Twitter: Daron (is not) Bland

[Texas_Pete]

This dude can play.

It was nice knowing you JLew

 

[zrinkill]

Ohhhhh because of his name

 

[ScipioCowboy]

But does he think mayonnaise is spicy?

 

[Risen Star]

He mentions Ridgeway.

Why isn't he here anymore? Oh yeah, Trysten Hill.

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

If anything, Daron is salty.

 

[cowboyec]

he's been a revelation to me.
i don't remember the last time i watched a fresno st game so i knew 0 about this kid when we drafted him.
helluva talent.
love both his physicality and his instincts.
fun to watch this kid.
he's been a good'n.

He's been a bit of a revelation. Still early days. But the flashes he has shown is encouraging.

Needs to build on that moving forward.

Bland makes picking Joseph in the 2nd a really poor choice.

Not if Joseph becomes a good starter on the outside. We have to wait and see.

Joseph is a poor choice, but they play different positions.

Joseph is an outside guy while Bland is more of a slot guy

This pick for me is the epitome of the Will McClay draft years. Select a kid in the mid rounds that I’ve never heard of (I’m a huge draft nerd and typically know 80-85% of the prospects) with other guys I liked on the board and he turns into an stud.

Scouting department deserves a raise for that one.

How many more years?

Right.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

The way he’s breaking on throws tells you he’s playing confident and with anticipation. There are corners that have been playing 5-6 years in the league that will basically wait until the ball is caught and just tackle the reciever.

 

[BourbonBalz]

How many more years?

Well he was hurt for a good portion of his rookie season and is only in his second year. Let’s let it bake a little longer, shall we?

Other low-hanging fruit thread title suggestions:

“CeeDee is no Lamb”

“I Will Not Tell a Lie, James Washington is Playing Great”

“Micah is Putting QBs on Missing Parsons Alert”

“Michael Keeps Galluping to the Endzone”

And to think, Marquese Bell has hardly seen much in terms of playing time. From what I've seen in preseason, Bell was an enforcer. But he only has 1 tackle right now. I believe Bell will provide an impact down the line, I just get that sense from his play.

Early picks should have near immediate impact.
Joseph is a low football IQ player. They took a chance on his athleticism. It's not working. I do think he's in the best place; if DQ can't get him to smarten up and play like a starter, no one can. But being patient and waiting until year 3 isn't sound. But hey, Special Teams!

 

[Creeper]

How many more years?

Until the they him.
