Gregory's 2015 performance

[perrykemp]

What are we to make of Gregory's 2015 performance?

He ended the year with 0 sacks in 12 games.

He he been able to gain any weight since his time at Nebraska?

Does he have the potential to be something more than a pass-rushing specialist?

Think of DLaw and count it as a redshirt year.

 

[The Natural]

hardly noticed him.

True.

My worry is Gregory doesn't seem to be able to gain weight. He looks like he is 230-235 lbs out there.

 

[Alexander]

Gave him a lot of leeway for the high ankle.

If he's been healthy the last few weeks and this is it, well, that is very disappointing.

 

[lwehlers]

I am just happy he was not a first round pick. hopefully he can get a little better and improve in the offseason and contribute next year. if we do not draft a qb first then defensive end or tackle needs to be highest position that we need to draft in my opinion.

I think this is the way you have to look at it. He was undersized, and the injury robbed him of his speed.

Lawrence gained a lot of weight in one offseason.

 

[Nightman]

All the more reason to sign Hardy and let Gregory be more of a specialist.

 

[TheCoolFan]

I don't know if he fits in the 4-3. Might be best-suited for 3-4 OLB

This is a product of the media making someone a god before they even take a snap. You'll fall right into the trap every time. He was hailed as the next Ware. This will back fire on front office, this guy along with Jones are busts.

He needs to get stronger. He seemed tentative after the ankle injury.

 

[erod]

Teams ran right at him and blew him off the line of scrimmage with ease.

He needs 30 pounds.

Gregory was always going to be a 3rd down rusher first few seasons.
He may develop later in his career(much easieer to gain weight and strength than add speed or agility) but he wasn't a 1st round pick because of his size.

It is a bummer he didn;t get to the passer more but it is what it is and his ankle likely killed his pass rush efforts.
High ankle aprains are often worse than breaks. It takes physical time and then mental time.
For most athletes it is a year to fully recover burst and confidence.

 

[reddyuta]

huge dissapointment,look at other pass rushers like Frank clark and Preston smith.I am dumnbfounded on how bad he has been.He needs major weight gain.

 

[Alexander]

All the more reason to sign Hardy and let Gregory be more of a specialist.

The real question is, specialist at what?

I really hope what he showed over the last six weeks or so is just rust and the ankle.

He has not looked good.

Need to remember he is coming off a high ankle sprain which really impacted him getting off the ball and cutting. Next year we should an improvement.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Just can't judge a guy based on his rookie year. Hopefully he makes that jump. I saw some good things from him. Didn't show up on the stat sheet. I'm intrigued to see what a healthy second year does for him. Hopefully the same it did for Lawrence.

Slow down. It is way to early to say these players will be busts.

 

[Nightman]

The real question is, specialist at what?

He isn't going anywhere for 3 years, so you beef him up and aim him at the QB.

Until he shows he can get it done he can't be relied on.
