle or Oakland. My buddy who's a diehard raiders fan, and one of the most knowledgable I know, thinks Oakland will pick him up. I'm pretty inclined to agree, they certainly have the need and he will probably be another Fitzgerald. I can also remember him correctly picking Oakland first round draft picks all the way back to Robert Gallery.

On a side note, McCoy looked great last night against a pretty good UF line. Greisham looked like he'll be a good one, and what more can you say about Tim Tebow? The guy is a winner. I'm a UT fan, I hate the gators, but man that guy has leader written all over him.

Anybody think Spikes played a good game yesterday? To be honest I barely noticed him, except for him not in on any of the tackles during the goal line stand when it was 7-7 and Oklahoma rushed on 1st - 4th down.

Not noticing an MLB is not very good. I wasn't watching him specifically, though.

McCoy had such a great game last night that his stock may have gone up.

He may be off the board.

Spikes isn't the MLB, he's an OLB. He was in on pressures all night long. He was basically the only florida LB that stood out.

I didn't watch the entire game, but much of it. I didn't notice Spikes much either. That Oklahoma DT really stood out.

I agree on Spikes but isn't Dunlop a LB also ? That guy was EVERYWHERE!

I noticed Dunlop. He was good most of the game--although he didn't get run nover by a ball carrier along the sideline on one play.

Dunlap is a 6'8" de. Physically gifted but inconsistent. Unsure of draft projection.

I'd rather have McCoy than Orakpo or any of the other D-Lineman mentioned for the Packers to take. He wouldn't be suited for the current scheme, but he would seem to be ideal in the 3-4. Taking him would be a sign that 1. they are switching to a 3-4 and 2. they don't think Kampman can play 3-4 DE very well. I doubt we take him.

Crabtree indeed would be almost too good to pass up. I doubt taking him would trigger a Driver trade. It probably would, instead, signal the end for Ruvell Martin or maybe James Jones. I doubt we take him either.

Lol, really? What scheme is that, Coach?

The scheme called football that sometimes just requires you to be better than the guy across from you? Give me a break, a good DT can play anywhere... this isn't a QB from a Hawaii offense... this is fuckin football. Line up, put your hand in the dirt and beat the guy in front of you. Either you can do that consistently at the next level or you can't.

Pretty simple.

Actually, I looked up their roster. Does a corner named Dunbar play much? I think that's who got belted on the sideline.

I guess some people need to have things spelled out to them more completely. The scheme we have had--the Bates/Sanders D scheme--supposedly calls for two big run stopping D tackles--which McCoy, good as he might be--is not. He would probably be a great 3-4 DE or a DT in a more conventional 4-3.

I like the idea of taking him--to some extent, even though there's a possibility that he looks better than he is because of the quality around him. I just don't think he will be the Packers pick.

Are you happy now?
