demarcus walker

would this guy fit? put on a pretty good show at his pro day. would he work as an OLB in our hybrid D opposite bud dupree? he ran a 4.76 40. not our typical OLB but in this hybrid D would be a stud. is he in the conversation of the out of the box thinking as our D evolves?

 

I think he ends up as a 4/3 DE

 

He could be the "elephant " in the room.....and if we can get him to shed a few lbs he could work in our system....2nd round or later though

 

I had some interest in him for us but wanted to see his weight as well. And I agree, he would be good value in the second or later but probably for another team. 6'4" 280 at the combine so it doesn't appear he is trying to lose weight to get into that 3-4 OLB category. I don't see the fit for us here, but others may.

 

i'm thinking as a DE or OLB whatever they want to call him when we use the two down lineman paired with bud rushing on the outside. they said at his pro day he showed a lot of quickness. we could run some of that 4 man front with him.

 

He would take Cam Heywards position who we
just over paid.

 

We made it to the AFC Championship game with out his services for most of the year.
He is mediocre at best, I like Cam very good leader no Superstar though.

 

he led us in sacks in 2015.

 

Sorry friends, he is no superstar, good locker room guy though,
usually dependable.

 

The Lone Ranger rides again LOL.

 

teamed with tuitt and now hargraves, they are really putting it together and should continue to. we could have the best front in the league with him back. cam is quite good and we will see a huge difference with him back.

 

3/4 DE aren't supposed to be superstars , one year Cam had 7.5 sacks that's good for a DE in the Steelers system.

 

Are you serious? Yoy and double yoy. LOL Everybody that plays in the NFL
should aspire to be a superstar. In recent years the Steelers have (finally)
let there DL go up field and attack, Which is required in a pass happy league.
Lets see him get to the 10 sack range, then we will start talking.

 

he had 7.5. 7. and 3 already last year when he got hurt. he's been tied for 7th and tied for 6th on the defense in tackles in 2015 and 2016. pretty impressive with us having 4 LB'ers and 2 safeties that are supposed to be making a lot of tackles. tuitt has gotten to cam ability too lately. we are quite blessed to have two DE's of their caliber. they are still getting better too. now we have a guy in the middle to help even more. he's quite good ward.

 

The DEs are never going to be superstars in the 3/4, Cam does his job leading the team in sacks for 2 years. The Steelers think enough of him to give Cam that big contract. Not every player in the NFL aspires to be a superstar either, a longsnapper or a fullback aren't trying to be superstars .

 

They most certainly are at their respective position. Or they won't be employed too long.
