And jpoore, please provide a link to a reputable source that shows Hernandez has outperformed Nelson.  I believe most, if not all, will say Nelson has lived up to his draft status and will trump your opinion

As for Devin White there's been wow plays and head scratchers

Dosent know how short or how far to drop. Seems like the iq is there just unsure of himself in zone. It's a easy coaching mistake and I've noticed he's gotten progressively better at it as the season has gone on.

(10-28-2018, 12:28 PM)Goalpost Wrote: White's a great player.  But I'm really following Josh Allen as well.  White is 6' 240.  Allen is 6'4 250.  While Allen is more of an edge, he also drops in coverage.  

So far this year.  White has 76 tackles, 7 TFL, 1 sack.  Allen has 56 tackles, 14 1/2 TFL, 10 sacks.
