Chiefs DE Allen Bailey Miami - Page 13

Hammock Parties · 04-29-2011, 07:49 PM

COUNTRY STRONG!

Height: 6-3
Weight: 285
Speed: 4.78
Arm: 34
Hand: 10 1/4
Wingspan: 82 1/4
Birthdate: 03/25/1989
Hometown: Sapelo, GA
Grade: 5.67

Notes: Also played basketball as a prep. Highly recruited linebacker-fullback who played just four games as a senior because of a stress fracture in his back. Grew up in the village of Hog Hammock on Sapelo Island, a tiny (approximately 100 residents), remote location 15 miles off the coast of Georgia. Bailey commuted 45 minutes — by ferry, then by bus — to attend school. Spent nights sleeping at a teammate’s house on the mainland during the season. Saw limited action, mostly on special teams, in all 12 games as a true freshman in 2007 and recorded four tackles without a tackle for loss or sack. Tore a pectoral muscle after ’08 spring practice and sat out the season opener against Charleston Southern but started 4-of-13 games at left end and notched 24-9-5. In ’09, started 8-of-13 games — five at left defensive tackle and three at right defensive end — and posted 34-11-7 with two batted passes and two forced fumbles. Started all 13 games at left defensive end in ’10, although he moved inside on some third-down plays, and recorded 45-11-7 with one pass batted down. Team captain.

Positives: Has raw, brute, country strength and is chiseled like a Greek god. Physical marvel. Very strong at the point of attack and can set the edge, push the pocket and anchor vs. the double-team. Almost never gets knocked off the ball and has exceptional two-gap strength. Outstanding energy and effort — runs to the ball. Has a 36-inch vertical jump and good lower-body explosion. Strong tackler. Outstanding character. Highly motivated, hardworking and driven to succeed.

Negatives: Average instincts and awareness. Does not have an arsenal of pass-rush moves and relies too much on the bull rush. Too robotic and mechanical in his movement. Has a tendency to play very upright and struggles to unlock his hips. Lacks an innate feel for the game and is late to react to what he sees. Cannot create one-on-one. Can be more disciplined with his eyes.

Summary: A big, tightly wound, country-strong bookend whose lackluster Senior Bowl performance clearly emphasized a lack of instincts that could drive down his value. Nonetheless, is a physical marvel with rare strength and could be programmed to serve as a fencepost in an odd front. Scheme-diverse and has eventual starter potential as a base end, kicking inside in passing situations, or as a five-technique in a 3-4 front.

NFL projection: Second- to third-round pick.

I would have to agree. Hailey, vermeil, and herm at least got something from most of their players. Romeo has them coasting.

dude, this team is such a classic 'chicken-or-the-egg' dilemna. I'm so shellshocked, but I know you're right. RAC was a terrible coach in Cleveland, and he's ****ing terrible here. Pioli could've traded up for Andrew Luck and he would look like shit right now, because this team is in such unorganized disarray...

it's stunning, the amount of epic fail from the top to bottom of the organization.

It's true.

The difference in talent between this team and the 2-14 is unparralled - this team has WAY more top-end talent...and may not match the 2008 record.

Haley told Brian Waters he could 'win 2 games with guys off the street', and I think he meant it....

I don't think RAC can win 2 games this year, period.

Remember early in the offseason when Romeo changed the schedule? Said it was "inefficient" and guys didn’t know where to be. Now they have the same schedule every day...

I'm thinking that Haley custom tailored practices and classroom sessions notnonly to the team, but to the player. What they NEEDED to work on, they did. Players struggling with their assignments in the running game one week might spend more time focusing on that with a coach the next week.

Romeo's "one size fits all", everyone knows where they need to be approach isn't working. I think that is a large part of things, along with lack of discipline and direction.

Romeo's used to one size fits all clothing, and clearly that passion has translated over to coaching the team...

And there it is.

Truth.

Imagine RAC and Daboll "coaching up" Luck.

I don't want these guys around whoever we draft as our QB in the first round in 2013. (And I'm telling you right now, the pressure to draft a first round QB is immense for the Chiefs. You see the factoids about the lack of a 1st round QB for the Chiefs since whenever every single game. The fan base demands it. Hunt will lose thousands of seats if he doesn't, and stands to gain thousands of seats if he does.)

I personally think Geno Smith has the biggest upside of any QB in the 2013 draft, but at this point, I really don't care if it's Barkley, Wilson or whoever. It's got to happen.
