Don't forget Upshaw - what a draft
He got a sack in his first game as a rookie in Philly filling in for Suggs.
He got a big fumble in the SB tonight.
Nothing but upside with Upshaw. What a great career winning the National Championship
at Alabama and the SB with the Ravens.
What a great draft.
Future All Pro Upshaw
Future All Pro KO
Pierce
Gino who will take over for Birk next year
And the dark horse - Streeter.
IN OZ WE TRUST

And Jimmy Smith came up huge. He was being doubted as a bust but was integral to that goal line stand.
I'd like to also thank the Houston Texans' GM Rick Smith. Great job with the farm team. Can't wait to see who we call up to the majors - Glover Quin?

Re: Don't forget Upshaw - what a draft
LOL - I was thinking about Houston when Jacoby scored those 2 TDs. Falls down catching the ball and gets back up
and scores. Houston cut him because he dropped balls.
Guess they didn't know he could return kickoffs. ILMAO

Re: Don't forget Upshaw - what a draft
I think it's a testament to our good coaching. You see all these guys like Bart Scott and Jarrett Johnson do so well here, and then revert to mediocrity outside. Likewise, we take average guys from other teams (Jacoby, Pollard, Corey Graham) and make them play great.

Re: Don't forget Upshaw - what a draft
Upshaw played well tonight and was a much bigger factor than i thought he was going to be. he and Suggs bit hard a few times not setting the edge properly, but thatll happen against the pistol/kaepernick. Futures bright with the kid, hopefully he takes this offseason and improves dramatically in his weaknesses like Torrey did with his hands.
I think your point is valid but your examples are arguably two of the guys that have succeeded the most outside of the Ravens.-JAB

Re: Don't forget Upshaw - what a draft
well, Scott had a few good years there, I think now hes struggling but due to age and decline more so than not being anything but a system player. JJ was never a great all around player here, but the games I saw he still set the edge well and the chargers did have the 6th best rush defense this year with him, which is what he excelled at. just a difference of opinion maybe.

Re: Don't forget Upshaw - what a draft
I hope we can keep him.
Sorry, I forgot to mention Tucker and he was an un-drafted rookie to boot like Priest Holmes and the other
greats Ozzie signed.
He makes this rookie class even stronger, maybe the best and they will keep us winning for years to come
even when we lose guys like Kruger to FA. Upshaw will step up in his place next year.

Re: Don't forget Upshaw - what a draft
KO is better than Grubbs already IMHO.
If we keep him at guard, he is going to have an amazing career.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.
