Anyone watch Joey Bosa play?

[InDakWeTrust]

Bosa has a lot of his production come against OGs out of the 3T. I'm afraid he's nothing but a high motor, heavy handed SDE who will be more productive vs the run than the pass. I'm down to liking Ramsey, Elliott or a trade down.

I have watched his tape plenty. I of course am just a fan of the game. No expert lol. And I am not an OSU fan.

Bosa at only 20 yrs old and 6'5 275 lbs. if you look at him he almost looks thin through the middle. He looks to be able to hold more healthy weight.

He plays with an all out motor and brings the wood when he arrives. His technique is outstanding. His hand usage is NFL caliber already. He's quick to engage with long arms and redirect the blocker in the run game.
Doesn't have the bend of Ware or Miller but gets by OT's with relentless pursuit and a good bull rush. His ability to swat the hands from would be blockers is excellent. Moved inside he has plenty of power and is way to quick for most interior lineman he faced. Excellent swim move.
He was game planned for plenty. I guess after his sophomore year people just expect him to make every play.

IMO he will only get bigger and stronger and continue to improve his technique. If this was last year we'd all be slobbering over the chance to draft him. I for one will be happy if he's our pick.

All i know is we better come out the draft with Ramsey or Sean Davis. ill take Bosa if we get davis. Im done hating on bosa. If we get him ill hope im wrong

Who is this Sean Davis that you speak of?

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

I do think Bosa will be someone you can plug in and get good production out of for a number of years. However, I see him soley as a strong side de, where hell play the run well, generate decent pressure, but I dont think hell be a double digit sack guy unless he has an outstanding rde on the other side. Can you justify that kind of production with the number 4 overall pick? Maybe, I couldnt argue with the selection but if youre picking that high you would hope to find someone with the potential to be one of the best.

Who is this Sean Davis that you speak of?

Maryland cb/safety. Top 3 sparq rating, physical, smart guy.

 

[reddyuta]

The only guys opinion which truly matters is Marinelli.he has worked him out 3 times already.if he thinks he is worth it then he will be a cowboy.on the other hand we have worked out Zeke 3 times too....

 

[hendog]

Who is this Sean Davis that you speak of?

He's a safety from Maryland. He was an outstanding safety last year. They moved him to corner this year out of necessity and while not the playmaker still held his own pretty good. He has great ball skills as a safety and is a ferocious hitter. Has outstanding measurables. Would love to grab him in the 3rd.

He reminds me a bit of Willie McGinest and Justin Smith. He doesn't jump off the charts with athleticism, but I think his athleticism is a bit underappreciated because he's a big guy. I'm no scout, but that's what he looked like to me. He doesn't quite have the size of McGinest, but I don't think he quite has Smith's motor. The comparisons to Watt are ridiculous. He's just not that type of player.

I could see him being a fine NFL player, but I could also see that entailing him being solid for the first few years and being labeled as a bust just because of the hype coming in. But if a team sticks with him, I could see him turning into a really good player.

I love all the criticism that Bosa won't be a 15-20 sack guy...lol.

In 11 seasons, Ware hit 15 only 3 times with an average of 12. (As an OLB)
Oh no, Bosa might be only a 10-12 sack guy who is great against the run. I'm fine if we go in a different direction, but Bosa has been elite since his freshman year at Ohio State, and he's only 20 years old! The best is yet to come.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

how did he do against Conklin?

He is nowhere near the pass rusher Demarcus Ware is, that is what they mean. They aren't saying 10-12 either, they are saying 8-10.

 

[InDakWeTrust]

how did he do against Conklin?

He didn't line up against Conklin too often. He did have several pressures from LE but also had 3 encroachment penalties. Had several good pent ration plays but I saw him turn his motor down on plays. He actually reminds me a lot of Grant Wistrom too..

 

[Bullflop]

Ware was a player for us that may never again be matched for sack production. I could easily live with 8-10 sacks per year if that's Bosa's calling card. In addition to a relentless motor, his run plugging is exceptional and would surely be a serious improvement over what we've become used to. Bosa may never be the 2nd coming of Ware but he'd be a big step forward for our DL.

So you got Bosa who can play SDE with good production and also capable of producing as 3 tech DT to exploit match ups......that's a bad thing?!

[Hardline]

We all hear about Bosa and what he brings as an individual player.
But what does Bosa bring as an improvement for the DE as a whole?
Would a Bosa on the DE make Lawrence or Gregory a 15 sack a year guy?

If Bosa could manage 8-10 sacks a year on the left side, I'd be happy with that and leave it up to Lawrence and Gregory to take care of their own sack production on the right. Not only that but as it is, he's more than likely better than either of them for run stoppage. My main concern for Bosa is if he can control his affinity for smoking pot or not. Since he seemed to control it last year, hopefully he'd be able to do the same in Dallas.

 

[DandyDon52]

He was a beast in he Nat'l Cham Game against Oregon last year. In the backfield all day.

The thing is it is hard to judge, as in nfl he will be up against bigger stronger faster players who are all
The best, better than most college players he faced.
It is the same for all players, and why they rarely come to nfl and do as good or better.

 

[Chuck 54]

He is nowhere near the pass rusher Demarcus Ware is, that is what they mean. They aren't saying 10-12 either, they are saying 8-10.

Ware only hit 12 sacks four times in his entire career, and he hasn't had 12 sacks since 2011. I'm not comparing any rookie to Ware...ever, but the Bosa criticism that he won't be a 15+ sack guy is stupid since most HOF guys aren't either. I've seen plenty of articles that used the 10-12 range, not that it matters since the whole prediction is foolish. No one expected Ware to have the season he had. That's why he was drafted #11 and calmer heads had to talk Parcells out of taking Spears ahead of him. No one knows what a player, especially a 20 year old, will make of himself.

 

[fishspill]

Draftbreakdown will show you all his snaps, good and bad. Watching his 2015 he didn't always hustle and wasn't always engaged, but I think that was because teams avoided him like the plague and he became complacent.

Remember after the draft last year when our love of Gregory's game shot up after some random internet guy told you why his stats were not gaudy? Those same read-and-react, team-play elements are all over Bosa's 2015 tape. Hopefully Bosa isn't near the knucklehead Gregory is and will help to solidify one of the most pathetic fronts in the NFL.
