Chiefs DE Allen Bailey Miami - Page 9

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 just watched the highlights from the Ravens game in the "Berry" thread, and it got me thinking.

TE's just killed us all year. Our coverage was lock-down on the corners and deep. Our Run-D was infinitely better this year. It was just the TE's & big WR's across the short middle that killed us all year.

Maybe Bailey's role will be to jam the TE's at the line on those plays where a TE is likely to try a short middle route? Put him square up on the TE on those 3rd and 5-10 yard situations. He would knock the shit out of them, messing up the timing, and allowing Tamba/Houston to get in and wreck shit.

I should not laugh, but it's funny.

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.

I see him getting plunger raped if asked to cover the middle of the field.

I can't understand how this guy isn't a perfect 5-tech.

He's huge, he's strong as hell and he's athletic as hell. He's not terribly agile and some question his football IQ. It seems like his strengths are all vital to an excellent 5 tech and his weaknesses are all compounded by playing linebacker.

He appears to be a perfect fit for a 5-tech and a guy that's likely to be as good as Jackson almost immediately.

I said in the draft thread that I believe that's why they drafted a big physical CB in Jalil Brown. Big, and strong enough to jam TEs at the line of scrimmage, and has the cover skills to cover receiving TEs like Gates.
His size will eliminate the match up problems we've been having with TEs, and allow us to send Hali, and Houston after the QB.
Good plan if you ask me.

Unless we can get Krummie back to get the slap drill going he'll never be a good 5 tech.

He is not going to play ILB.

He's going to be one of these three things or a combination:

1. 5-tech
2. Inside nickel pass rusher
3. OLB

Pioli said he was a potential OLB prospect.

-King- · 05-02-2011, 12:14 PM

His vertical was only 5.5 inches lower than Baldwins

Thats just ridiculous.

**buddha** · 05-02-2011, 12:20 PM

I forsee Five Tech for this beast. There are plenty of guys you can use for coverage without trying to bang this square peg into that round hole. I think Jackson had better get his shit together very, very quickly.

That's my thought.

The guy is a turnkey 5-tech. Teach him to get off the line better and run straight into 2 guys each play. Even if he never learns to rush the passer, his strength and size along should occupy two blockers.

He should be immediately capable of contributing as a 5-tech and could develop into an elite one.

Chiefnj2 · 05-02-2011, 12:34 PM

He's a 280 + pound non-instinctive player who is known primarily for his bullrush. He's a 5 tech.

So do you have faith in Jackson to develop? Is so, do you consider bulking up Dorsey to play the nose?

If nothing else, we seem to have a good rotation put together, no? If Powe can play 1st and 2nd down, you can move Dorsey to NT on passing downs alongside Jackson and Bailey to push upfield.
