Quietly going about his job.
Nice write up on him.....and pretty much on point about the game.
kinda sad to see this on the same page: "Cyprien 51st out of 63 qualifying safeties in tackling efficiency against the pass"
Linder and Bowanko were solid picks for Dave!!
It's funny that when we got Beadles, we thought the left side of the line would be solid but it's actually been the Center position and the right side that has improved the most.
Beadles has steadily improved as the line has started to gel.
Linder and Bowanko have tightened up the middle of the line for sure.

Without going g back and studying the game, I though Beadles played quite well yesterday. Particularly in the run game where it seemed Robinson was running for 8 yards every time he ran to the left.

Agreed...I'm not sold at all on Beadles or Joeckel.

Yea and after getting beat in a footrace with Tannehill yesterday.
I like the guy but he hasn't flashed. I hope he hasn't topped out because he isn't great in coverage and is OK in run support.
Linder should get pro bowl consideration.

Not great in coverage yet he shut down Jordan Cameron, Antonio Gates, Charles Clay and Heath Miller.
Interesting.

And the game Cyprien missed Niles Paul dropped 8 catches for 99 yards on the defense. That Cyp though...
Cyprien would make a hell of a LB

It's funny. He's not great in coverage but has shut down some of the better tight ends in the league.

The interior of the line looks to be getting it together in the run blocking. They were gashing a pretty good Dolphins front 7 and that's good to see. Tougher test this week though.
Brandon is currently playing at an all pro level, that's crazy considering he's a rookie taken in the 3rd round, and excellent find by Dave.

He was considered a reach at the time, too. Atleast we have a building block on the OL. He and Bowanko have played pretty well

Dave is proving to be a great talent evaluator, if you can hit homeruns in round 3-7 it makes the building process a lot easier, Brandon Linder was a find but let's also give DC credit for a guy like Demetrius McCray.

As well as Telvin. Chris Smith hasn't had much of an opportunity, but he showed great jump off the snap in preseason. I think he has the tools that can be developed into a good rotational player. Evans has played decent this year. I like how well he has drafted so far, and has hit on about half of his free agent signings. Which is to be expected.
