Is Gregory Rousseau a David Irving starter kit?

Still a Rousseau fan. His Pro Day didn't do him any favors, but he wins more with length than athleticism anyway. Watch his tape, he just sort of slides off guys both outside and inside because they can't put two hands on him and lock him up.

Look, we desperately need front 7/ d line help. This is something we should all agree on but I am sick of prime picks that have Taco/ Hill outcomes based on projection and SPARQ scores. Let's draft the guys with the best tape for a change.

People are down on him, I don't see why, he's a stud...in fact they're all talented on that Hurricane D-Line. Rosseau, J. Phillips and Q.Roche

Prefer Phillips who possess far better pass rush moves. Better floor and just as high ceiling IMO.

Rousseau at 2nd maybe and definitely in the 3rd. He just scares me. Looks like a unrefined Randy Gregory to me. Irving was more powerful and dropped due to character issues which was true.

I think Dallas needs to overhaul their defensive scouting department. For whatever reason, they seem to fail at a higher rate than when they pick offense. Something is off on that side of the ball.

He's about 6'7 270 and it's a skinny 270.

He's not agile and doesn't bend well but he's fast, has power, and a high motor.

He's built for edge but i'm wondering if he can be bulked up and be a good inside rusher for us.

Any thoughts?
He reminds me so much of Irving too from watching his film. I don’t care about the times on this guy cause when you watch him play he’s an impact player on the line.

Yup....I'm buying. We should have interest...but I don't think we do. Gonna be ticked when the Eagles trade down....and still scoop him.

My thought is that this is yet another laughable idea in a long line of bad ideas by you. Again, you are clearly TRYING to say something ridiculous. There is no way you actually think what your saying is remotely credible?

I think he just doesn't have a position but can play everywhere.

If he's good at rushing the passer then he is a steal after the 1st round.

"If he is good at rushing the passer"? Here is a DE that you are unsure can rush the passer and you have been advocating him for weeks posting multiple threads. I suppose you dont see how ridiculous that is?

And even now you mention that he is a "skinny 270 pounds" and are now advocating move the DE inside to DT?

You truly have no shame at all.

This is a think tank and an open discussion about a player and peoples opinions on the interesting skill set he has.

I don’t pretend to be an expert on this guy.

So get out of your feelings and stop being a donut. Go back to the Fan zone with all the normie whiners and let the men discuss football.

This would be great if you actually put some thought into it. Your reasoning makes zero sense.

Say something credible and you wont get hammered for it. That simple. This isnt the BAD IDEA ZONE. This is the DRAFT ZONE.

Yes and now with the same idea now trade down and pick up another 2nd rounder and get me a safety too.

1.Horn/ Newsome II
2.Rousseau
2.R Grant/Cisco/Holland
3.M Wilson

I would be very happy with that draft.

You’re the only one “hammering” but that makes sense since you’re such a tool
Box.

I can’t believe you still quote me all the time.. Your opinion means squat to me..

i'm in the minority but i'd love to steal him in the 2nd.
he has the length that screams Cowboys DE.

Ive watched video of him lining up inside and blowing by guards.. Like No chance.

You just don’t think of a defensive tackle as a 6’7 guy with a thin build. He needs to bulk up to 290..

Also, he may just be a pass rusher from the inside and run stopper on the outside.

And.. If that’s the case is he only going to be a useful player on obvious passing downs or could we rotate him all game?


I mean I’ve seen this guy line up at OLB, DE, and DT..

He just looks like a guy that belongs in the front 7 somewhere and can make an impact but it’s hard to see what that role is.

Who is the tool box that said the following?

-Dalton would perform better in our offense than Dak
-Dalton would lead us to the playoffs
-Beatherd and Kayaa will be better pros than Mahomes
-CB is NOT one of the 4 prime positions in football but safety is
-Rouss the DE is a skinny DE that im not sure can rush the passer, but lets draft him and move him to DT?

That would be you genius!!!

If Im a tool box than you are a box or rocks. This is a bozo thread in a long line of bozo threads started by you. At least you changed your tune from wanting to take him with the 10th pick to getting value in the 2nd.
