Dorsey spoke very breifly about the D-Line rotating in his conference call.

It sounds like they know what we know, and that is that these guys could be extremely effective throughout a game if used right.

Also, Dorsey says they plan to start Russell out as an outside corner in practices. So, yeah his odds look that much better I think.

He says he PLANS to?

That doesn't sound like Andy Reid. Typically Reid starts out with the vets and forces the rookie to win the job.

He means they plan to practice him as an outside corner, not place him at the top of the depth chart

Mizzou fans, cover your eyes. This tape is nothing but Chris Jones sodimizing Missouri. He legitimately could have had 4 sacks in this game if he gets the QB down a couple times.

Viewers discretion is advised.

That's bullshit Dane. Come on.

Karl Joseph is a good center field type safety. He's not a box safety but he's an Early Thomas type (not saying he is him, but will be used similarly). The guy had like 5 INT's in 4 games last year. He's a good player and it sucks to see him go there.
Bosa is an obvious threat. I don't know why that's so hard to admit. He looks like a solid pass rusher for 10 years.
Denver lacked the most here. Lynch won't do much if he even plays next year and Gotsis is an poor man's Derek Wolfe. Blue collar try hard guy.

The Raiders have solid talent, but I don't think Del Rio will use it to its potential, plus Carr still crumbles under pressure.
This division should be ours this year. If it's not then wow what an embarrassment that would be.

Oh, and I don't want to count on Jimmy Wilson or Marcus Cooper. I'm all for drafting a S. Watching Jimmy Wilson on NFLN really made me dislike him.

I love Joseph. Probably my favorite player in the entire draft. But, if they put him in the box and let Nelson play centerfield, that's a mistake. Should've never wasted the money on Nelson if they were going to do this IMO.

Here is Russell tape vs USC. Amazing athleticism and closing speed. Great tackling.

He didn't turn his head at :40

I'm sorry, a short safety coming off an ACL doesn't concern me.

Bosa seems like the classic bust, just like his father. Telesco has sucked as a GM.

Lynch is a HUGE project. Smaller school. The guy has NEVER taken a 3, 5 or 7 step drop.

The Raiders are the Raiders. Always overdrafting players.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!


Those words will never be spoken, regardless.

As it stands right now, based on the comments, it appears that the top 3 corners will be Peters, Russeli and Gaines, leaving Nelson as the dime.

If Russell proves to be as good as some of you think he might be, and Gaines can stay healthy, that seems to be a pretty talented group.

Yeah, it's going to be a tough defense.

Anyone hear any updates on Houston's return? Which week is he scheduled to return.

I was really hoping we'd go G with our late 2nd but there was a need at CB as well.

Edit: and if we can get McGovern with a 4th I'll JIMP...

That would add competition/depth to DL, G, and CB...
