Rookie DE Marquis Haynes is fuggin fast

I really expected him to go to a 3-4 team. He's definitely intriguing. I just hope we can figure out how to properly utilize him. At least Rivera has experience in both the 4-3 and the 3-4, though we haven't exactly seen this hybrid defense with elements of both schemes that he talked about upon his hiring. It seems we always get promised one thing, then fed the same old thing. Remember when drafting Shaq was going to allow us to play a little more base D? Yeah...

gotta admit, when we drafted him I couldn't understand what we were thinking.  

Now I understand.

Same.  Was a questionable draft pick in my mind, but the idea of him speed rushing right on by an OT, pushing the QB to step up into Poe/KK? Yes please.

Haynes being undersized has everything to do with his weight not his height.  He's 6'3''.

Yeah

Haynes is 6'3, but he did say post draft he was aiming to come into camp at 240-245

For comparison 

Vic Beasley is 6'3 245

    • Okay, that day in Vegas had to embarrass him completely. Andy showed him how to do the job.  What I think when I go there, why did it take Andy? He has had game after game of watching actual NFL QBs work and that didn't do it?  Anyhow Andy did not mess around, he stood in there and did his job and got rid of the ball ahead of the pressure. Down the field. With the same players Bryce had. Night and day.  If that didn't wake him up nothing ever would. But I don't think he has any sort of top NFL QB in him, he just lacks the full tool kit. 
    • Team is dangerous right now, all four lines are contributing and the speed at which the guys play at is tremendous.
    • And every nfl player wannabe tries to up their draft position through things like the combine and theyre all basically lying though those drills theyve practiced hundreds of times that have little bearing on if theyre a good football player. The pro days are even worse. All you have to do is dupe 1 team. Is it right? No. But until teams put more emphasis on college tape vs. What they did in shorts with no defense it'll happen every year. I doubt there is a single player that wouldn't try anything to up their draft prospects.  Young had years of tape and that shouldve been what the decision was based on. Not a scale and throwing in shorts.  ( btw I think the combine and pro days are 90% a waste of time) Young has it financially made already. It's up to him if he wants to be a good football player too. I think the benching was the best thing that could've happened to him. It remains to be seen if it was enough
