"Cubs Win! Cubs Win!!"

As long as his shoulder is good, he should at least be solid and allow the other horses to stay fresh as a rook.

I did the same thing Wist did. Heard all the negative press about him, but didn't watch any film until after he was drafted. Everybody agrees he has tons of talent, and nobody says he doesn't make an effort. He seems to do everything thing well but finish. A couple things I noticed about him: First, when he takes an inside rush, he gets double-teamed. That should be opening things up for teammates. Second, opposing teams don't run at him much. He seems to have opponent's respect.

That is a very popular stunt these days, the EDGE crashing down and a tackle or backer looping outside.

The shoulder injury is just as worrisome as the lack of production to me. I trust Pettine and Co. to have a plan for production, mostly because I like the new D line coach Montgomery.

I don't trust the medical wing as much. Plus, who knows what they aren't telling you about it. Gary sounded like it was all fixed, but who knows.

get a few more scans. Maybe his labrum is 0.02um thinner.

Gary said it was a subluxation, not a torn Labrum.

What I read predraft was that it was a torn labrum... more misreporting.

Gary said it's good to go... as long as he gave it sufficient time to heal, it should be fine.

[wist43]

It's like you were the leader of the revolution and you shot all your soldiers and jumped sides...............LOLOL

Lol... yeah, I do that sometimes. Keeps everyone on their toes

[3irty1]

I'm in full mea culpa mode on Gary now...

Looked at quite a bit of his game film, play by play... I had dismissed him b/c of all the negative press, which seemed to be justified based on his lack of production.

After listening to Gute, and watching a lot more tape - I now consider Gary a bonafide dude.

I think we may have a player here guys!!!

I think his punch is outstanding. He controls the blocker on almost every snap. He disengages well, reads the play well, takes good angles...

What he needs to work on is his technique to win the edge more often, and develop a second under move coming off his bull rush. As of now, his pass rush is too one demensional.

If he can develop a couple more pass rushing moves, he'll be very, very tough for T's to handle.

I like that he'll be standing up... with the Smiths, our front will definitely be tough to handle.

Starting to get excited about the possibilities.

Wist has been hacked.

Gary said it was a subluxation, not a torn Labrum.

Maybe not as bad, but still problematic.

Note this complication:

Shoulder instability. Once you’ve had a subluxation, it’s more likely to happen again. Some people get subluxations over and over again.

I hope it's not the case with him, but I could easily see this as a chronic problem, with surgery needed, and all the problems that may cause.

Great video. I see I'm not the only one making the Jadeveon Clowney comparison.

I was really surprised how some player completely fell in this draft. Look no further than DK Metcalf. The guys was the number 1 receiver on every big board from the pundits. He went towards the end of the second round. That was a huge free fall. Same can be said about Love, he was a top 5 corner pre-draft and he fell to the fourth round. Greedy Williams top 3 corner on every board dropped to the second round. Crazy stuff in this draft.

I'm not surprised on Metcalf. On ESPN, they did graphics around him that showed he had basically the same level of agility and quickness as Tom Brady lol. Seems like quickness, agilty and change-of-direction are super important for a wideout. All Metcalf is gonna be able to do is get deep on straight line routes.

Megatron would've ran the same shitty agility time had he opted to run the drills. Never did cos he knew he would've gotten shitty numbers. Megatron is probably gonna get bronzed. Metcalf's poor man's Megatron.

Better pray to the Neon God Metcalf never catches a game-winner in a NFC Title game against the Packers. Metcalf is gonna be glorious.

[call_me_ishmael]

Julio Jones ran the 3-cone nearly a full second faster than DK. Cut the nonsense.

Alas he won't have that QB god Joey Harrington to throw to him, so we'll never know his full potential.

Tank can only balance two concepts at a time. Height and speed. When you add agility and hands and route savvy and personality and strength and football awareness.... well, he doesn’t have that capabilitg. he resorts back to speed and size because it’s all he’s capable of comprehending at one time. He thinks you sound stupid because you can’t see his one point as the only point the way he does.

Three years later though he’ll find the best player drafted 10 picks from our pick and say he saw it all along even though it’s a safety who ran 4.6 and he never spoke for until after the guy succeeeded.

Dude is a joke
