Point taken here too...plus when u watch that video and you see the way Devito talks about Catapano it's with respect. It's not a veteran praising a rookie for making improvement but more like a guy who has been around saying hey, this guy is good. compares his development with Poe last year....thats some high praise right there. I bet by Sept Catapano wins the job over Bailey. Walker becomes Poe's back up/ #4 DE

With Dee Ford being the next DT and Cat being the next Jared allen working with Houston, Hali and Poe blowing up the middle and DJ busting through I am getting a huge boner for this D.

What is DeVito supposed to say? My teammate sucks? More fluff.

First, I want to know what the hell you are talking about in the perinthesised sentence.

Second, what we should be taking away from the praiseof Harris and Cat, respectively, is that Harris is catching everything thrown his way, which is really important in his development, and that Cat appears to have the same quicks to go along with his aded bulk.

Neither are guarantees that they will be successful, but they are positive and encouraging signs.

Makes for a good mentor.

:thumb: Great points. I can't think of Devito missing any tackles? :hmmm: The best one he made was against the (chargers) I think-the running back had a huge hole-looked like a jailbreak-Devito got one hand on him and ripped him backwards while body slamming him. There was a Gif of it on here somewhere?

Glad to see him helping Big Cat- he might just have a break out year.

Considering how much we run sub-packages......Walker was brought in to play DT next to Poe more than he was brought in to play DE in the 3-4.

Ya, but Devito said the kid gained "15-20 lbs AND got even faster" and called him a "dangerous weapon" comparing his growth to Poe's last year....you can call that fluff if you want but it sounds rather encouraging to me.

This is what I thought as well. Walker will basicly be a "rotation" guy but he is probably the first backup for DE or DT because of the packages we run and helping to disguise, minimal, what we are doing.
With the signing of Walker and the drafting of Ford we definitely have a lot more depth that should help in keeping the guys up front a lot fresher than they were last season.
The news that Berry is going to be playing some, hopefully a lot, FS this season is also a huge plus for our secondary.
Hopefully all these moves help our D to disguise what they are trying or wanting to do on any given play.

It would be great if he turned out to be a hidden gem.

We desperately need pressure from the front 3, and not just from Poe.

Because there is not words that can be used that appear positive while actually giving another player a mediocre review.
