Re: 2013 NFL Scouting Combine Thread
Is thier anything more pointless than watching OLman running a 40 yard dash?

Sam Montgomery says he tries to play like Terrell Suggs. I've heard the comparison before actually.

Re: 2013 NFL Scouting Combine Thread
I actually think that Hampton could have been more of a pocket penetration guy if it weren't for LeBeau's scheme. Not that he would have been as good a rusher as a run defender, I'm not saying that. LeBeau's scheme just didn't ask that of him. His job was to set it up for the edge guys.
The Ravens haven't had those edge guys. Suggs has been the only one, and I think that's played a role in what they've asked Ngata to do.
I can't remember if it was Ozzie Newsome or Eric DeCosta, but one of them admitted that in a re-do they would have taken Jarret Johnson in the first round. If they'd take him in the first, I think they'd take a Casey Hampton type player if he is really good in that spot. Hampton has caused them problems for years and the Ravens run defense struggled. When you combine that with the number of read option offenses that are popping up, I think you'll find that they'll have to be more up on their run defense."Please take with you this final sword, The Excellector.

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.

You are missing my point. I'm talking about DTs. Some people seem to be against Jesse Williams, because he isn't an ideal pass rushing DT (which is debatable IMO), but forget that players like him allow others around him to get an easier time making plays, rushing the passer etc. Casey Hampton wasn't only useful against the run, he helped the edge rushers have an easier time getting to the QB.
We had one of the worst rushing defenses in football in 2012, its an area that we must improve.

Re: 2013 NFL Scouting Combine Thread
I could care less about 40 yard times as long as said player isn't incredibly slow, and runs a 5.7 or something.
