Gettleman on Boston "He sets a tone, he's a very physical player"

[Jimmy]

From what I've read he is a ball hawk but tends to let plays get behind him.  But the more you read the more you realize some of these are toss ups if you go by the "expert" analysis. One says he is a hard hitter, another says he needs to be more physical. 

 

 

 

NFL.com: Uneven performer whose average athleticism, questionable physicality and immaturity will turn teams off. 

 

 

 

CBSSports: Looks the part of an NFL safety with a chiseled physique and good overall athleticism. Highly physical defender who attacks the line of scrimmage in run support, demonstrating aggressive hands and impressive upper body strength.

Here is the game a few years ago when he got fricken abused my Michael Rocco... I mean seruously Rocco (who is now at Richmond).

If there's anything I'm trusting, it's a Ron Rivera defense.  They got guys with a good balance of athleticism, tenacity, and ballhawking ability.  

 

They believe they are coachable so I'm going with it at least on the defensive side given how big of a turn around we've seen in the last 2 years.

Hopefully he loves to inflict pain like Mitchell did.

He doesn't look very physical in the things I have seen of him. But what do I know?  This was my least favorite pick but we will see..

Nothing intimates a WR like a hard hitting safety. I guess that's what Gman means by "setting the tone."

I'm excited to see what Boston can bring

Except maybe some flowers and chocolate.

At first I was like...

But then...

I lol'd.

He is a pretty sure tackler... maybe he gets some playing time on downs like 2nd and 5 when you can expect a run.

"boston sets the tone"

it just doesn't have the same ring as "stah set the bah" but i guess its still early.

I would rather have a safety that intimidates a Wr than being intimate with one, but I guess if the wr isn't paying attention, win-win.

So this is supposed to be getting abused is it. A pick for a TD and a fumble recovered. Yeah, that late play where he lets the guy by him is bad but sometimes I wonder what people expect from players. Do you expect the guys to be making every play in the game?

 

 

First off, he got burned three times.

 

Second, the interception was not due to his coverage skills; the ball was thrown right to him.

 

Third, he didn't recover the fumble (I was at the game).

 

Oh... and it was against a DI-AA (Rocco) and a DII QB (Simms).
