yoo hoo....Mr. Pioli....
 

You're gonna eat a lot of crow...


At the Seahawks’ OTAs and minicamps this offseason, the ’09 draft’s fourth overall selection has picked right up where he left off in Indy, displaying unexpectedly strong pass-rush skills that bode well for a defense that experienced a significant decline last season.

“At the last minicamp, it was the first time he stepped up as a down lineman in passing situations a la Julian Peterson, and he just blew everyone away,” a veteran source on the scene told PFW.

“He’s the only rookie who has been told flat-out that he was going to start from the get-go, and he never stops working. He’s always going 100 miles per hour. At Wake Forest, the focus was more on him dropping into coverage, and he just didn’t have to use his pass-rush skills as much. But they’re very evident.

“The coaches are really excited because, with Curry and Leroy Hill, who had 7½ sacks as a rookie, they have two outside linebackers who can both blitz and drop into coverage, which should make the defense a lot more versatile.”

We hear Curry is also drawing rave reviews off the field.

“They’ve been very impressed with him in the meeting rooms,” the source said. “The coaches are really stressing the need for the players to see the entire picture, to get a better understanding of what the other guys will be doing, and he’s doing that well. He’s also extremely articulate, a great kid who is fun to talk to. You ask him a question, and he always comes back with intelligent, thoughtful answers that just seem to flow very naturally.

“He’s the total package. He’s big and fast, and he’s got really quick hips. You keep looking for the slightest flaw, but there just haven’t been any. The only thing might be that he doesn’t know the entire defense — yet.”

From profootballweekly....I like the shows amazing pass rush skills part...:shake:

Curry may be Jesus, but Jackson is Pontius Pilate baby!

You like Aaron Curry, eh? What's that all a-boot?

Wow. A fourth-overall draft pick is impressing in organized team activities in June. Woo hoo!!!! Start carving Seattle's name on the Lombardi! :jerkit:

When did Pioli say Curry can't rush the passer?

That was a few turds on an internet forum.

Jesse Haynes drew rave reviews...AT PRACTICE. Let's wait until they actually put on pads.

meh, we needed an anchor, we got one. We got what they felt was needed. Way to damned early to be saying who is and who isnt a bust.

I think you are getting Pioli confused with the Sanchez reerun group around here.

Didn't Dick Vermeil say something like Derrick Johnson was the greatest athlete he'd ever coached?

Not possible. I read on Chiefs Planet that because he didn't do it in college, he couldn't do it in the NFL. Anyone who said otherwise was the biggest idiot ever in the history of the interwebs.

No, what you read is that since he didn't do it in college there wasn't any way to know with any certainty that he could do it in the NFL.

Saying that he could definitely do it was making a claim that there wasn't any evidence to support.

That said.....

WooHoo!!!!!

He's an OTA All Pro!!!!

Its the time of year we sell tickets, get some pressers out on the new kid.

We are doomed!!!!

Where's GoChiefs' article on Croyle from last year's training camp?
