Chickillo & Watt

Just asking not poking but what is your feeling right now on Shazier? So many going into last year were saying the same thing about him as some are saying about Dupree. I love the fact that now we have 3-4 olb that can start.

 

Shazier is overrated... not as good as Farrior and Foote back in the day at ILB. Of course.. none of our defenders, at any position, were as good as the '05 and '08 squads. We are spoiled.

 

said it before i'll say it again. Dupree is a injury prone bust that doesn't produce what a first round pick should. Sure he's athletic , and had a decent string of games one time. Just don't see him developing any further, especially with the injuries every 2 weeks. Dupree is a faster Jarvis.

 

Shazier can ball and makes plays , he looks like a missile out there. No way shape or form is Shazier a bust

 

I didn't say he was a bust... just saying he's not as good as Farrior or productive as Foote.

 

I am very happy that Bud being injured did not hurt us. Chickillo has so far made a case for himself to stay in the LB room.

Never sleep on the ageless Harrison either. If Watt continues to make strides, we may not need to go OLB in the first next year.

We may not need to go CB either. Who knows what will be this team's glaring weakness end of the season.

 

Wow, I can't believe how quickly our players get labeled on here. To each his own I guess, but comparing Bud to Jarvis is mind boggling (and numbing at the same time). They aren't even built the same, and they definitely don't play the same. Jarvis was built to be decent, and he didn't reach that potential. Bud is a freak, and I'm not sure we as fans have seen the potential ceiling he has. If you want to compare him to someone coming into the NFL, I think Timmons would be a better comparison. Either way, Bud is no Jarvis!

 

You are telling me.



Comparing Bud Dupree to Jarvis Jones is the equivalent of comparing Stephon Tuitt to LT Walton. The difference is truly night and day.


Bud is a physical freak who has put it all together. Misfortune is currently why he was not seen last Sunday. Should he practice fully this week and play Sunday, expect those criticisms to fade away.

 

Man I'm kinda of surprised to see all the Dupree hate. I guess fans need a new whipping boy since Jarvis is now gone.

 

Dupree was limited today but here is something quite concerning for sure.





If that is the case then Anthony Chickillo will have more time to showcase his maximum potential.

 

ESPN reported Dupree wants to play this week.

 

If he would have been healthy all year last year he would have finished with around 12 sacks. Thats first round talent. The only question when it comes to Dupree is health. When he is on the field he is absolutely a playmaker.

 

If that shoulder is not medically cleared, to heck with his desire to play. Health is critical here. Acting recklessly is what cost Dupree a majority of his 2016 campaign. He cannot allow that to happen again.


Getting back to 100% should be his top priority.

 

My vote is for conditioning coach Kinda only half kidding.

 

Yep.



Bud Dupree is now in the same boat with Ryan Shazier among the general consenus of fans.


Quite disappointing if you ask me.

 

We sure do ... Well rounded bunch. Now if we could fix the secondary. Looks better so far but it's early. Joe did not have a great game against the browns but it might have more to do with how they are using him then skill set. Expecting big things from him.

 

I really want Dupree to be the man at OLB (I thought he was going to be the next Lawrence Taylor when Dupree was drafted). But I'm starting to feel like he's going to be another Lavar Arrington. A super athlete, but never became the dominate player people thought. Chickillo is starting to remind me more of Mike Vrabel type of OLB. Very smart and student of the game. But I'm still hoping Dupree does become the next LT.

 

He is better and more productive than Foote.

 

They aren't going outside linebacker in the first round next year. Watt, Dupree and Chickillo can be the players they are right now and the team wouldn't be taking an outside linebacker in the first round next year.

Somebody compared Dupree to Jarvis Jones, which is ridiculous. Dupree is already a much better player.

 

Shazier is a ton better than Foote. Shazier or Farrior? Wow. I'll have to sleep on that one. I loved Farrior and feel that he was a much more technically sound player with a high football IQ. Shazier has him in the freakishly athletic department though.

 

I think there is no doubt that Bud has the potential to be better than Chick, but right now? I don't see much of a difference. They both have an explosive first step, and neither has really developed any pass rush moves besides the bull rush. The biggest difference I can see is availability.

 

Seriously! Chickillo is the man. Depree should be his backup. Chick's motor is always at high revs, red line high! Bud is a dud!
