Highest-graded rookie DT from week 10

[stilltheguru]

Did they win? No.
Do they invest in pure 1Ts who can't rush the passer? No.

As usual, you don't know what you're talking about.

Dj readers career high is 2.5 sacks

Doesn't matter. He constantly pushes the pocket or penetrates and creates movement all over the place. He's not a 1T plug.

And mazi won't be that either so I don't get your whining

Cool did I say he will be? No. I literally said in this thread that I think they drafted him to be more than that.

I'm not whining. People are just wrong about a) the Cowboys' problems against the run and b) what works to fix it.

Average Peeps don't know what a 1T is so don't waste your time trying to explain it.

Plug the hole

I think Smith can be as good as he wants to be. The tools are all there. Technique and use of his power is where he needs to improve. He can really be a player. It’s on him.

 

[Rockport]

Good for him........

How many here said he was a bust?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

How much of this was because who he faced?

 

[Rockport]

No it hasn't

Pritchett wasn't really a Cowboys pick. They picked him for Detroit and got a 2, 3, 4.

Another trade from Jimmy that we got the loooong end of the stick with.

 

[Hardline]

All I wanted to see from his rookie season is be an immovable trash can full of dirt.
Not every 1st round draft pick is going to be a superstar. And yet there is a good chance he turns into a superstar.

He's hardly played 1T up to this point.

 

[DuncanIso]

Well done, Mazi!! Keep developing!!

Hopefully he gets to play against the Giants every game. 8)

 

[Typhus]

We live in an inpatient society in the NFL and DLs take time to develop.
Everyone wants an immediate impact but that just simply is not the case with DL especially when discussing interior DL and most definitely 1T techs!!!!

 

[Typhus]

Average Peeps think investing heavy resources into 1T is smart.

If you live in the NFC East you better, try and at least keep up.

Good for him........

I think PFF is a joke but I guess the question is has he steadily improved this season or was this game a one off?

 

[plasticman]

Don't know how much stock to put in PFF scores but I think one thing is clear. Mazi is improving which was the common sense expectation.

You could say that, when the playoffs start, Mazi has 1 years experience.

 

[McKDaddy]

I'm all for giving the guy credit where any credit is due .... but it was the Giants O line .... in a blowout ..... let's see good work against a better test before we start making declarations.

 

[sandbridge77]

Might have something to do with the best rookie being on a bye week.

Uh, there's 1 team in the NFC East who can run the ball, and they're better through the air.
