I'm pretty mixed on Taco. He has made a few more "highlight " plays this camp, but if you look at the plays he isn't the focus he is still getting beat a lot too.

I'm really excited about our future at RDE. Armstrong/Gregory are going to give us a great rotation. I'm a bigger fan of Crawford than most, but I think he will playing less and less DE and some more DT as those young guys acclimate through the season. I think this is his last year with us unless he less he takes a pay cut and is happy with a reduced role in the DT rotation.

Either Fredbeard has reduced a bit, or Woods might just be the stud we are looking for at that 1 tech. I hope the later is the case and if that's the case, Collins should move back to the 3 tech where he was looking like a future stud his rookie year.

Our day 1 starting Dline will probably be Tank, Woods, Collins, and Crawford, which will be pretty big and stout against the run if Woods can keep up his play and if Collins is healthy.

Lots of good stuff here.

Taco is a burrito away from being a 3 Tech. I say kick him inside. His college tape backs up all of my thoughts on him. He was and is a 3T/5T tweener.

1. How did Chaz Green only allow 1 sack in his college career?
2. Armstrong looks good
3. Tapper doesn't look good (I am a huge Tapper supporter)
4. Kadeem Edwards looks good and his name has been mentioned a few times
5. Connor looks small as always and might be a big liability especially against elite DTs
Mark Stepnoski was smaller and dominated bigger tackles.

antwuan woods giving freddy fits. Kadeem, looney and fleming looking like very solid backups. chaz green just seems unable to move his feet. Armstrong clearly has the "bend".

I told people when the Cowboys drafted Armstrong he could possibly be a steal in the 4th round.

Chaz Green is a joke! He keeps on getting burned so easily over and over. No balance, doesn't move his feet, can't get or stay in front of the pass rusher, etc. Total embarrassment. The 3rd and 4th string scrubs block better than him most times.


From that clip Chaz looked like he was boxing and stay about from his man rather than blocking. I have no clue why his still taking up roster space. Maybe because of the Jones's know that they messed up. They're trying to justify not taking a runningback on that draft which could have netted them a good runningback.

summer of Dorance Armstrong.
I really liked this pick but had 0 idea he would be THIS good...THIS early.
The six of us that follow Jayhawk football knew he was going to be good. Right combination of athletic ability and mental makeup. I thought it may take half a season for him to adjust to playing against NFL quality players, but his relentless attitude and practicing against the best oline in football has accelerated his growth.
