I think Taco bounces back

[Ranching]

Maybe its just wishful thinking, but I have a feeling Taco is going to play well tonight. I think the team comes out focused and with that us against the world mentality. Let's hope it stays with them all year.

It could happen. After watching experts (and I'm not pretending to be one) breaking down his film from the HOF game, he might have had a couple of sacks if he only kept his balance. Taco played with "okay" technique but has to learn how to finish plays.

That will come with more reps. (And thanks for taking my mind off the Zeke fiasco).

I'd settle for average.

It IS wishful thinking, but I like your attitude.

As an aside, TJ Watt looked really good last night. 2 sacks.

Just sayin'.

I'm all for watching the game tonight...

He could luck into 3 sacks and fans will exclaim greatness.

He can grade out as the top DL in the game or in all of this weeks games by attracting double or triple teams to free up other players and fans will demand he should be cut for having no sacks.

I saw that, watch him win defensive rookie of the year. Lol

So a beast like Watt looked good against future Home Depot stockers?

And Taco has been less than stellar against similar competition.

Possible. But in my entire life, I've only seen one player light it up in the preseason and have that carry over into the games that counted.

And he's in my avatar photo.

Taco looked terrible against future Home Depot stockers.

Sack fumble tonight, book it!

Different team, coaches, scheme and surrounding players.

What if Dak had gone to a team without a great OL, great RB and quality WRs and TE?

Taco won't exactly have Deion and Darren Woodson behind him forcing QBs to hold the ball.

Actually, Taco went up against a tackle named Ulrick John in the HOF game. He started a few games for the Cardinals last year; so at least he wasn't stonewalled by a rookie.

Oooooh good one!

I wouldn't quite compare Taco to JJ Watt just yet.

It seems you know a lot about shelf stockers at Home Depot...

 

[LocimusPrime]

If there could have been away we could have drafted Landon Collins and TJ watt instead of Jones and Taco

Oh wait.....my bad

 

[Direwolf63]

Oooooh good one!

I haven't given up on Taco. I think he has the goods to have a solid career. He just needs to develop.

But I don't see him becoming a dynamic sack master. Guys like Vonn Miller are extremely rare.
