Chiefs DE Allen Bailey Miami - Page 7

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.

Country Strong!

What I love about Bailey is that he gives us a inside rusher right off the bat in a Nickel package. He can hopefully be developed into something permanent within the next couple of seasons... if that is 3-4 DE, 3-4 OLB or just strictly a pass rush specialist which we will have him doing right off the bat.

Look at it this way, with the base we have up front at 3-4 DE, adding someone like Bailey only makes your team that much tougher to defend and stop. I wish it wasn't the case, but T-Jack may just be a two down 5-Tech for the rest of his career?

So. I'm guessing "Country" is the nickname.

Or, maybe "Jethro".

"John Coffey"

Dante84 · 04-30-2011, 07:48 PM

Okay, so, I keep watching video of this dude, and I can't help but think he would make a disgusting Inside Linebacker. He is a brick shithouse and would kill anyone that got "around" Powe (as if that's possible).

With Dorsey and T-Jax at DE in the 4-3, and Powe at Nose, I think we would be best served having this dude in the middle backer spot.

I am probably talking out my ass, but look how he runs! He reminds me of a poor man's Ray Lewis only 8 times stronger/bigger.

Agree, this guy could become an apex ILB

I followed allen's high school career and saw him in a number of games. He was a beast and he had a very good career at Miami. He wanted to play lb so bad so he started out there, but he grew into a dlineman. As a dlineman he is indeed raw, but you get him being coached by the right coach and the sky is the limit due to his physical ability. Allen also is very coachable and that will be big the next few years for him in order for him to reach his full potential.

Can he play linebacker still? Reminds me of the Alabama linebacker the Raiders took last year.

It means that the team takes players for depth and rotations.

It's ****ing dumb.

"Baldwin could mean Bowe's gone when his contract is up"

"Houston could mean that Hali is gone after next year"

Now we get this one.

Jesus Christ.

You forgot about Carr. We picked aCB in the 4th, so now Carr is a gonner.

Always Doom, and Gloom.

jokes on you.

mcaj22 · 05-01-2011, 08:20 AM

this is my favorite pick of the draft because he's just a huge dude and has a chance to find a niche at multiple positions for this defense and offer something very unique.

I think this guy will end up being what everyone thought Vernon Gholston was going to be.
