    Agreed. I think this new regime has seen what several other teams have been able to do through the draft by drafting BPA and has decided to do the same

    I think the biggest thing the FO is looking at is the future, not just the now. Everyone wants that big splash for this year, but if you add a bunch of medium splashes it ends up being a Tsunami for years to come.

    I am thinking they will rely on the new DT to help with the run, and that we will finally have someone who can cover a TE on the roster.

    Do you people forget how many 3rd and longs were converted against us last season?

    Outside LB are not expected to make a ton of tackles.

    The best outside LB we've ever had was Keith Bulluck. Nobody in their right mind would claim that he was a smash mouth guy that made a ton of tackles. They are expected to be able to blitz, cover, and be athletic. Brown needs to work on his blitz game, but everything else is there.

    LT was a once in a lifetime 4-3 backer. And if I remember correctly his play was the start of the 3-4 defense in the NFL.

    That's a terribly inaccurate statement. Bulluck lead the team in tackles almost every year he was a starter.

    Beat me to it.

    Bulluck was a sure tackler. Zach Brown couldn't tackle ME if I were running in a potato sack race.

    Don't give yourself too much credit, even if he's awful at taking angles he can still take you down if you're trying your hardest to run away.

    You seen this guy try to tackle?

    Wouldn't take any effort on my part. He'll brush my leg with his shoulder- purposely avoiding contact.

    I posted this video on the Solomon Scott thread. Of all our draft picks this guy Zach Brown concerns me the most. Spend the next 6 minutes and watch this video. He can absolutely fly to the ball when he puts effort but he really does seem to AVOID contact. I hope we can get'em coached up and make contact with a full head of steam. He looks like he just wiffs when trying to make a tackle...
