I said it toward the beginning of the season, he is the best college player I have seen from
any position during my lifetime except for Peyton. You CANT pass on a player like him if he is on the board when you are on the clock.
He will be
Reggie White. His defense will win Championship
s. His presence would let our QB sleep better at night because of how much less will be on his shoulders. He would make Tamba a probowler.
WE JUST GAVE UP 286 YARDS RUSHING
AT HOME
TO A ****ING 3RD STRING RB
FROM A 2 WIN TEAM
! We NEED a SUH!
I also say it is foolish/misinformed to say that we would have to change to a 4-3 to draft him. We would have to tweak the scheme to a gap penetrating one where the nose is used similarly to how Dallas uses theirs to accommodate for Dorseys strengths. THAT IS BASICALLY WHAT DORSEY WAS DRAFTED FOR. He went so high because he could be in the a gap before the olinemen got set up. THATS WHAT HE WOULD BE DOING. This is why I have mentioned Wade Phillips so much in my thoughts about our possibilities for our DC position. His defense keyed by Dorsey and SUH would definitely be CHAMPIONSHIP calibur!
...SUH Dorsey Jackson
Hali... ___ ....___.... ___
Flowers Carr
Morgan...Page
Add a couple more linebackers and THAT defense is SET for some time to come and will consistently get better and grow together for the next 10 years..Fix the oline and receivers with the rest of FA/draft and we could be MUCH improved next year even with SUH going through rookie pains.
Suh could be the rare type of 3-4 end that can average 7-9 sacks per year and shut down the run to his side almost single-handedly.
As some are saying, he transcends the position.
