What are your thoughts on Taco?

[Praxit]

..just needs more sauce.

TJ Watt should have been the pick, but outside of him, there weren't that many good players near the bottom of the 1st that year.

 

[Redball Express]

Im still not seeing it in this kid. Takes time or not, he just doesn't have IT. Kid gets pushed around badly all game long. The few plays he makes is when he is unblocked.

Thoughts?

This guy was a lick and a promise.

Needs to be released.

I think he is coming along pretty well. Good rotational guy if nothing else.

For a first round pick to just be a rotational guy?

I wouldn't say Gregory was better than Lawrence.

Lawrence was largely a non-factor last Sunday, Gregory made a couple nice plays, one on a big third down in the first quarter, chasing down Watson from behind. Tied with most tackles, and solo tackles on the DL. The Dline played bad, regardless. Look, I'll admit I'm a bit let down right now, I wanted him to come out the gate like a monster, when that didn't happen, I would've hoped for a couple sacks by week 6 with several more splash plays, a great game etc... but I am hopeful, still.

No, Lawrence wasn't a factor, but he was double teamed every pass play. Gregory wasn't. When teams focus that much on stopping Gregory we have to have the other DE step up.

Dude was a bust from the second he was drafted.

Lawrence wasn't a factor and Lawrence being double teamed and Gregory having a better game (isn't saying much, but you used Tank) can all be true. With that said, I agree with the rest.

 

[Sydla]

Disappointed.

Not ready to throw in the towel just yet.

 

[Gaede]

Disappointed.

Agreed. He's got the attributes, but I've seen maybe three plays from him in a year and a half. It took DLaw a while to find his way, so I'm good with giving him more time.

3 year project

Rotational guy doesnt cut it for a first round pick

Leave our Hot Boy alone!!!

My thought is that when the house is burning down, I don't have time for regret about how ugly the patio furniture I purchased is.

 

[cowboyec]

the more snaps he gets the better he looks.
he's improved as a player from last season.
best part...he stays home at night.
he should be the least of our concerns...and one of the reasons to be excited about this young defense.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Yeah!!! Why didn’t they draft him? That kinda irritated me when he was there and they went with Taco instead.

You must be new here. That was covered in great detail.

That’s still dumb though. I trust a Watt like I do a Matthews name. You know those kind of people are going to produce.

You do know Watt has a bum knee that could end his career any game....right?

 

[StarBoyz83]

Wanted tj watt. Dont care if he was more of a 3-4 player. Hopefully taco gets a lot better. Its only his 2nd year.

 

[CowboyRoy]

+4

He has been suspended and concussed this year. Looks like a worse player than LVE or Jaylon.
He has 17 total tackles this season.

Name? who does he play for?

 

[CowboyRoy]

better.

Impressive.

"I knew he had six sacks, so I knew I had to get at least one. Otherwise, I couldn't go back to my phone after that," J.J. said. "Then, I missed the one, so I was really pissed off."

J.J.'s only sack came late in the fourth quarter and ensured that there would be a tie atop the family and NFL sack leaderboard for at least one more week.

T.J. also had a three-sack performance in Week 1 against the Browns, and J.J. had three sacks in Week 3 against the Giants.

 

[cowboyblue22]

he was overdrafted just average player
