Sorry about this misspelling of his first name.

Fixed it fella :knucks:

This is the best news short of Tannehill dominating. DE is a core position and if we are going to make a 4-3 work we need a DE who will force teams to decide which end to double because its extremely hard to get both. I dont just want Vernon to emerge as a starter, hes got to be a legit stud. Plus the less we see of Odrick or Starks as a DE the better off we will be imo.

What with the glowing reports on Vernon and also Westerman, it would be great if that allowed us to rotate Odrick mainly with Starks and Soliai. I won't be a bit surprised if Vernon ends up as the starting RDE in our 4-3. That would be perfect if he can win that job.

I mentioned after the signing how I felt Westerman was a good signing. His ratio of snaps to Pressure/Sack/Hurry is pretty good. Granted hes a reserve but you want reserves that can generate a pass rush.

If Ireland hits this freakin draft right, we're gonna be a nice young football team on the rise.

So far with our first 5 picks, I feel like he may have actually done it, we get a few more of those and we are going to be a threat for a while in the league

All BS aside....everytime I look at your sig I lose all concentration. As much as I like it, it's very distracting. :sad:

If our first 5 are hits, this would be one of the GOAT Drafts in the league. I've called for not jumping to blast Ireland more than anyone....but hitting big on the first 5 just doesn't seem likely.

The kid definitely caught my eye last week. Just physically he is a big kid man. I'm going to try to pay closer attention to him tomorrow...

Hold up folks, we've all been around long enough to know it takes time and pressure to see who is who.

I do like the more athletic approach to things and feel this is one area where Parcell's blueprint went awry, Bills had high picks for yrs, Pats had a mtn of draft picks, the solution was not to go big and maul them it was to out athleticism them imo.

Best game plan in the world cannot account for a player showing that sort of athletic ability, who would you rather have running through the secondary on a draw, Ronnie B or Reggie or Lamar?

Interestingly enough, Westerman's younger brother was highly drafted by my BC Lions.

Would you like me to run a poll here for whether I should keep it or change it?

That's quite an oxymoron, no? :shifty:

I'm being distracted by it as we speak, although does make typing somewhat difficult, yeah. :escape:

With Wake and 2 quality, penetrating DTs in Starks & Odrick next to Vernon and us running a more attacking D this year, I could really see him picking up 8-10 sacks as a rookie.

Not LDE? I'd rather Wake not be covered by a TE since his best move is the speed rush outside.

Slooow down fellas! A lot depends on our DBs and Safeties.
