First Round Pick 2019, Rashan Gary

[Bretsky]

Wist has been hacked.

I think his wife has taken over his PR account

[Bretsky]

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

I cannot accept your Meawhateverthehellthatwas

I want realistic pessimist wist back; that dude held firm with his views and never flipped...he was right sometimes and wrong sometimes but he was firm. He made me feel somewhat optimistic. He's turned detractor to cheerleader on us. Next thing I know he'll be predicting 11 wins and a SuperBowl. I am starting up the Bring Back Wist Bus !

I like the new Wist. Still don't understand how Gary would be the type of guy any Wist would hate. He plays a man's game. I believe his explanation that he wrote him off based on reports without properly evaluating him. Z. Smith and Gary seem like perfect Wist players.

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.

Got a cortisone shot in my hip a couple of weeks ago... been relatively pain free - think that might explain why I'm less curmudgeonly.

Not to worry though, it's bound to wear off before the season starts... the pain will be back, and I'll be happy to lead the resistance again

Interesting stat. Chase Winovich averaged 0.375 TFL in games that Gary missed in his career. He averaged 1.44 TFL in games that Gary played.

After watching legit Gary tape and seeing how often teams ran away from him and how few actual opportunities he had, it’s surprising that there was so much negative review. Maybe teams were trying to get him to slide.

I heard Gary is gonna be the new #52.

In number only.

Does that mean Gary does not make the players around him better?

I call this the Ted Washington/Urlacher effect. As soon as the 365 lbs DT in front of Urlacher left his tackles went from 151 to 116. Urlacher never reached that number again in his career.

Just got one in a knee this week. Doctor told me of a new therapy called Coolief

Supposed to last up to 6 months while the nerve endings regrow. Might want to check it out.

I'd be careful. There are still some snafus in those radio wave treatment therapies.
