Quote:I know you were never a Fowler fan to begin with, but every time he's brought up you say the same thing man. "Only because of scheme and cleaning up plays". Since when is effort plays a bad thing and since when is coaches scheming their players into good positions a bad thing? Is that the whole point? To scheme your players into the best possible outcome, regardless?


The guy is an absolute force against the run, which is rare for pass rushers, especially in their *rookie season.


Is he raw in terms of his moves rushing the passer? Yes he is, but you can clearly see he has the ability. He also has everything that cannot be taught in terms of H/W/S, his passion and fire for the game, how violent he is and how he plays with great effort. You can't teach that stuff and he has it.


The biggest thing that stands out to me when watching him is, that he needs to learn how to use his hands much better. He's strong and violent, but running your shoulder into any OT in the NFL isn't going to work much at all. Soon as they get their hands on you, it's over regardless of the caliber of player.


He tries to stutter step into the OT and drive his shoulder through them too much imo. I think part of that is when he's gassed, there's times when you can clearly see he's gassed out there and needs a breather.


As far as Beasley goes, it didn't take Atlanta long to drop the experiment of him being a DE. Didn't they move him to OLB? I notice that they put him in at the weakside DE (our Leo) on some very obvious 3rd and longs, but besides that he's the weak side LB.


8th overall is pretty dang high for a WILL backer.

It's a pathetic example of confirmation bias. KY is desperately trying to justify his not liking Fowler pre-draft because Dante's spider chart was subpar. It's probably best to ignore him altogether, dude doesn't even watch the games. He consumes football by opening up an excel spreadsheet on his computer and waiting for a twitter account he follows to offer an opinion he can parrot.


It's weird.
