Draft Scout Snapshot: DS Rating on 8/24/08: #11 DT, #145/750 Overall, Projected Rnd: 5

He earned honorable mention All-Big 12 honors by the league coaches, and was also an honorable mention All-Colorado performer as selected by the state's chapter of the National Football Foundation. He played in all 12 games, including eight starts at defensive tackle, and was in for 601 snaps from scrimmage. He had 50 tackles (31 solo), with his 13 tackles for loss the second most on the team; his two-and-a-half quarterback sacks tied for the third most. He also had seven hurries, four third down stops, two fumble recoveries, one caused, and three passes broken up.

2005: 11 GP; 0 GS; 5 Sol-10 TT, 1 TFL, 1 PBU, 3 QBH; He saw action in 12 games including the Champs Sports Bowl (no starts), playing for the first time against New Mexico State in the second game of the year. He saw most of his action at tackle, but he did play some at end, especially around midseason when the position was hit hard by injury. In playing 203 snaps from scrimmage, he was in on 10 tackles (five solo), with one for a loss; he also registered three third down stops, three quarterback hurries and a chasedown (near sack). The coaching staff never considered redshirting him after the first impressions he made at the start of fall camp.

How big is he AK? And Hypolite sounds like a golf club shaft company, not a DT.

"I just put a new 70 gram Hypolite shaft on my r9 driver and added 20 yards to my tee shot!"

Strengths

Very active DT who makes a lot of plays. Very quick off the ball and into gaps. Good athleticism and agility. Plays low with leverage and has good strength for his size. Excellent instincts and is tough to fool on draws and screens. Excellent on stunts. Pursues hard and plays to the whistle.

Weaknesses

Small DT who can be engulfed by big linemen and double teams; strictly a one-gap player. Not an elite pass rusher, but gets some pressure.

Projection

Not the NFL prototype but too good not to make it. Will be a second-day pick and could start for a team like Indianapolis.

how ironic...

Not a first team, second or third team all conference...but an honorable mention. Man this guy is going to be good. A camp body for sure.

I hope Hurney is burning up the phone lines ('airwaves' contemporarily speaking) getting us a Chris Harris type of trade.

Maybe Irvin can take Maake's spot, and this Hypolite character can play behind Lewis? Seems like he's definitely the kind of tackle Meeks might have worked with in Indy.

I just don't know about these smaller guys; we face a lot of great backs this season, and I hope we don't get run all over.

I know it was preseason, but do you remember how our 'beefed up' OL just man-handled Indy in the preseason game last season? They were pushing them 3-5 yards off the LOS. Smaller, quicker guys are fine if they don't get locked down, but once they do, the OL will just put them in reverse. (See Giants game with no Kemo.)

      Has Cade Mays proved to be our starting center, or do we look for another?

      By BeenPounding · Posted

      Corbett knows he needs to take a prove it deal and I think he will.  I watched an interview and he was convincingly adamant he wants to stay.  Two different injuries in two years was bad luck.  It's not like it was the same thing.  He knows the game and figures to end his career in a place where he is happy.  You can't really compare how Bryce did with Mays compared to AC.  AC was hurt week 5.  Bryce was on the bench after week 2 and didn't return until week 8. Mays is basically under team control next year as a RFA.  We could offer the right of first refusal for 3m.  I'd offer a 2 year deal which averages a little higher so you can manipulate the cap on his deal.  Additionally, I'd resign Corbett to a team friendly deal.  Many forget he has positional versatility like BC.  Corbett is only one year older, is two inches shorter, about 10 pounds heavier, and has arms that are one inch longer.  Corbett has played LT in college and guard/center in the NFL.  Ideally, bring back all three, but if BC gets big time $$$ AC and CM can battle for center and the other becomes a swing lineman. If we cut bait on Yosh Nijman we may be able to keep all three.  I'd sign up for that in a heartbeat.

      As fans, we often exaggerate how bad our team owner is because we are so invested and focused on our team. We don't really see how bad other team owners, like Woody Johnson or Robert Kraft, because we are focused on the Panthers.
