Quote:This scheme is doing no favors. Look at Branch in Miami. Hes looking great this year. To sit here and say Fowler is a bust agter 9 games is ridiculous. He was always raw coming out. Gotta let players develop...would help if we didnt run a [BAD WORD REMOVED] scheme too.
I've only seen Miami play once this season. But when watching Ndamukong Suh on every play when he was with Detroit, I'm wondering to what extent Andre Branch is benefiting from Suh's presence?
Having said this, I certainly think it's way too early to make conclusions about DFJs long term NFL playing career. It's good to exchange ideas on possibilities and what could have been. But until DFJ is with a different coaching staff and further away from his injury, there are too many unknowns.
Quote:It is just unfathomable to me how Dave could sit and watch Beasley do that live in person at the combine, not to mention watching all of the college tape, and say "nah I'm gonna pick the other one".
maybe it's because he knows something that you don't know
Quote:maybe it's because he knows something that you don't know
Which goes to show what he supposedly knew, cause it was obviously wrong.
Quote:maybe it's because he knows something that you don't know
But he doesnt, he doesnt magically have more football iq because of his job title.
His comparison to Beasley is ridiculous. Beasley was garbage his rookie season, even struggling to find playing time at one point. Granted, Beasley is far better than Fowler is now, but Fowler is better than Beasley was given the same amount of time player. I willing to give Fowler the same time before I rule him a bust.

False and extremely false.
Famous spin move into the brick wall OL was on display full force today. Dude sucks. Now Nguakwe is a sack master.
Good grief, 11 games into his first real season, and Fowler is dubbed a bust.
Ridiculous.

Thanks for the wonderful insight.
Beasley had a few games early (and late) where he hurried the QB successfully. While he played in every game, he was taken out a lot. Unfortunately, I watch a lot of Falcons football, and Beasley was not good.
This year, they've taken him out of the designated pass-rusher position and put him in the SAM linebacker role. This is part of the reason he's having a good year. Fowler's rush has contributed to quite a few sacks. Beasley's rookie year did not.

I've given my insights ad nauseam. Beasley led all rookies in hurries and was like 12th or something close to that in overall hurries. I also watch a ton of Falcons football as I have been one of Vics largest proponents and I have Julio and Coleman in my main dynasty money league. He was as good as you can expect a rookie DE to be.
Dante "personal" Fowler on the other hand doesn't do jack if he isn't stunting, and even lately he hasn't done jack while stunting. His pass rushes look like he is taking off after doing a dizzy bat contest.
Vic dominated again today, while Dante came close to making one nice play.
Line up Fowler baby mama she got hands.

dominated? I didnt watch that game but was looking at the stat sheet and I dont see not 1 tackle or is it just not updated?
Let's hope a unnatural pass rusher develops a pass rush at a position he's never played...

He was credited with 8 hurries.
Quote:Well if a fight breaks out between two ROAR members, we are gonna be glad we have Fowler on our side.
Ok now that was funny
The sack where Malik Jackson out ran Fowler to get to the qb says it all, doesn't it?
I thought today might have been his best game. He had a couple pressures that forced Tyrod out the pocket and resulted in 3rd down incompletions
