I don't think we can take Decastro now

[Tobal]

OK we have to be watching different players, I was watching 52 playing RG for Stanford.

The guy looked good, but from that game lastnight I don't take him at 14... He didn't standout to me.

I'm not even sure where to start then.

I guess he did not catch a TD pass or make a long run but he played damn near a perfect game.

Agreed. I seen him pulling, walling off defenders, knocking guys back, being strong against defenders.

I think I recall seeing one play where a defender split between him and a tackle to get to luck but I don't know who had responsibility on the defender on that play but even if he did it was the only thing I recall that looked bad.

Yup, in the last 2 minutes of the game, I have it recorded but I remember it being one of the last plays before OT.

It's unfair to watch a guy 70 snaps and point out a few bad plays but it sure looked like he missed a huge block on their last offensive play. Forcing an errant throw .


when looking at the landscape if a comparable pass rusher emerges I'd go 1.Pass rusher 2.Konz or Glenn
Rather than 1.Decastro 2.searching for a pass rusher

Is he better than Steve Hutchinson and Iupati? I don't see a road grader , I see an absolute Rock.

 

[Tobal]

Ok we are talking about the 14th pick in the draft. I thought he was good, several times I didn't like his reaction to delayed blitz, and stunts. Brain you pointed out one of those times. I thought he was good, and I thought he got better in the 2nd half.

Hepulled well looked like as atheletic as a tight end pulling and walling off guys.

I guess I'm just expecting someone to physically dominate and I sure did not see that. I realize he's a different type of lineman than I'm used to seeing.

I need to see him against some big guys with power

I was talking to a buddy last night and he made a good point. It's almost like DeCastro has a sleeping potion because every passing play you see the rest of the OL scatter, 2-5 yards spread out and off the ball and there is DeCastro at the exact same spot he engaged his guy.

Rock is a good term.

I honestly can't make out what your talking about and this is not a homer thing nor do I have any vested interest in the guy.

There were several times he took on two defenders because either his OC or OT took the wrong read on a blitz.

I have watched the play Brain talked about and it does appear to be DeCastro's responsibility on the play but so be it. Show a perfect game by anyone.

Are far as physically dominating, he recorded 13 PC blocks in the game. That's about as close to domination as it gets.

I have to agree. DeCastro was pretty dominating in that game. He not only showed great power but also very good agility and speed for a big man, as Stanford used a lot of sweeps where he was pulling from his G spot leading the way. Color me impressed with DeCastro I would be pleased if he ended up as our 1st pick. He is one of 3 guys I would be very happy with the 14th pick

 

[Tobal]

ok i'll take your guys word on it

 

[Doomsday101]

As I said he would be one of the 3 guys at this stage I would like to have the others are OLB Melvin Ingram the other CB Dre Kirkpatrick

I agree on all of them.

As of right now, i'm looking at DeCastro, Ingram, Kirkpatrick and Claiborne.

 

[Phrozen Phil]

The left side of Stanford's O-Line has scouts drooling. The Left Tackle, Jonathan Martin, is also a first round prospect. He had a great year last year, and only a good year this year. Both Martin and DeCastro will be first year starters in the NFL. Martin might even be drafted before DeCastro. He is a Junior, but it appears that he will declare.

Morris Claiborne? Good luck with that he is a top 5 to 6 pick.

It would sure help this team in short yardage, goal line and helping keep Tony upright. :laugh2:

It's too early to know that to be exact.

More than likely he probably is but to say it's a lock is premature.

I can still hold out hope, right?

I don't think it is any more premature than when Peterson came out last season. But it is alright to hope. I think the only way he drops is getting injured in the BCS Championship game or some off the field problem. Outside of that I think most scouts consider him the #1 CB in the draft.

Care to share some links to the plays of the game?

 

[Tobal]

I think the Stanford Oline was so good lastnight that maybe he didn't stand out as much to me.

I hit the you tube vids and one was shwoing positive and negative, hell on most of the negatives I thought he looked good and they just didn't understand the play when they labled it negative.

He looked much more physical than I thought he was from lastnights game. I love how he pulls so easy but under control. So many guys pull and let defenders get inside them on the edge, he turns that corner very well.
