Is Our 2nd Rounder a Faster Version of TJ Watt?

[RonWashington]

What Sanders are you referencing? Colonel Sanders?

Fred G

 

[quickccc]

what if Donovan Eze is another Robert Quinn ..or Dante Fowler ..?

Would that suffice ?

Those are good comparisons.

Agree the 2nd rounder was a 1st rounder on alot of boards. Good value .

What's the deal with his contract. Why is he unsigned?

my favorite player in our draft but i would wait till TC before comparing him to TJ Watt.

I like the kid too but I will wait until about mid-regular season to pronounce him anything other than a guy with great potential that I’m glad we drafted.

I don’t think it’s fair (I know you aren’t doing it) to these rookies to start comparing them to a future HOFer before they’ve ever played a down of real NFL football.

Mafah= Henry
Blue= Sanders
Deuce=Sproles
Juanyeh Watson= Woodson
Donovan Ezeiruaku= TJ Watt

Ya gotta love the honeymoon period.....

Brian Schottenheimer = Tom Landry/Jimmy Johnson
Matt Eberflus = Buddy Ryan
Klayton Adams = Kyle Shanahan

Overview​

Slightly undersized outside linebacker for a 3-4 front with long arms and plus athleticism. Ezeiruaku uses every bit of his length paired with aggression to mitigate size differences at the point of attack. He gets engulfed at times but typically separates from or slips blocks cleanly. He’s quick off the snap, using bend and agility to win at the top of the rush or make stops in the backfield. His hands exploit small advantages to turn them into big ones and he has a variety of ways to challenge protection, though he’s still learning to craft his plans. Ezeiruaku’s play demeanor, skill and athletic talent are the underpinnings of a productive starter with three-down value.

Strengths​

• Smooth hips with easy change of direction in space.
• Long arms greet blocker with forceful punch in the chest.
• Slips quickly past blocks and makes plays in the backfield.
• Uses agility, recognition and athleticism to pile up tackles.
• Rushes with consistent forward lean and active hands.
• Bend to sink under the punch and corner the arc tightly.
• Makes sudden alteration to his rush track, using inside-out euro-step.
• Climbs right up on tackle’s toes before looping under on twists.
• Hits fluid arm-over transitions to beat protection inside.

Weaknesses​

• Works under the block and loses contain.
• Gets engulfed by size when blockers get into him.
• Size of tackles helps to wear down his rush energy.
• Lacks bull-rush power to collapse tackles into pockets.
• Rush plan needs more time to develop and diversify.
• Average pursuit speed and closing burst

NFL Comparison: Yannick Ngakoue

Weaknesses are a huge RED FLAG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell me again why we drafted him????

As long as he doesn’t pull a Shemar Stewart and leave

You mean above average....eventually journeyman. You would need a rotation of them then ... which is what we have now

 

[KingCorcoran]

What's the deal with his contract. Why is he unsigned?

He wants it fully guaranteed. He’s one of 30 second round picks still unsigned. All for the same reason. The two that have signed got fully guaranteed deals.

Whoooaaaa slow down

 

[CT Dal Fan]

What's the deal with his contract. Why is he unsigned?

Almost no second round picks are currently signed because the Texans pulled a first and fully guaranteed Jayden Higgins' contract (34th overall pick). Agents are going to try to get the next few guys some guaranteed money too. Normally only 1st round picks get guaranteed deals.

Once that gets sorted out, all the dominoes will quickly fall. Dallas will know where to slot Donovan's cash and the deal will get done.

Donovan Ezeiruaku might just be an instant jolt of lightning in bottle, ready to wreck havoc on NFL offenses. With very long arms and great short area quickness and burst, along with enormous strength for his weight, DE may not just be a situational defensive end, but a roving stud whom Eberflus can move around to keep opposing offenses worrying from where this uber-talented impact player will strike. And that is after the opposing offenses have to worry about Micah Parsons. This Donovan Ezeiruaku kid has the football radar instincts to make splash plays like the smaller D. Overshown, who himself proved to be a great impact player on defense.

Like many Wisconsin players who actually are better in the pros than in College, such as TJ Watt, who was an instant star for the Steelers, whom the Boys passed over for Taco Charlton, I have the feeling we have an instant impact player in, whom other teams will regret passing over in the draft, who will as a rookie make tackles for a loss, give lots of heat to opposing QB's, causing errant throws and will pair with Micah to be the greatest pass rush threat duo since the glory days of Harvey Martin and Too Tall Jones.

He likes to be called "EASY." So I suggest at home games after a splash play he makes and a timeout on the field, that they play some of the great Eagles song TAKE IT EASY!

Pump the brakes and put away the anointing oil. Let's see how he does when he goes against the best in the NFL.. I hope he is a stud, but we will not know until the games start.
