d-rod Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Future beast - starting towards the end of the 2008-9 season.He will be very effective against the run, and when unleashed on the outside shoulder, rather than lined up directly over the tackle as he was last year, he'll be a real pass-rush threat from LDE.On third downs, he will move inside, and will be able to generate pass rush with his quickness, and agility, and will bat down balls with his long arms.Those who have already ruled him a bust understand nothing about player development.

91dirty Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 SO ALONG WITH ABE AND HELP AT DT,THE DL SHOULD BE A PLEASANT SURPRISE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskerFalcon Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 i dont know if any one remembers or was on the MB in 07 when i was saying we needed Adam Carriker from Nebraska...i know it would be a reach at the #7 spot but i mean, a guy that was a WR that turned to a DE and is considered a top 10 pick means that he had a lucky year or its pure talent, (which i hope its talent cuz thatll mean he may have a good year this season), but carriker has been a dominate DE his whole career, and is basically proven himself in the NFL so far, so im hope jamaal breaks out like his senior year, then its not our like 5th bust of this decade..

Sun Tzu 7 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I am interested to see how he does in his 2nd year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBird4L Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Furtue beast,I think he will improve greatly this year but I don't believe we will really start buying his jerseys until his third year. DE is one of the hardest transitions to make in the NFL(QB and OT are the others IMO). He reminds me of Michael Strahan a little,both tall and big. Jamaal just needs to loose a few pounds to regain some quickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91dirty Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 WITHOUT A DOMINANT DT HIS PROGRESS WOULD BE VERY BLEEK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Donkey Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 How anyone can say beast is straight ********. The kid is lowsy against the run and horrid against the pass. Unless he's eaten some magical pill that enables you generate a pass rush then it's B-U-S-T. Remember, your fomer GM made the pikc without seeing him in person. Typical Mckay who drafts bust after bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formul8or Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I'd have more hope for his progress if we had good DT's to help him out. But we have OK DT's in the middle, so it's hindering Jamaal and Abe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pa_Falcon_Fan Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 People need to learn to be patient with players. Just because he didn't do anything his first year doesn't mean he won't become the player we expected him to be.Patrick Kerney only had 25 tackles his first year (2.5 sacks) followed up by a 45 tackle (2.5 sack) season his second. 3/4ths of this message board were calling him a bust, a wasted pick etc etc.72.5 sacks and 420 tackles later, he turned out alright didn't he?Give Jamaal a chance guys. He has the skills and smarts to be good but it's going to take time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconMama Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I think he's going to be just average. But hey what do I know my crystal ball has been giving me problems lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark hunter Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 it will all depend on how we coach him & use him....he might play some dt from what ive heard our coaches last year set him back in his progress so he will need another year or two develop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djbrough Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Let's be fair. He did not rush the passer well last year, but he was fairly stout against the run. Of course he made a few rookie mistakes, but he will improve. The bottom line is that he's blessed with above average athletic ability, and he just needs to continue to work on technique.On that note, I was happy to find out that he's been working with Chuck Smith this offseason. I think Chuck (along with helpp from Abe and the new coaches) will help him improve greatly this season. I predict 8-10 sacs for the young fella this year. He won't be classified a bust very long.

That's what he got millions for, to stop the run. Well done, he's stellar against the run but can't beat a simple one-on-one to register one sack the entire year? He's got John Abe on the other side and he can't muster up one sack? Wow, but he's incredible against the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker42 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Before I post this let me disclaim that he's got just one year under his belt so I'm not making any predictions with much force.I predict he'll be a bust. He wont be a Jimmy Williams type bust that ends up off the team in a few years but he'll never live up to his draft slot. He'll be an average DE at his peak with 4-6 sacks a year. Useful but not someone you want to pay what we're paying. Anderson's game is weak in so many areas. He's slow, his instincts are terrible, he's got no explosiveness, he plays too high, he's weak, he's got no technique, etc. He'll overcome enough of these to be an average player. He'll play on raw ability with just enough skill to hold down starting jobs. He will have a relatively short career because any slip in athleticism will see a huge slip in production.
