Thanks Brad, that is the thing, getting Howard pushes Zampese to use those sets more often. Very frustrating last
year watching him get too cute by not using the TE's more. Fisher was all over the place. It would of helped the O
as a whole much more by using TE's where they should be used. Let alone Fisher himself who is an O-lineman.

The Giants shown that drafting DE's is one of the ways to win a SB in this passing league and our guys besides
Dunlap have been bad lately. We need a gamechanger opposite Dunlap to solidify the DL, MJ is not it, Clarke could
be but we don't know that yet. We need some new Ends for Burney to work with, it was only his first year afterall,
he could get better and seemed like he did later last season with his guys.

Jordan Willis is athletic and can rush the passer and stop the run better than about any DE in this draft. He should
only fall cause he was at Kansas State. He is already a bit polished and can be a 3 down End unlike Barnett right
off the bat.

Thanks again.

I think his main reason for falling (potentially) is because the athleticism he demonstrated at the Combine doesn't show up on tape. I'm hopeful that the time he trained from the end of the season through the Combine actually means he will show more bend the NFL, but I understand those hesitant on him based on his tape. Whether he has bend or not, he still had 20.0 sacks and 31.5 TFL the past two seasons against the Big 12, which is known for its high powered offenses and weaker defenses. Derek Barnett had only 3.0 more sacks and the same TFLs as Willis in the past two seasons. I think they are similar players on the field, but Willis showed to be a (much) better athlete at the Combine.
