Jolly was credited in the article for both his toughness and size but it was noted he wasn't the ideal height despite the other strengths of his game.Originally posted by Patler View Post
McGinn has the germ of a point. But in the rush to link size and fit it to fan favorite "toughness" to get an attention grabber, the article became a mess. It did, I am sure, garner a lot of web hits. I have probably read it 4 times. I also guess that SEO and the name JJ Watt somehow figure into this
The D line, despite attention paid to it in the draft has underperformed. The two best, Pickett and Raji, are similar physical types who present vastly different problems for O lines. Pickett is a classic NT, not an End. Raji is a penetrator and pass rusher more than a 2 gap DE and he doesn't have Pickett's anchor.
And you can't play them every down. Even though he is not an ideal NT in the base 3-4 Oakie, I hope Raji and Pickett spend time split apart and spend most of their time at the nose or no wider than 3 tech.
I understand the desire to put the 3 best D line out there (its part of the reason I am rooting for Sherrod at LT) but I think the fit at the D line spots is as out of whack as the performance. Everyone will be looking for Jones (or Neal) to supplant Wilson, but I think the biggest mismatch on the line is the non-Wilsonian DE spot. I hope Neal and Jones can relieve the need to play one of those two at DE, where they are not an ideal size or skill match. Raji doesn't offer as much pass rush from DE as he does from DT and Pickett has no pass rush or mobility. If Neal or Jones can be counted on the stand up to interior running and blocking, their youth will also make them better in pursuit.
And running wide is where the 49ers just scorched the Packers. Neither of those players will catch CK, but forcing him wide (with no cutbacks) would make the rest of the defenses job easierBud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

I just wish people wouldn't quote him out of consideration to the rest of us.[QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.Comment
