Bud Dupree

Cockrell is severely underrated around here...

 

You forgot Davis.... I am so pleased with his game right now,

I think he is more criminally underrated than anything else.

 

I was not a big fan of Dupree coming out of college. I liked Ray and Collins on draft day but I was ok with the Dupree pick because of his raw abilities and size/speed. I was hoping he'd be a solid player once he was coached up.

Giving the young guys experience seems to being paying off now.

 

I disagree , I like Ross, he wins with intelligence. He isn't fast with a 4.56 40 and his 3 cone isn't very impressive either and as his career goes on he's only going to get slower. He doesn't have good hands either missing on several int opportunities but I still like him. He's scrappy, a fighter and winning on the corner as his pass defense stats shown.

Cockrell has Jerry Rice hands compared to Ike though.

 

I think Ramon Foster deserves that title But Cockrell is in a close 2nd place.

Cockrell is really good on tape. I don't know how someone can judge DBs without subscribing to NFL Game Pass and re-watching the game 2 days later when the ALL-22/Coach's Film is available.

 

Bud is doing so well they have to double team him. The ultimate in compliments

 

We can beat Brady if Ben has a very good game. If Ben plays like he did against Miami, it won't be good enough. Ben's numbers against Miami weren't bad, but remember, Brown did all the work on those TD's. They were actually short passes. Ben really didnt' have to do much and unfortunately he still threw 2 picks. That will kill us against either KC or NE

 

Our Defense is on a roll and is showing no signs of slowing down. A lot of our success on defense is due to our young players maturing and stepping up. (Dupree, Tuitt, Davis, Burns, Hargrave, Walton, Shazier). I think we're seeing the start of the next GREAT Steelers defense in the next year or two, because we're finally not old anymore. Young, energetic players trying to prove why they should be on the field playing. I love it.

 

Good thing I have said service haha.

 

And why you are able to appreciate Cockrell

 

I think those two.picks were because Ben felt he hadn't done enough even though he was 10 for 10 with some nice yardage 2 TD's and a nice lead. It was very Bradyesque and then he got stupid.

 

Did it appear late in the fourth like Bud was hesitant to hit Moore?

 

Well in hindsight I betcha Moore was glad all he did was hit him in the head

 

Indeed. Had Dupree aimed higher and running faster with intent, it could have been much worse.

 

Yes true....but I think you missed my joke. It's ok your not the first

 

He is a younger deebo.

 

If Dupree ends up developing anything close to the shear power of Deebo... he'd have the ability to be an all time great. I don't think Dupree is a younger Deebo, that's not a good player to skill set comparison

 

I agree. Dupree's body type and athletic abilities do not match up with Harrison for me.


I would say he could be as good and hopefully better than Brian Orakpo of the Titans though.

 

If you look at the hit. Dupree put his face mask in his chest. aka Heads up football. Moore was ducking and hit the helmet with his chin. Dupree should not be fined BUT, he is a Pittsburgh Steeler so he better grab his checkbook

 

Bud can always ask James Harrison about changing the way he plays!
