Hey,FUZZY! from 1 to 100 percent rating ,where do you think #99 Charles Tapper is standing at TODAY?

* cuz', yer' word does pack its insightful share of clout*


:starspin::star::starspin:

He's always hurt so it is hard to say. When he has had a chance to play the quickness is apparent but i get the impression that the lack of continuity in his training and practice has stunted his technique development. He starts over as opposed to building.

To put a number on that? Not good. 30-40 and all that is pure athletic talent.

If he is new and improved we might as well change his name to Burrito.

Talk is cheap. Get out there and make DLaw look average son.

Taco says something and you post that. Taco has actually done something in an actual NFL game....

Meanwhile...

Unleash the beast!

All aboard... The RICO HYPE TRAIN!

I'm taking any and all willing passengers. Let's go!

Rico, who hasn't done jack that matters to even warrant a roster spot, opens his mouth and...

Kind of makes me laugh really.

That's a real solid good stab at it,bro!,,,as I'd all but cut his mooring lines to the dock loose already slotting his odds of elbowing himself a place at the table in the low to mid twenties range of rating his status.

I mean wasn't the knock on him that he was a bit raw and would need a year or so to grasp how to perform in the NFL? And that if he conquered the mental/determination part of the NFL he could be a legit DE?

Hopefully his statements are backed up with action starting in September. I've gone from disliking the pick to really hoping he contributes consistently asap.

actually the knock on him was his motor thus nickname "soft taco". I saw him in camp last year and his length was ridiculous. I basically felt as long as he made steady improvement (consistent motor) and took to coaching he was be very solid DE within 3 years.

It's hard for these kids coming out of college playing against 18 - 22 year olds to automatically jump up and play against 23-33 year old men.
Give the kid a chance to become a man himself and then evaluate him.

Well I was struggling with whether to judge by percentile of NFL prospects or with the 70 pas fail delineation. i went with the latter.

As prospects go yeah I agree he is way down there.

Not trolling etc. just a quick vibe I get. That’s all

You tried the Carolina Reapers yet

That guy has a storefront a few miles from my house. He's got another pepper that's twice as hot that'll be released if anybody breaks the Carolina Reaper's record.

At that point, you may as well just save some time and sit on a red hot poker.

Expect much from Taco Charlton in 2018, but know he's already beat you to the punch.

"You’re a first-round pick for the Dallas Cowboys, so expectations are going to be high," said the second-year pass rusher following the conclusion of OTAs, via Drew Davison of Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "But it was more so I just had expectations for myself, and it started off slower than what I wanted. At the end, I started seeing the strides and seeing all the practice hours and how hard I was working starting to pay off.

"Going into Year 2, I’m stronger. I can hold my weight more. I’m faster. I’m more knowledgeable about the game, studying more moves and working a lot more moves.

hey Taco..thats great news bud..but SHOULDN'T YOU be all those things anyway? Now...keep working your tail off young man, and stay out of social media.Nose to the grindstone. Its not real hard to be better based off of what you did last year. Sarcasm aside, I think the kid will be fine..he's going to be one of those 2nd year surprises this year.
