I think Taco bounces back

[Floatyworm]

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.

I think they lay an egg...They don't care...Just wanna get through the pre-season w/o injury. Woe is me mentality.

Ouch it's getting rough in here. People are real touchy about their taco

 

[texbumthelife]

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

How many snaps did he play? That's great production but Taco only got something like 15 pass rushes.

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

I was referring to JJ's brother in Pittsburgh.

You're right, hopefully he'll more plays tonight

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.

Taco pushed that guy around. Only help from a RB kept Taco from beating him for a sack.

If the other team is doubling a rookie DE then they must think he is a threat.

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

Sure. I do shop there on occasion.

So he has a chance to play again? The armchair scouts and coaches of CZ told me he's done....over...we've seen enough? This is odd. Here's to our young rookie and progress for preseason game #2.

16 snaps, 8 were runs. He dropped in coverage once. That comes out to 7 pass rush snaps and IIRC the QB rolled to the other side on one of those.

Von Miller had 1 sack every 69 snaps last season (1.4 per 100 snaps). If Taco got 1 in 16 snaps, that would be 4.3 times Miller's sack rate (6.3 sacks per 100 snaps).

He just needs to show improvement. I know people arwho obsessed with the sacks but you can he's not going to be an instant impact which is okay.

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

Ereck Flowers the gnats starter actually. He's not good but he's a first round pick that isn't quite camp fodder talent.

Randy Gregory abused that guy in college. Gregory even made him look silly on running plays.

If not for the suspension, Gregory would be one of the top pass rushers in the league right now.

 

[RoboQB]

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

Just sayin'.

They showed one highlight. He was untouched. I could've made that sack. Maybe the other one was better
but it wasn't shown in the highlights.

Damn

#FreeRandy...whatever now

He beat the backup OTs in training camp like rented mules. They wouldn't even let him play against Free. Tyron was the only one that could block him.

I see that now RXP, my bad......old age is hell

I'm willing to bet Taco could get a sack if the OT neglected to block him.
