[2023 NFL Draft/1-3] Will Anderson Jr., EDGE, Alabama

I would tend to agree with this, loved those 2 guys but I trust DR knows something we dont, but on the surface I wish we had kept them

 

Indeed, I hope the Dominican Republic can come through for us as well.

 

You sick puppy. Woof woof woof woof woof!

 

damn...feel for Aidan. Kid was on fire.

There's a parallel universe (albeit no CJ) where Will Anderson jr and Jalen Carter are just terrorizing offenses. Scary.

 

Haven't paid attention, but has Carter been any good this year or is he still the backup?

 

Mid. That entire eagles d line has been mid. He shows crazy flashes but then sort of just fades.

 

Ah. I haven't paid much attention to him outside of his rookie year. I did read he recently got suspended by the team for being late to practice though. He pulled the ole Ryan mallet (RIP) slept thru his alarm.

 

I haven't payed close attention, but I'm pretty sure we're not playing the ****ing Eagles this week

 

Can he play OG on the offense too please?

 

Keep Will Anderson far away from the OL coaches, they’d turn him into a journeyman. Those coaches and their diva leader Tunsil, are toxic waste; Tunsil with his smug attitude says it all - karma has hit that unit bad since his BS excuses after his false starts in that one game.

Tunsil is a special talent, but his diva attitude does not bode well for building chemistry in the unit. He needs to go, or humble up really fast…. Lack of Chemistry is really bad for the OL.

 

It already spread to his buddy tytus years ago. The fake injury, non practicing, non-reporting to otas duo got paid and don't know how to deliver.

 

So Tunsil is the problem? LMAO

I would say Green is a bigger problem and Scruggs needs to learn more quickly when it comes to making line calls. Yeah, it's all Tunsil's fault.

 

Another falsehood, played on a knee in the playoffs that needed to have surgery after the season. Many players would've looked out for their careers instead of playing on that knee. Offseason surgery is why both Tunsil and Howard didn't practice/play in the preseason. Right now Tunsil is playing at a high level (Top 10) on a bad ankle so he's understandably only practicing once a week. There are reasons to not like Tunsil (Avg run blocker) but the reasons y'all have listed aren't the reasons. Tunsil will and has played hurt.

 

Well I must say I was sorely disappointed in how he handled the false starts in that one game where he had a lot, especially his post game comments. Maybe that soured me on him.

I know he’s extremely talented, it’s easy to see that he is as talented as any LT in the league. He can be amongst the best LT without even trying. And that is the narrative I continuously read about him, he rests on his laurels a lot.

But the one thing I’ve always heard regarding any OL unit, it is that chemistry is vital for them; because if those guys are out of sync, the pocket collapse.

Elite LT are normally only found at the top of the draft. So if they move from Tunsil, unless they think Fisher can morph into one, it may take some growing pains to replace a talent like Tunsil.


My comment is very reactionary after the disastrous OL performance against Green Bay. But if Tunsil doesn’t help the Chemistry of the unit and only cares about his Pass Blocking and no shows in running plays, it’s got to make the Texans ponder if perhaps the best LT in franchise history is the right fit.

Plus it’s looking like the OL coaches are in way over their heads calling for the protection schemes.

The whole unit looks bad and has for the better part of the last 6 games. They looked great in game 1 of the season. But afterwards it puzzles with them….

 

Doesn't feel reactionary to me.

It has been all season now where the team can't pass block.

They can't run block either but Joe Mixon is that good.
