Anyone else disgusted by us drafting pass rushers that run 4.9s?

We've never had a slow pass rusher that turned out to be great. I can see if its a 300 pound dt, but 256 pound edge rushers should run faster than that.
Charles Haley ran a 4.8. Sorry, u are incorrect.

Joe Jackson ran a 4.77, that's pretty good at 275lbs

Look @ it this way...I think he was drafted to take Crawford's spot. And if he beats out TC...you just saved yourself 5.9 million.

Not the worst investment. Who do you think wins a foot race between TC and Jackson? My money is on JJ.:popcorn:

And hopefully he plays the run better...TC was flat out awful in the Rams playoff loss.

Yes. It’s a poor choice as a general rule.

King-- i never cared for Taco...and he barely got under 4.9 into the 4.8's....i hope we get Gregory back..he was low 4.6

I could care less what they do in gym shorts.
Jackson and Jelks seem to find the QB and make plays in the run game.
Taco's problem isn't speed or talent.....it's want to....apparently....he doesn't.
with 2 DEs drafted...and Armstrong last year...he might get his wish when we trim the herd to 53.
cowboyec--i agree Taco seems not to have that killer instinct....i am worried about our whole team to be honest
