We're more than fine with Diles and Adibi. I believe it was Diles who had the FF against Taylor Sunday. We have more pressing needs to fill with the second round pick.
I like to own up to my mistakes when I'm proven wrong. I really thought Cush was going to be a roided up Guido, all about the Hollywood. I was dead wrong, dude. Now, on every defensive down I'm looking for #56. It's like the old days of watching Randy White, he is just there in the middle of the play, on every down.
let's give Demeco a chance for a comeback year and have Cush repeat it before making claims like that. Remember, Demeco's rookie year was amazing, too
Cushing had a better year, but Ryans is a very solid LB himself. He was selected to the Pro Bowl as well.
Ryans allows Cushing the freedom to make the plays he does with his awesome tackling. They make each other better which is what's supposed to happen to good teams.
Cushing hits running backs so hard he alters their freaking DNA... Glad he is on our side. The start of a string of many! (cue the promentory music)
Demeco was still #11 in combined tackles, an improvement from last year's totals. He's not really playmaking, just a surefire tackler and an outstanding leader. Congratulations Cushing, it's nice to see some manbeast aggression on the field.
The thing that blows my mind is in addition to all the tackles, and managing to mix in 5 sacks, he somehow managed to tie for the team lead with the 4 interceptions.
I'd say Cushing was the best pick made out of the entire draft last year as far as value and production. Dude is a freaking beast. I love it!
