Bleedin Green Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 While he still has to prove himself, I think some folks are a little too hung up on the age thing. As long as he's on his rookie contract it's actually pretty meaningless, only really becoming a potential issue if/when they start thinking about a second contract. Anyone convinced it means he can't possibly improve from here must have missed Pouha's entire career, who was even older when he came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I think it’s a good thing we have guys playing good enough in front of him allowing him acclimate to the game. I think he will be a solid player for us going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a shock when the announced his name because there were real potential stud pass rushers on the board who played at a real school; Jerome Baker taken immediately after Sheppard from OSU who I personally loved in the 3rd, is looking every bit the part in Miami. 30+ tackles a bunch for a loss, 2 sacks. Sam Hubbard from OSU who I liked too also has sack but it's still very early still in these dudes careers. Sheppard could find himself but it is concerning that's he's not at his size/age even as a rookie. Baker is playing with Cameron Wake. That is a huge advantage for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he's 25 means there's like zero upside. He should be producing now. So yeah, there is concern. He might become a solid "jordan Jenkins" style contributor but a legit player would be flashing right now. He's occupying gaps best thing you can say about the dude. Probably another classic Mac day 1 overdraft. Yep, the guy picked on Day 2 of the draft, who's doing what you want from a 3-4 end (controlling gaps and occupying blockers) as a rookie is a Day 1 overdraft.

Why we don’t just commit to a 4-3 is beyond me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That would be an even bigger mess. A 4-3 without DEs is even more crippled than a 3-4 without OLBs. The personnel is more suited to 3-4 of the two options, given the heavy investment in DTs, but the lack of pass-rushers certainly doesn't get resolved by a change in scheme. If anything, 3-4 typically has more ability to scheme a rush of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had some flexibility there in the past 8 years... We've been without a true NT since Kris Jenkins... sure we've had these run stuffing hogs, but with a 3-4, you better have that mammoth NT like Ngata, or some real stallions at OLB to get after the QB... we've had neither dude. NEITHER in the last 8 years. So i disagree. Sure, we've made our bed this year, but like, commit to getting that NT or OLBs, or lets end this charade.

Hard to take your opinion seriously when you said Crowell was trash earlier this week. You said NT then DE. I don’t know what trying to point out, but disagree. If your NT is just a space eater, then you better have able OLB. or vice versa. We’ve largely had neither. That’s just a fact.

Thanks Damon. We’ve been decent against the run for a while now. He gets extra love for that but the best NT wreak havoc backfield as well. If we’re getting by with Damon, then we need some power players at OLB. This is pretty easy stuff. Pass rush needs to come from somewhere. We all know that. We’ve relying on an inflated Secondary to bail us out for nearly 10 years. In today’s NFL? That’s garbage.

Maybe they should give Pennel the snaps they are giving Shep. But they are trying to develop the pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he hurt? Right now, each of Bilal Powell and Robby Anderson have more solo tackles than he does. The Jets are going with a two man line a lot. He looked good early but right now the defense seems to be primarly this 2 man look. I think eventually people will figure out how to run on it. For now I guess the linebackers are shooting the right gaps and it isn't an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not getting blown out of the line and is sturdy. Anderson has been so good that he will have a tough time getting more playing time right now. Agree, he's a rookie. Just because he missed time and is a 25 year old rookie doesn't change the fact that he's a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to recall a game where he literally tossed the center into the appossing QB. Only player I could call as dominant was Shue and that was in college at Nebraska not at the Pro level. Sapp is a Hall of Famer and Ngata will be both had longer careers but don’t believe ether was as strong and could man handle an opponent the way Jenkins did.
