Ice37 0 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 man this guy is really turning in a great second half of a rookie seasonrookie wall, HA! not for this guy,i'm so glad we used a top 10 pick on this guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ice37 0 Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 and with all the talk about our defense has done a good job this seasonwhere are the sacks!!!!we get some pressure here and there, from blitz's but if we didnt have Abraham, our pass rush would be the worst in the league Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nativefalcon 314 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I agree, Carriker got a sack today his second and he went 15 in the draft, We could have traded down for him and gotten somebody else for trading down. Good one mckay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ATL4Life 0 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 give Jammal a while, he'll develop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith88 0 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Well, the replay of Milloy's INT showed Anderson actually touching the QB.I mean he actually freaking touched the QB. At this rate of progress, he should get his 1st sometime in 2010, maybe, just maybe 2009.:hehe: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robert shoop 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 haa, good one, its safe to say he was a bust, I actually stopped watching our defense on plays, and just watch Anderson, its like hes trying to push a wall, he doesnt go anywherewaist waist waist would rather had Okoye Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dem Birds 10,385 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Carriker also had the benefit of playing the Atlanta Falcons offensive line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

robert shoop 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 can you find me 1 starting DE in the league that has started all 12 games to this point, and has 0 sacks????there is 1..... his name.....Jamaal Andersonthats how bad he is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robert shoop 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 in , fact, even the Dolphins LDE has .5 sackswanna know what round he was drafted in???? HE WASNTwanna know how many games hes started??? 7so an undrafted player , with only 1 year of experience, with the worst team in the league on possibly the worst D in the league , with less playing time, has more sacks and MORE TACKLESi'm tired of the excuses for this guyohh just wait he will produce, hes a top 10 pick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the truth 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Im glad no one on this board is in the FO.....Give the kid some time.....Hes extremly RAW....he knows he needs to do more....let him get to that point.....its not lke we have the best DL right now either.....I agree. Those who are calling for JA's head are clearly idiots. Let's see what the kid does next year after a full year in the league. And to those who claim we needed Okoye...how pathetic. Okoye is a DT, NOT a DE which we badly needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robert shoop 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 umm, FYIwe still dont have a DE, we have a warm body maning that position, a warm body slightly going cold Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swiftkick 1 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Petrino should send Anderson to the bench for not being productive like he has Harrington and Leftwich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
celtiksage 1,271 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I have mentioned this before, but has anyone besides me noticed....I see Abraham taking a knee along the sidelines regularly in games while the D is on the field. Does JA ever get a breather? I actually think he's on the field for every defensive snap. I wonder if he might not need a breather or two like Abraham gets. It's no excuse or anything, but I do wonder if he isn't getting too much work.celtik Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VincentVanBro 55 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 What we should have done was resigned Kerney then moved down and taken Reggie Nelson.End of story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dakid 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 ^that was my plan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IrishFalco 59 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Anderson was about 0.1 second away from sacking Gus, which brought enough pressure for that interception.Give the guy more time, not everyone breaks out in the rookie year.Strahan didn't, and he is one of the best all-time.

dyoshot 163 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I constantly hear people comparing Jamal to Mario Williams, Osi Umenyora, and Michael Strahan, all guys who struggled their rookie years. However, there is no comparison between the players, they are completely different.Mario Williams was a three year starter at NC State, and was a machine almost the entire time. He was very much worth the #1 overall pick, struggled his first year, but most people didn't know he also played with a foot injury most of the season. Umenyora and Strahan didn't have a lot of sacks their rookie years, but neither came into the league as starters. Also, they were always on the dline in college as well.Jamaal on the other hand was a WR until two years ago. You pluck this guy out of college while he's still learning how to play DE in the college game, you all of a sudden expect him to play in the NFL. It is going to be a long while before Jamal gets this. The technique is simply not there right now, and will not be for quite a while. I'm not trying to pile on him, he is a very nice guy. Hopefully, Jamal will get it, but in my humble opinion I think it will take him at least two years before he resembles anything close to a dominant defensive end. I know hindsight is always 20/20, however this is proof you simply cannot draft for need in the top 10. The top 10 picks are only to be used on the best players available, period. I will never pretend that I have the talent to be a NFL GM, but at this point I don't think that player was Jamaal. Someone brought up a good point here a while ago, and that was, "If Patrick Kerney resigned with us, would Jamal be on this team?" I can't help but ask the same question.Hopefully I'm wrong and he dominates for us next year, but it doesn't look like he'll be doing that anytime soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
