Charles Tapper

[MichaelWinicki]

Saw that during pre-season when Nate threw it out. If there is raw material Rod M/ Leon L should be able to work with ...this is it then.

Even if it doesnt work out at DE...........that 1st step, with his interior line exp. at OU---3 tech snaps?

Possible on pass rush downs.

 

[Teague31]

He runs fast. That's it

@FuzzyLumpkins has kept an eye on him in the preseason and Tapper shows intriguing potential.

Well why didn't you say this before and save the other zoners the trouble of making this thread ?

Rumor has it that Fuzzy only has 2 eyes and if one of them is on Tapper...... then he's a lock



For what, I don't know, but he's definitely a lock

 

[theebs]

He is most likely going to be inactive on gameday. Maybe not week 1 and 2 but when Moore gets back I imagine he is inactive.

 

[Ranching]

Alot of people here seem to think he is on very thin ice as far as his roster spot goes.

I'd like to hear Zoners thoughts in this

He has all the measurables, now he just needs to drop 'em and play football.

Neal also outplayed Tapper. So did Lenny Jones.

Neal played almost exclusively inside though, as a 3T. Tapper is a DE, now if Neal was making those plays on the edge, I think you'd have an argument, but we're talking different positions.

Certainly some zoners.

Between that and a good first step are pretty good attributes for a 4-3 DE.

I'm not ready to cut him yet, but at some point you gotta show me something. I'd try and work him in a little this year, but if it's more of the same from preseason I think he's gone next year.

 

[Teague31]

Doesn't he have sickle cell? If so he won't travel week 2 which makes us even thinner at end

 

[CF74]

Me thinks we can actually stash him on the ps.

Lets hope? He seems to need some more time to progress.

I knew sickle bell could be bad, but had no idea how much altitude could affect it.

Ryan Clark was held out of a Steeler playoff games a few years back. He had some big extenuating circumstances (gall bladder and splenty previously removed after a previous game in Denver due to the condition), but gotta respect Tomlin for his integrity here:

Tomlin:
"If he is in any more danger than any of the other 21 men on the field, then we err on the side of caution," Tomlin said at a news conference.

"It is a big game for us, but it is a game," he said.

Clark:
"I talked to my doctors and we actually had a plan in place for me to play. All things pointed to me going until (Tomlin) told me I can't. He said he wouldn't have let his son play and so I'm not playing either," Clark told ESPN.

I doubt anybody would poach Cowboys pass rusher rejects

 

[visionary]

Certainly some zoners.

Touché

Me thinks you're wrong.

No way would he make it through waivers.

I'll take that bet, I wager a box of chocolates...

Big box or small?

 

[CF74]

Big box or small?

The bigger the better to console me when we cut future HOF'er K-Power Moore....
