He's not an edge rusher. Put 20 pounds on him and move him inside.

Still has work to do as a pass rusher but I see improvement. Let's see how it goes. Inside stunts are enough to get him matched against guards.

He's going to be a beast. I trust the process.

“T-Rex arms got lucky, that’s all. My O linemen all have sufficient wingspans.”
There are a couple on here that still thinks Walker was the right pick and they have forgot the kids name in Detroit lol.  Hutchinson has been very good from day 1 and is now an elite player and one of the best in the legaue.  Hutchinson could have been the difference maker last year in us missing the playoffs last year or the the difference maker in beating the Chiefs in the divisional round a couple years ago.  

Walker wasn't that much more of an athlete than Hutch, that's the crazy part.  Hutchinsons hand was an inch too short and then we draft Maason Smith who is a giant with mini hands.  It doesn't make any sense.  I was hoping Baalke was the smartest person in the room because even Khan wanted Hutchinson by all reports.

I like Walker. Though he could have played better yesterday. But I'm not regretting the pick. Hutch would be a complete bust here.

Milk is $3.82 right now. Not crying over spilt milk in this household. Pulling the belt out and whipping that [BLEEP] instead.

3 sacks including the clincher - 1 FF

Player of the game.
He should’ve had 4 sacks today.
The Josh Allen sack was basically Walkers doing.

Very impressive

All on the same move, whatever call it nitpicking but hes 1 dimensional. Maybe he can become the best bull rusher in the history of the NFL, but in big games, when it counts... this won't work.

Career game for Walker.

If the guy learned more pass rush moves he'd be a pro bowler.

I am a fan, not a cheerleader.

The amount of times this beast gets held is becoming ridiculous. The guy has a motor that doesn't quit. He's great against the rush, and he's recognizing misdirection screens like a champ.

His weakness is that he has no bend in the hips to use any type of quickness or manueverability to get by LTs or RTs. But he's getting no help from the officials.

He has only one move, which is to use his absolutely top 10 power to get to the QB. He wears down tackles. But he can't do this forever. Someone needs to get him into a yoga class and a karate class to work on his hands and his flexibility.

I'm still a big fan of his.

Should of had 4 Sacks today, but Flacco was lucky to get rid of the ball with Walker hanging all over him.

He also directly caused the sack JHA got as well.

7 pressures, 5 tackles, 3 Sacks, 1 Forced Fumble and 1 PD today.

He is legit. A little more work on his pass rush moves and he's going to be hitting 10+ sack seasons on a regular basis.
Reply


He’s gonna hit 10 again this year. I predict he gets about 13 sacks this year.

So 2 out of his first 3 years with 10+ sacks is good. It may not be as many as Hutch, but I don’t care. I just want Travon to continue getting better and continue making plays.

I'm telling you, if he gets a Yoga instructor, he'd be our Von Miller.

He just needs to learn how to bend his hips on the inside to outside rush.  If he did that, the tackle he's up against would have no clue what to do.  

His hips and his ankles are too tight.  He's gotta become a bit more agile.  He's young enough to get there.

I saw it at least once a set of downs all game. Egregiously too. On the first possession the tackle had him in a frigging Nelson

Travon played excellent today and I'm very happy for him finally playing up to the type of player that would be taken at #1 overall.

The clots RT was continuously abused by Walker - and that's what our defense desperately needs from our two dynamic pass rushers.
