Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Teo is getting crushed, missing tackles when he's not getting crushed, the defense is completely confused and they are rolling over.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
I don't really care what he does against ND's rather weak schedule, I wanted to see what he could against guys who may be able to play on Sunday. Alabama has as close to an NFL line as you'll see in college football. He failed to show up at all, those concerns which a lot of us had about him (lack of athleticism first and foremost), were realized today.
Any player who beats up on weak competition and fails to show up against the best competition scares me.Last edited by s.r.genovese; 01-08-2013 at 12:17 AM.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
For what it's worth, I'm following Daniel Jeremiah who used to be a Ravens scout (as well as the Browns with Savage and then the Eagles with Andy Reid), and regarding Jones (someone asked if he could play OT as well), he says that Jones is going to have to stay inside as he is a very limited athlete.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
I'll post some relevant tweets from him...good stuff to read from an actual NFL scout...he used to be our west area scout.
Daniel JeremiahVerified
@MoveTheSticks
Bama TE Michael Williams (89) has been outstanding in the run game. 2 big runs behind his seal blocks on perimeter.Daniel JeremiahVerified
@MoveTheSticks
ND struggling up front but it's not b/c of #9 Lous Nix. He just pushed Warmack back about 4 yards. He's ND's best defender.Daniel JeremiahVerified
@MoveTheSticks
WOW! Mosley can close! That was impressiveDaniel JeremiahVerified
@MoveTheSticks
RT @tommy_t_256: Does Barrett Jones project as a C, G or T? > has to play inside at next level. Very limited athlete. On the ground too muchDaniel JeremiahVerified
@MoveTheSticks
RT @mfisherwa: from a pro level how much is Te'o losing tonight.> just one piece of the puzzle. Good player just not elite levelDaniel JeremiahVerified
@MoveTheSticks
Te'o isn't having his best game but he's still a surefire 1st round pick. That isn't going to change b/c of 1 game. Just not Pat WillisDaniel JeremiahVerified
@MoveTheSticks
RT @kegiee:Jarvis Jones > Teo. No contest. u guys in media thought Tao was 2nd coming of Jesus> I compared him to Demeco Ryans, not JCDaniel JeremiahVerified
@MoveTheSticks
Bama and A&M OL's both put together dominant bowl game performances. Best two OLs I've seen live while scouting. A&M athletic, Bama mauling.Daniel JeremiahVerified
@MoveTheSticks
Manti really struggling to use his hands. Getting swallowed play after play.Daniel Jeremiah @MoveTheSticks
Eddie Lacy reminds me of Jamal Lewis. Lewis had more top speed but they are both violent, angry runners.Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
TE Zach Ertz has declared.
TA&M teammate claims/tweets that Jake Matthews is staying.
ILB Shane Skov was granted an additional year of eligibility...so 99% certain of staying.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
No, it shouldn't. However, I think a lot of people have (I know I did) temper their feelings towards Te'o as a top 10 pick in the coming draft. Kuechly, for example, displayed a lot of athleticism and was able to take on and shed blocks well. Many thought Kuechly could function at several different positions in a 3-4 or a 4-3 alignment. At the moment, IMO, I think Te'o is best suited as an ILB in a 3-4 scheme/hybrid. He got caught up in traffic way too much, he didn't get off of blocks very well, and Alabama was running the rock right down the middle of the field. It wasn't like they were doing a lot of counters, cut backs, or sweeps. They were straight up running ISO dives up the middle.
If you look at the game Mosley had (who is about an inch shorter and about 15-20lbs lighter than Te'o, he was able to avoid would-be blockers, track the ball carrier down, cover, and make plays all over the field. This is a prime example of an every down linebacker (Mosley) vs a likely 2-down linebacker (Te'o).
Now, if he drops into the late teens (which now I think he will) then I definitely think Baltimore should make a play for him because in our D I think he'd be a really solid player. I mean, how many of us would like to see Laurinaitis or Brandon Spikes on the Ravens? Many of us. The reality is that what Te'o lacks in overall athleticism he makes up for in good instincts, durability, fundamentals, and leadership. A lot of those things, you can't coach.
Even if Mosley was coming out this year, he's probably done enough to push himself into a top 15 pick, so I don't think the Ravens would have a shot at him anyway. (unfortunately)Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
