Yes I looked it up finally - he's never played an NFL snap. I never knew that - that's clearly why there's not a better grasp on expectations around here. Makes sense - I'd imagine he'll do well though, once 'up to speed' |

Just kidding, I figure he will probably get lost in the mix. I don't think he has had ample time to learn our defense yet. |

If he can return 100% from that injury and learns how to maintain his gap, he has a chance to be a pretty special SILB. We'll see what happens.

He's special (I still believe) - just that learning curve. I'm not sure pre-season is enough to evaluate jack crap from a rook. No doubt that Buffalo would prematurely ejaculate by releasing him. I like the kid's heart - after watching him several games in college. I hope it translates - I think it will - just a matter of when. He seems nice.

I hope he flashes the talent that made him highly touted coming out of college. Expecting to see just adequate play, if he makes it onto the field.

I see a lot of Patrick Willis. Great recognition. Great instincts. Doesn't have the speed of a DJ or a Kuechly, but he puts every pound into his hits and uses his weight well.
Love this trade. |

If RR is what Veach thinks he is, I would expect him to make an impact in the second half of the season in short yardage situations. He's not DJ. He's a thumper.
