Do you not agree that the pass rush needed help last year? Speaks is a pass rusher. Do you not agree that we couldn’t stop the run last year on the edge opposite Houston or up the middle? That’s why Speaks and Nnandi were drafted. Do you not agree that Sorenson sucked as a money backer and nobody could cover a TE after Berry got hurt? That’s why O’Daniel was drafted. Do you not agree that safety outside of Berry was really bad last year? That’s why Armani Watts was drafted

I thought he looked better as the game wore on, but i can't say if that's because he got better or his competition got worse.
He looked slow coming out of college and he was never billed as a speed guy, so him being slow last night didn't even register on my radar. That was a given. He clearly has a lot to work on. We knew that. He's not a starter this season and i expect we'll see a better Breeland Speaks next season.

The guy who jumped off the screen last night was Kpass. He was an absolute terror early on.

Yeah it's still way too early but I'm not really a fan of Veach this board overates him as a GM.

Watched the replay and I liked what I saw from Speaks. He got around the corner and had a nice bullrush one time.
Weeden was getting the ball out quick so no real opportunity for a sack from anyone.

For reference, Chase Daniel ran a 4.8 40-yard dash. 10 years ago.

Veach Saturday on what he's seen so far from second-round pick Breeland Speaks:
"The guy is really athletic for that size, and we have some flexibility. We've already seen his ability to set an edge and play the run, and I think he's learning how to pass rush from the outside as a standup backer. But moving forward, he'll be able to kick inside and do some interior rush with guys like Chris Jones and Allen Bailey because he is 280 pounds. "Just because in the preseason we just rushed four up the field doesn't mean we aren't getting creative. We already know he can out there and play in base downs and he can set an edge and play the run, but he can also rush from the 3-technique and probably also play 5-tech moving forward (if we need it). "He's a valuable defensive line commodity that because of how we're set up with our depth right now is going to help us best at outside linebacker with keeping Justin [Houston] and Dee [Ford] healthy in regards to limiting their reps. But he's also a guy that in the future who could play anywhere across the board, so that's the value we saw in how he's possibly going to affect the roster in year two and year three." ———————— Sounds like Speaks will be kicking inside on passing downs some. Just what I had hoped. He’s also 280, which is pretty crazy. |

He's still taking his front foot and picking it up and putting it back down in the same spot...how can a coaching staff not realize this?
