Who Will Make The Biggest Impact In '15

If Kahlil does what I think he can do, he may not have the stats, but the attention he draws will allow Barnett to have 15 or 16 sacks, Maggitt to have 13 or 14 sacks and both to be all over the field.

 

Can a true freshmen DT be expected to do that though? Seems like a lot to ask.

 

Would be very unusual.

 

On rare occasions.

 

Reeves-Maybin and the linebackers would benefit as well.

Heck, every one really.

 

Yeah, a dominant DT makes everyone's job easier.

Kahlil is dominant up front, taking on and beating a double team nearly every play. You've got O'Brien, who's not too shabby, going against the guard, Barnett abusing a tackle and either Maggitt or Vereen one on one with the other tackle. The LBs are free to roam and make plays, you can pressure with your front four and leave the DBs in coverage. For depth at DT you have Tuttle, Williams and Picou.

It really is a thing of beauty.

 

I am guilty of that to a degree. The 2013 line was full of talented underachievers with a loser mentality. The 2014 line just sucks. The difference in them seems to be one win.

 

Sounds like Haynesworth with the Titans.

 

Well, if you don't consider the areas we got better that compensates for a worse OL, then yeah.

 

bajakian. hands down.

 

Worth mentioning that Khalil hasn't played football in over a year.

 

1 less game than hurd's sr. year of high school.

 

better

 

much

 

Kamara's junior college highlights are impressive. I wonder...

 

I do not mean this sarcastically or in a belittling way: how hard is it to play defensive tackle? Seems like if you are strong, aggressive, and learn a few moves you are going to be disruptive. Am I oversimplifying (probably)?

 

Game speed

It will come

 

you're oversimplifying. That guy is making reads and explosiveness is the differentiator between space eater and mauler.

 

The 1-2 punch of Hurd and Kamara should really be a force to be reckoned with. It's been a long time since we've had a guy like Kamara. Watch his highlights y'all.

 

Conditioning is always a worry with these big guys that need to carry nearly 300 pounds. This guy seems like a freak and evidently is motivated, but hard to put yourself through the same type of punishment a coach would demand.
