Media reaction to Star Lotulelei

For some reason guys from Utah always seem to translate well into the pros especially recently. I really wouldn't mind seeing a double up on DT either. Obviously if Cyprien falls you take him. Honestly if Lacey falls you take him, Lace will put us in a position to drop a bad contract and maintain arguably the same talent at the position in the future. However, if none of these top guys are there by the time we roll around and you have a chance to snag another solid DT, then do it. The effective personnel packages we could run along the DL would be endless, and would give us a chance to stop the run in late game situations when teams are trying to protect a small lead. The quicker our D gets off the field the better our offense becomes.

Also, Austin could have been asked who he likes in the NFL at WR for all we know. I never heard them ask him if he compared himself to him.

Even if he did, it's probably a combination of Harvin being a recent memory and wanting to compare yourself to a former OROY.

[GreatPoupon]

well the title of the article says "tavon austin compares himself to percy harvin" for one thing... but we all know that tavon austin is an idiot who doesnt know his own skillset.

[GreatPoupon]

Well first of all, Austin is faster, more agile, has better hands, is more durable, hasn't had any character concerns, and is more experienced at multiple positions at this point in his career than Harvin was.

ahh yes, VASTLY different.

bucky brooks is an idiot too???? http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-pro-comparison/0ap2000000154761/Tavon-Austin-pro-comparison

You're a FAIL at being a troll, you know...

The title doesn't matter if he doesn't say it in the video. They put up a graphic that said "NFL Comparison".

Tavon did have a low Wonderlic, fwiw. I still wouldn't consider him Colin Cowherd, or GreatPoupon dumb, though... Thankfully, the Wonderlic and intelligence don't matter that much for a WR in the NFL. But, if you're gonna be an analyst or a fan discussing such things, it MIGHT become a factor as to whether people think you know wtf you're talking about.

[Bronn]

Lots of people compare Austin to Harvin. Big deal.

Lots or people probably compared Ted Ginn to Steve Smith too. Boy did they know what they were talking about!

[GreatPoupon]

idiots!

[Bronn]

Also, by the weight you obviously give NFL comparisons, don't you think Stedman Bailey would be a little higher on most lists?

I mean, he IS compared to Steve Smith AND Golden Tate... two players in one!

herpa derp comparison derp

[GreatPoupon]

[GreatPoupon]

That moment in the first game when our secondary gets burnt, then again, then again. Why run when you can throw for days?

We mostly ran zone last year with our secondary, if you have a secondary that understands zone responsibilities you can compensate for lack of elite talent especially with a dominant d line. That secondary never got burned by new orleans or atlanta last year. Nakamura did.
