Re: 2013 NFL Scouting Combine 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: 2013 NFL Scouting Combine Thread
It's all about the first step explosion. You can't teach that. Getting out of your stance, getting your first foot forward, and hitting the corner is just pure athletic ability. You can teach a lineman how to time their jump better but it still won't help them physically get off the ball ahead of everyone else.
Obviously Ziggy Ansah's 1.56 split is insane. Josh Boyd and Shariff Floyd went 1.67 and 1.68 respectively at around 300lbs, which is a phenomenal number. Hunt and Jones 1.62 and 1.63, more very good numbers.
The latter 2 guys could be JJ Watt type impact players at the 5-tech DE spot. I would have no problem with the Ravens taking Jones or Hunt at #32 if they moved Ngata to NT. With Ngata at NT, McPhee at one DE spot and Jones/Hunt at the other, that is A LOT of penetration and pass rush out of the base 3 man line.

Datone Jones killed it in the pass rush drill also, best of the group, really fluid.

Re: 2013 NFL Scouting Combine Thread
Datone Jones is the guy I'm leaning towards. He could set the edge as a 3-4 DE and open up things a little for Upshaw and Suggs behind him. He could also play the interior on passing downs giving us a different look from the big guys. Jones is absolutely on my list this year.

Re: 2013 NFL Scouting Combine Thread
I would have no issue with them taking a true 5-technique DE / DT, because I really feel as though both Arthur Jones and Pernell McPhee are best suited to situational roles...but I think Ozzie needs to get a true NT in addition to that. Leave Ngata where he is, and get another player that DEMANDS a double team. Ngata's skill set is not being maximized having his main responsibility being nothing but eating up blockers.
