He's in that 250 lb range that can get around the corner with speed and bend.

He was producing at a high level when he was cut by Giants.



Moore was initially projected to be a top ten draft pick at the end of the 2012 season. One of his strengths was his versatility while playing in Texas A&M. Where he played as 3-4 outside linebacker in his first two seasons and tallied a total of 14 sacks in that time span. In 2012 as the starting defensive end he exploded with 12.5 sacks.

Despite his previous accomplishments, his status as a top ten pick was damaged because of his poor performance at the NFL Combine, where he had only 12 reps in the bench press (lowest among defensive linemen) and a 4.95 time in the 40-yard dash. He was projected by many draft analysts to go in the late first or early second round; however, he slid down the draft board and was eventually chosen by the New York Giants in the third round, with the 81st overall pick.

With that being said of course you dont get dropped by 4 different organizations if your not a bonehead.

But on the flipside, he does have a knack for getting to the QB. He is home ( Fingers crossed that even makes a difference)

He has to realize that if you fail in Oakland and Dallas there isnt going to be another chance.

Doesnt really matter any way, If hes not able to take Marinelli's coaching he's not gonna make the rostor. Lets just hope he lasts and the light goes on. Because he is a situational pass rushing weapon that is needed

At least he's produced against teams within the division... At least from the highlight video.

The Cowboys reportedly liked his tape with the Seahawks who run a similar scheme.

Is it bad that I completely forgot he was on the team? We might have a good pass rush this year people
Thats the reason I created this post.

Completely forgot about him then I begun to think of the possibilities

How about the poor tackle thats getting his butt kicked by Taco all game. Then they have to watch as Demontre runs by said OT in the 4th

Immature.

As much as showing that he's got some ability, his immaturity comes screaming off of the tape too.

If he hasn't stopped being the same Bonehead he's been before, he may not even make it to training camp.

I hope he's grown up some because he does have some talent.

I think there was an off-field incident with him too and I'm wondering how that could affect his status with the league and chances of making this roster?

I can't wait to see what Marenilli can do with this kid. . Moore's play seems to be about unleashing him and eliminate 'over thinking'. Marinelli's attacking up-field defense sounds like his best chance to regain his College success. Some guys play to their potential when the scheme fits their characterics. Just ask 3rd ranked Sack leader from last year, Lorenzo Alexander. Lorenzo never had more than 2.5sacks in his ten year career, but exploded for 12.5 playing for Buffalo. So no, it's not out of the realm that Marenilli could tap into Moore's potential. Im not expecting anything, but it sure would be nice to find a lightening in a bottle.

Hopefully he can play to his talent level,but not expecting anything from him. At this point Tapper is more likely to be the best breakout guy for us.

I think we should just stick to these kind of signings. Guys who get cut playing at a high level and willing to sign dirt cheap.

That highlight film for the Giants isnt against college talent. Its NFL.

If he makes the team he will be a weapon

In this video a Sehawks Fan breaks down some tape. Shows him playing in 3 tech at 250 lbs very impressive.

The sehawks fan really seemed as if he was hoping he would stay with the team based on his versatility
