Zim masked it a little bit by using the backfield to throw off QBs, but he was good at that. We're a few years late drafting a DL and it's not going to get any better any time this season.
Yeah, it's a bit more in depth than just drafting "boom or bust" players.
We just drafted bad football players. Clarke was never great at WV and he was never a good pass rusher especially. He's never going to be one. At best he profiled as a poor man's Michael Johnson.
Margus Hunt has never actually been good at football. He's a track star who looks good in pads. But he has next to clue what he's doing half the time. He's just not good at football.
Still had motivation issues from the get go. Zimmer called him out for it on Hard Knocks. He never put it together.
Thompson gets off the line in a hurry but then 75% of the time he's just unsure of where the ball is and the play goes right by him. At least people finally stopped calling him a nose tackle.
Moch was supposed to be David Pollack. But he wasn't good at the sport of football.
Marcus Hardison is the most promising DL we have drafted since Carlos Dunlap and Geno Atkins. That's 5 years. That is not good. Especially considering we have invested: two second rounders, three third rounders and a fourth rounder.
That's terrible given the returns.
