I was being facetious.
I'm not on the fence. |

I have a hard time figuring anyone was banging on the table for Sam LaPorta in the 1st or Keanu Benton. I liked a bunch of the DL (almost all more than FAU) but none of them have done dick. Foskey, Ojulari, Hall, White - all pretty irrelevant. Tuipulotu would've been a scheme fit problem here, IMO. Anybody gonna say they had Nacua or Tank Dell as 1st round picks? This just wasn't an early-impact class. Shit happens. Pure hindsight sure says "Man, Sam LaPorta would be awfully nice to have right now" but I seems kinda ridiculous to hold that against Veach - I don't think anyone really thought that would've been a wise decision at the time. Kincaid has come on annoyingly strong but like Addison and Flowers, they weren't available at our pick and we tried, but failed, to move up. Draft really fell off at that WR run. From there on, there weren't a slew of great choices. I suspect we got past Veach's "X number of First Round talents" figure. His efforts to move up in the first certainly support that as well. {shrug} Just consider Rice a 1st rounder and FAU a second, then all is well. |

Maybe he's lifting weights in the training room too much and getting stiff. Gotta be a reasonable explanation as to lack of production.
136 snaps and 1 sack Maybe some yoga classes would help |

I mean what more explanation is needed? That's 3 games worth of snaps to this point; you figure he should be at 5 sacks? He's fine. |

Meh. In my mind Rice was the first round pick and FAU is the second round pick and it is more palatable.

FAU has done what people who do their homework expect. Justyn Ross was undrafted, didn't do shit while he was playing and has a fan page with 10k followers. go figure.

We have a pretty solid DL (defense tied for 5th in NFL for sacks) and folks are upset that a rookie isn't pushing for more time?
I mean, ok, I guess. |

This is another thread that’s going to be fun to revisit in a few years when this dude is raping faces to laugh at all the geniuses who were already writing him off halfway through his rookie season.

Fact remains, until the staff gets him on a regular Yoga program he'll never develop.
