I remember a while back it was mentioned that he went back to school. 2 A's, 4 B's & 1 C. Today the reporter from Newsday (Tom Rock) mentioned he came to camp weighing 256lbs up from 248lbs last year. Body Fat was lower as well.
I believe you add that up and it shows discipline and focus. No doubt much has to be demonstrated on the field before he gets an opportunity to start, but I'm excited by what he might bring to the table this year. This D-Line is heading in the right direction, and I think he can be a big part of it.
Tom Rock also said this of him... "said Spags' system is more similar to what he played at Texas A& M. If given opportunity, he believes he will thrive."
Dicipline, Focus, and Confidence...nuff said
Let's see it!
I'm hoping they can carve a niche for him that plays to his strengths and use that to bring him along as he's beginning to mature as a Pro. Unfortunately situational pass rushers suffer in terms of opportunities when you're a team that plays from behind as much as we do.
Pretty much my thoughts as well. When your team sucks ass, throw caution to the wind and let the dogs off the leash.
Kiwi- 558 snaps, 28 tackles, 2.5 sacks
Moore- 302 snaps, 32 tackles, 5.5 sacks
First of all, how do you manage just 28 tackles in over 500 plays? That truly is pathetic. Despite playing a little more than half of the snaps Kiwi did Moore managed to put up better numbers. Break it down a little more and Kiwi was averaging a tackle every 20 plays, Moore averaged a tackle every 10. Twice the production with half the opportunity.
Barring a truly special performance from Odi I'll be very surprised if Moore isn't starting. He'll be 23 and already entering his third season. Turn the kid loose. Considering who was playing in front of him last year it's passed time.
These factors alone, should make him better:
1)Experience
2)Better Def. Coordinator
3)Another year in the weight room putting on both more weight and muscle.
Thanks, you made choke on my soda. Comic relief to start the day. Nice.
It will be interesting to see how Spags deploys him, as he might be athletic enough to play some Elephant looks (5th DL), but he's got to demonstrate mental grasp and consistency versus the rush.
good hypothesis. we'll see for sure this year, won't we.
;)
Harrah....Hurrah?
Moore......design some shoulder pads with A/C units built in...
Double O.....design some hip pads with some A/C units built in....
Selvie.....will not make you forget Tuck, or maybe even Kiwi...
Stanton...another UDFA and he was a Tackle last year...
Wynn.....UDFA.....he is what he is...
Jenkins....a wish and a prayer....
Only JPP and Selvie have real NFL experience......Jenkins is old....the rest are basically rookies.....and some come with A/C baggage.....
Spags, keep an eye on that waiver wire....
