lol. "FAIL TO DRIVE IN THE RIGHT LANE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH TWO OR MORE LANES,"

My biggest driving "pet peeve". And it's always the slowpokes that want to live in the left lane...:)

Can a DE succeed in the 4-3 being so light?
I have not really studied him so I don't know. Is he that much of a sure thing talent? We have been awesome the last few years hitting on our early draft picks.

Robert Mathis comes to mind as one example. He came out at 235, I believe, and never got much bigger than 240. Gregory's frame can surely accommodate that kind of weight.

OMG, can you imagine how much money they would make if they opened up 12am to 3am delivery near college campuses across America?

My grandson and one of his college roomies run a "business" out of their dorm where they make food/grocery runs for a fee...they do very well.

So....would you?

You know it has to be asked.

Well, if we do, I hope somebody keeps a hammer handy just in case so that the appropriate people can be hit in the head if he fails. He's definitely stupid.

I think Mathis is bigger then that. I think he's around 250 or so but I don't know. The difference is that Mathis is only 6'2". That translates into more leverage to go with his cat quick first step. I think it's different for Gregory. He's like 6'5".

Is this the same pass rusher who had 20.5 TFL and 13.5 sacks in the SEC for 2014? What exactly do you consider a good pass rusher?
Sometimes sack numbers tell the right story and sometimes they don't. I'm basing my statements purely off watching 4-5 games of his, and not on his production. I'd have to look at each of the sack plays to see what's going on with those sacks to see if they tell the right story or not. The difference between having 7 sacks in a season and 15 sacks in a season can be pretty minimal and based on factors outside of the player's ability.

Mathis and Freeney played in a very specific version of the 4-3 defense and one that was often considered the weak link on that team.

We've seen far more busts at that weight or guys or guys who moved to LB.

BTW, as I tweeted Fitzsimmons this isn't a weed issue. It is an IQ issue for Ray.
How many guys have been popped for weed close to the draft that proved to be any thing other than goofballs.

You are a week from being a millionaire and you drive around with illegal stuff?
That's purely stupid. And stupid on a level I am not sure is fixable.

If the guy was at his residence that is one thing but being out in public and taking inane risks??
For a pot high? That's just stupid.

The example was always the per-eminent 3T except of course Warren Sapp has now proven to be a goofball over and over even well into his 40s.

If you have the guy of course you work with him, but why on God's green earth would you seek out those guys high in the draft when other choices exist???
