He didn't really cuss at you....it's just the way some of us talk, are you offended?

What's that got to do with what Curry can or can't do with his skill set? You make it sound like it would be rocket science for Curry to rush the passer and that's just to far over the top. I don't have problem with drafting Raji though I just think Curry would be a good pick too. Honestly if Stafford is on the board and I can't get anyone to trade up for him I might just take him.

If pass rushing was as easy as coaching I don't think you'd see teams like the Chiefs set a record for the fewest amount of sacks...or see DE's get paid like QB's.

I just don't like that argument at all pass rushing is something guys either have or they don't very rarely does someone develop it and if they do it's usually only to a passable level.

I'd agree that LB's don't normally get taken very high. But DT's don't either. There's only been one DT taken top 3 in the last decade or so. Six in the last 20 years. And that list is Gerard Warren, Darrell Russell, Dan Wilkinson, Steve Entman, Russell Maryland, and Cortez Kennedy.

The thing is that there is nobody saying Curry can't rush the passer. People like Mayock say he can do it and he's not the only one.

Hey, that's not fair. Vonnie Holiday and Eric Hicks were coached into sack artists.
:D

His 9 sacks in his college career and the words out of his own mouth say he's not a polished pass rusher.

also, I don't know what the big deal is; Curry can beach coached. JFC, we have Crumrie.

:evil:

I'm simply putting it this way, this team obviously desires to be a 3-4 team, the most important position in a 3-4 is a nose tackle, without it you'll get killed up the middle.

If people want to point to the Pats all 3 of their Dlineman are 1st round picks...

But there is nothing that says he can't rush the passer in the NFL. He has the tools along with his coverage skills and his ability to take on and shed blocks on his way to making plays.


PhilFree:arrow:

No one knows if he has tools to rush the passer because he doesn't do it.

I'm not offended. But some of you need a Time Out. Do you think Pioli and his coaches, have already evaluated the talents of rushing linebackers. Maybe they think there is no talent there this year. Could be why they picked up Vrabel as a stopgap player. Was DeMarcus Ware a great pass rusher, or did he have all the physical skills?

DeMarcus Ware was a defensive end in college that racked up double digit sacks so yea.

I do think Raji is a good pick for the Chiefs. Obviously I like Curry too.

Let's either trade for Shaun Rogers or draft Ndamukong Suh next year. Suh could also play a little tight end
