If you believe the claim they got 2 out of the top 4 on their board it worked out great.... for the defense. Which should be set for a while. Couples to play more OLB?
Watch the Bama game from Richardson. 14 tackles and a sack against that OLine is beast mode. [YOUTUBE]7x1EGquKKEs[/YOUTUBE]
When I watched the Bama game I was like hmmm maybe he's not that bad after all...then I watched the SC game and I went from considering switching fanbases to liking our 1st round. Yep. Just as an aside in the Kentucky game he did get washed out quite a bit by Warford but in that game he also got a freakishly absurd athletic TFL turned ball strip/pick it up on the run and bring it back 70 yards (wtf?) and he was all over the place when he wasn't on Warford who seemed to have a bit of help at times as well. Actually looking forward to watching all the other games that are uploaded when I get a chance now.
Richardson's combine press interview. Can't help but love his attitude. [YOUTUBE]IzmaQjwIkwg[/YOUTUBE]
His hustle is insane, just watched the Flordia game, he may have more sideline to sideline speed than Harris lol. He does tend to try and get skinny to bust through a gap and get washed out of running plays. It's the one big negative I can find. Everything else is gold.
He's a beast, freakish. I don't think he's a pure NT by any stretch of the imagination and can see him lining up anywhere along the front. What he lacks in size he more than makes up for in speed. This fella will develop nicely, very good pick , nice!
I hear ya. When the pick was made I was not thrilled, but honestly the way things fell I had little idea who we would pick there. I was hoping for Vaccaro or Floyd. Having gone back and watched 4 of his games now I'm on the Richardson bandwagon. Our D Line should be nasty. Reading up a bit more, his arms are almost three inches long then Floyd. 34 1/2 to 31 7/8. Rex loves D Line with long arms, so the picture gets even clearer.
He's almost a pure 3T. He has the athletic ability to do anything. Along the line.... In the combine interview he said he returned kicks in high school at 260 pounds.... Now that's fucking scary lol.
Plus Mo is stout against the run, Coples already has plenty of his moments against the run and will probably turn into an all around beast and Ellis will eat up blocks. He's not going to get knocked over a lot or anything against the run so all he has to do is hold his own to have a stout running game. But now the pass rushing threats from the D line are going to be pretty much impossible to nullify without extra protection/schemes. Very exciting really.
See .. most of us dont agree with the pick but doesnt this make it better lol ? i mean the kid is insanely talented. i think i see Idzik's logic from a different view now.
One thing I'm loving on these Milliner highlights is seeing how physical he can get and his tackling ability. It's very underrated aspect of the CB game, and we had a very good tackling CB in Revis, glad to see it is unlikely we lose that part of our CB game, helps us contain the edge on run plays.
Theres no doubting his blitzing skills either... just wish he would play man to man better thats a skill set i seen in DJ Hayden, But Milliner is aggressive as hell if he can locate the ball,and play man to man better he could be something big... and Thurman can sure as hell make sure he progesses into that. look at cromartie he use to not be able to tackle worth shit and couldnt locate the ball at all... he would get beat bad on deep passes.. now look at him.
