ooops... Well I didn't think it was the official site, but I kinda assumed folks would know I was talking about you guys messageboard.

Thanks again, guy. I really appreciate it and the autographed postcard.

Thanks Hater. You and I are on the same page.

Some ppl just want to talk smak and not real football. I think Hatcher's technique also suffers from him being tired. I read an article that he played almost every defensive snap. I think him standing staight up may be a result of fatigue.

The uniforms in that video were classic. I'd rather see those than the newfangled garbage like the Vikings are going to start wearing.

I really liked the maroon one.

Jason Hatcher may not have played against what some consider quality competition, but sometimes that really doesn't matter. If you've got skills, you'll get there eventually.

I am aware of who he was referring to, it just bears no relevance to what I was trying to say: that it is harder to grade players who play against poor competition than it is to grade players who play against the cream of the college crop.

I am gonna trust Bill and Ireland on this pick. They didn't pick someone from a lower eschelon school without doing their homework. Plus, I doubt they just watched the video we saw to formulate their opinion. They had guys watching whole games, talking to coaches. We just see a glimpse.

That is Matt Duhe' (Doo-E). He signed a FA deal with the Bengals. Former TE convert to DE like Hatcher, from Baton Rouge. 6-4 255.

Thanks for the effort WG.


You don't notice opponents double teaming Hatcher. The thing that comes across most about him is his speed.

Big props to you, WG! Always appreciate a new pick's video. When we drafted Hatcher, I was a little skeptical. After hearing that several teams, including SF & NO were waiting in the bushes a few picks afterwards to grab him, I became curious and a little more confident. After watching these videos, I can say one thing-this guy can play!

He looks like a man among boys. There were a couple of strengths that many DEs don't get down until 3-4 yrs. down the road. Some never do. The one I really liked was that he protects the outside, & doesn't get caught inside too often. Only when he is sure does he take it inside and make the play. He rarely allows himself to be engulfed by blockers, shedding them easily. He uses his rare speed to string plays out, and runs down RBs from behind.
His pass rushing skills are very natural, and he flattens out quickly once he turns the corner. Hatcher eats up space between himself & the QB quickly. One thing he does that I love and that is he rarely plays out of control. Even as he's closing in on a QB, he seems to always have his body under control, so that even mobile QBs don't seem to be able to juke him out.

I am convinced Hatcher will be deeply & permanently entrenched in the defensive line rotation by midseason, if not sooner. The kid has a great attitude, and motor that never quits. I hope to see great things from our third round pick from Grambling.

Hatcher turned out pretty good this year.
