Nas Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Poz is nothing, and will turn out that way. Trus' I think the knee injury he suffered (as per ESPN) made him a bit of a gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxi-xxv Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Lets see Spagnolu hopes to implement a defense that attacks in the mold of the Eagles Jom Johnson defense, one that is predicated on having Cb's that are big and can play in a press coverage man to man system. Keeping that in mind how is this a bad pick? Guy is athletic and fast and also adds an added dimension as a return man. Aside from trading down with Cleveland I like the pick.

I also like the pick, but I wish we would have draft a LT. but we need a CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesta Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 Poz is nothing, and will turn out that way. Trus' I don't think you're right about Poz, but I hope I have to eat my words on Ross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teufelhunde Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Poz is nothing, and will turn out that way. Trus' Poz is a beast, he's gonna anchor whatever defense he's on. He may not be flashy, but he gets the job done. He just needs to get a little beefier and work on his pass coverage. I think the knee injury he suffered (as per ESPN) made him a bit of a gamble. His knee injury was two years ago and he proved last year that he made a full recovery. The partially torn ligaments were able to heal on their own and didn't require surgery, which is a big plus. He had an outstanding year even after switching to a new position last season. When Jack Ham names you the best linebacker to ever play at Penn State, that's saying something. We missed out on this kid, big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njsmalls Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 So far, I think the draft has been, eh... We still need depth at LB, I'm sure the Giants will take one in the fourth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgutmartyr Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Enter Jay Alferd.. does this mean William Joseph is out? I think Seawright has more to worry about. A whopping 1 tackle last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gateb Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 So far, I think the draft has been, eh... We still need depth at LB, I'm sure the Giants will take one in the fourth. Preferrably Tim Shaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I think Seawright has more to worry about. A whopping 1 tackle last year. The guy barelyl cracks the minimum wage. I think it's Willie Joe (or as I mistakenly call hime: Josephe williams) who's gotta go. A total bust for a first rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. That's why the Ross pick pisses me off so much. We pass on Poz, for a punt returner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A total bust for a first rounder. I'm not going to argue that he's not a bust for a first rounder. He is. Frankly, both these guys suck on toast. But given a choice between Joseph (20 total tackles, 1 forced fumble) and Seawright (1 tackle), I'll put up with Joseph, and hope someone else shines in camp. Either way, both these clowns will probably be gone by the beginning of 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Thank you. That's why the Ross pick pisses me off so much. We pass on Poz, for a punt returner. No, we passed on Poz for a CB. It was our most glaring need, hands down. A LB can stop a 5 yard gain but a CB stops a 40 yard play (not my best argument I know) but hey, we could've gone either way and I'm sure the argumetns for Poz are very reasonable. But at LB our need was not as dire. We got AP, Mitchell (from KC), and Wilkinson.. and there's a chance we can get Briggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't draft him for his cover skills, but for his return expertise. That's his only upside at this point, without that he would never have been considered a first round pick. We didn't spend a 20 on a nickel back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm saying is those guys are the experts and what I saw is a corner back who can cover, deflect, and even intercept balls. His tackling skills remind of Will Allen's.

That's the only thing I like about him is his aggressiveness going after the ball, but he's not a good cover guy and not a good tackler. But we'll see. I hope to be wrong.

US Patriot Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Your mind is in tune with Jerry Reese. I think Zac is going to be a great player and have an immediate positive impact on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do too... Plus, all he did was blitz in college. So, we add another pass rusher to the team. give him a year or two to adjust to the speed of the game, and he is going to start for us. Hopefully in the 5th round, we get John Wendling. Hey, It worked last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
