*****The Dorian O'Daniel Thread*****
More to come...

Quote:
Overview
Athletic linebackers like O'Daniel are earning high marks from NFL scouts because they need to cover the middle of the field in passing situations. ACC coaches recognized O'Daniel's talent in 2017, naming him second-team all-conference after he led the Tigers with 103 tackles, including 11.5 for loss and five sacks, as well as three pass breakups in 14 starts. One of the top outside linebacker recruits in the nation after an excellent high school career in the Washington, D.C. metro area (all-state in Maryland with 1,307 rushing yards, 18 touchdowns as senior, 16.5 tackles for loss, five sacks as junior). O'Daniel redshirted in 2013, and then got into the action regularly as a freshman, starting once and leading the team with 13 special teams tackles (had 31 total stops, sack) in 12 games played. He once again paced the team with 19 special teams stops in 2015, and was credited with 32 total tackles in 15 games as a reserve. Given a chance to play more on defense as a junior (10 starts in 15 games), O'Daniel used his quickness and tenacious nature to make 60 stops, 10 for loss, and 2.5 sacks.

What O'Daniel lacks in size and speed at the linebacker spot, he makes up for with production and consistency. He may not have the tools to become a quality full-time starter at linebacker, but his outstanding career as a special teams cover talent could be enough to earn him a roster spot and a place in the league for years to come.

Strengths
  • Madman on special teams
  • Finished career with 48 special teams tackles and most of them in kick coverage
  • Has a gift for playing past kick return blocks and maintaining focus on the returner
  • Technically sound as tackler
  • Sees what he hits and drives upper body into target while wrapping to finish
  • Possesses agility for lateral tackles against cutback runs
  • Hustles to contain against perimeter runs
  • Offers versatility
  • Played near the line and matched up on slot targets
  • Redirects routes with force
  • Reads and squeezes from zone
  • Finished 2017 with seven passes defensed including two pick-six interceptions

Weaknesses
  • Just one season as starter
  • Has the frame of a big safety, but is an average athlete in space
  • Is a little sluggish in his directional change and needs a runway to get accelerate to top speed
  • Pursuit speed is below par
  • Often blocked by smaller slot players against spread rushing attacks
  • Needs to prove he can beat blocks near the line of scrimmage on next level
  • Gives up separation when matched in man coverage
  • Plays upright and needs to do better job of anticipating routes

So O'Daniel and Niemann both got 0 snaps. We're approaching the midway point of the season. What the **** is going on? If this abortion of a defense still can't get the rookies on the field, and Breeland Speaks is too ****ing fat and useless, can Veach really feel that great about the work he's done the past year?

To piggyback on that. If Veach doesn’t fire Sutton, then what is Veach saying about himself? He spent an entire draft on defense. If it’s the personnel and not the coordinator, then who does Veach blame for that?

Well it’s about time...

Out of all our draft picks, I was most excited with this guy’s ceiling.

Good game for O'Daniel. It's too bad it took an injury to Terrance Smith to finally get him in the field, but Smith is a nobody and shouldn't see the field again. O'Daniel had at least one big tackle and had 4 tackles overall.

He seems pretty instinctual and can run, so yeah, just play him over Ragland all the time.

Although the ILB's actually looked competent last night so that was nice.

Man, that was just one of those Arrowhead primetime games. The other team just seems like they're in quicksand from the opening kick.

O’Daniel stood out yesterday. Didn’t know his number but saw somebody making decisive reads and flying to the ball so looked him up. One pass Mixon dropped, DOD would’ve blown him up in the backfield if he hadn’t. More of this guy, please.

Probably cut into Ragland’s snaps, which is a great thing.

Probably not. You know a lot of CPers don't want to give rookies time to develop. I am pretty excited to see more of O'Daniel.

Been waiting for DOD to flash and finally last night we saw a glimpse of what he potentially can do. As the season progresses I hope O'Daniel keeps earning more playing time- I really do feel he is the solution for the Chiefs in regards to covering RB's out of the backfield.

It had nothing to do with that. It was simply people wondering why guys like O'Daniel weren't playing when the players in front of them were playing like shit.

I've been waiting for O'Daniel to get on the field and he didn't disappoint! I thought he had a lot to offer coming out of college. Now if we can only get Watts back... along with a few others obviously.
