*UPDATE* Malik McDowell Was Misunderstood

Malik was originally a guy I was rooting for and hoping to see succeed in the NFL. He seemed like a monster and someone who just wasn't in the right situation at first glance.

Well, after his comments I'm questioning his IQ and sanity.

Well, hey he fills a need at safety amirite?

...

*UPDATE* So looks like this twitter guy took what McDowell said out of context.

Watch the interview video

1:15 onward

McDowell is saying that he has an unconventional style of using his hands to shed blocks and get to the back field and once his coaches saw that his techniques worked, they stopped trying to "fix" him. 

These kids are not paid to be articulate. Sometimes they say perfectly normal things in an awkward manner which could end up conveying the wrong message. 

So don't worry about McDowell. He'd be great at the 40th honestly, and he will probably fall that far.

Never have been high on him.  Only thought he May creep into the bottom of the 1st

Theres a reason he's one of the top athletes here and upside but the majority of Mocks have him going 20 at the highest and some have him going as low as mid to low 2nd

 

i had him mocked to the Seahawks because there won't be a OT worth picking there and he has upside.  They deal with guys off field stuff all the time

Sounds like Greg Hardy. Hardy's production and physical traits sounded like a round 1 guy as a junior, but a subpar senior year and likely that personality dropped him in the draft. These "uncoachable traits" could drop him on some mentally weak teams. Teams that have a strong leadership on the field, and coaches that can direct his personality will get a steal then.

 

Reading up on Malik, one controversial quote was how he likes to embarrass OL in practice. Some would take that as a guy who would be a locker room problem. Not me. Personally, the OL should step up or step out in practice when he starts that. If they can't take him in practice, either improve or next guy up. Should be more a motivator than a demoralizer. If it spills off the practice field, yes that is when it is a problem, but that is not what has been said about him. 

 

If Malik brings same desire to embarrass the opposition on Sunday, good. Need a few more guys like that. 

 

Are we now a choirboys only team?

      I don't know about you but I have been a life long Chiefs fan for the past 4 years.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Sure there's a ton of transplants in Colorado now. But as far as Denver in particular goes the Broncos have also been around for 65 years. Someone moving to Denver is going to be far more likely to become a fan of the Broncos and even attend games versus someone moving to Charlotte and the Panthers. Like I said it's not just one single thing with us it's multiple factors.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      He's definitely getting better. It's fun to watch.  I've been getting killed for this take, but with the current state of college football, it just takes more time to develop a quarterback. I don't think it's a plug and play position anymore. I'm really not sure if it ever was. NFL offenses have always been substantially more complex than the college game, and the college game has simplified even more in recent years. Many college teams do not have a physical playbook anymore. That's just not the national football league.  Are there freaks who have success from day 1? Yes, without question. But so many of those guys are runners, and so many of those guys tail off. Is Bryce ever going to be Josh Allen? Probably not.  What I am seeing is a guy with complete command of the offense. He's checking into things at the line, making adjustments, and making timely throws.  He goes to David Moore a ton, because Moore is a consistent route runner. Bryce knows where he is and when he should be open. I think the guy with the "super processor" needs to be comfortable in the offense in order to do the "super processing." He doesn't have elite arm talent, and he is small of stature, but if he makes the smart play consistently, and he's willing to throw the ball downfield and not make mistakes, like he's starting to show, he's going to be a starter for a long time in this league, and it's not a position I'd spend draft capital right now.
