Media reaction to Star Lotulelei

[Bronn]

They were talking about picks this morning on Mike and Mike and when they came to Star, the only thing they really said was that it was a good pick, even though they thought Floyd would have been the better pick for a 4-3 defense like ours.

2013 NFL Draft Individual Grades:

14. Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah: A Grade

I think Sharrif Floyd would have been a better pick because A) he's a superior pass-rusher and B) he doesn't have any sort of health concerns. But this is still a great pick for the Panthers because they needed tons of help on the interior of their defensive line. Star Lotulelei would have gone in the top 10 if smarter teams were drafting there, so Carolina is reaping the benefits, much like other smarter teams will in the second half of the draft.

Someone tell Walter that the Panthers have pass rushers.

What we needed was a run-stuffer. And we got the BPA in this draft to do just that. (And his bull pass-rushing ability is nothing to sneeze at.)

[Floppin]

people keep saying he was double and even triple teamed in college so he was limited as a pass rusher...that doesn't appear accurate. He appears to just be a work in progress as a pass rusher, sounds like a coaching not a talent issue. If he was occupying double teams on 3rd down Utah wouldn't of pulled him on 3rd down

They didn't pull him on 3rd downs. He was a 3 down tackle at Utah.

Carolina already averaged the most pressures per defensive snap last year. He doesn't make that pass rush better.

Wrong. Without a run-stuffer, your MLB has to constantly play up in the box.

Keeks is free to roam now. And that helps the safeties. And that helps the secondary.

It ain't always about the pass rush.

My analysis is as follows:

"Matt Ryan, prepare your anus".

He's not a mean man. He just needs a hug.

After that, he might also squeeze him and call him George.

(or maybe eat him)

We have a name for the O-line (the big uglies). How about a name for the D-line ( The Hog Mollies ?) We have Big MOney,

the Kraken. What do we call Star ?

[Chaos]

Sucks that I have to wait until December to watch Drew Brees get bent in half and broken.

[Mr. Scot]

As I understand it, "Hog Mollies" is Gettleman's term for big men on both sides of the line.

I did and Colin Cowherd is a moron

[MrBubba]

He will require two blockers to stop him, meaning that one of those two guys cant block one of our linebackers or put a double block on one of our edge rushers, allowing them to make more plays because they are only facing one-on-one blocks.

He is also powerful enough to get a push up the middle and cause the pocket to collapse pushing the QB to the outside into the arms of Johnson or Hardy. Or at the least enough of a push to stop the QB from being able to step up in the pocket and away from from the DE's coming on the edges.

of course he is, he disagrees with you.
