ChickenBiscuit Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 The only big problem I see with Goodman is that even though his athleticism is underrated, his initial burst off the line is very lacking. I've seen some DTs blow off the line quicker and I think that's what held him back. He's a strong guy, has really helpful long arms to keep lineman off of him which is what made him good in college, but it's difficult to play in this league if your initial burst isn't as good. IMO, the reason Abraham was so skilled was because if you watch his higlights, he was incredibly agile for a defensive lineman. His hands were vicious and his footwork and initial burst are just flawless.Mallichiah, IMO, has more potential than he's given credit for. When I watched the film on him and saw his combine stats I didn't think he would have much potential but I see him as being a good pass rusher in the future, if not, a great run-stopper to help our much-lacking run-defense.

falcons007 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 We shall see in the camp and pre season. He needs to clean up his game and can be big part of rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newgafatboy Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 if he is that slow off the line...maybe his athleticism isn't underrated at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karst41 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Goodman is 6'4 285 ibs.That is the physical maturity of an 8 year vet.The initial move at the snap is just as important as speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilhoney Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 We had a top 5 D in points allowed last year. I hate to break your hearts, but that was pretty good D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to break your hearts, but that was pretty good D.The defense was better than most gave credit for.This is why we will not see wholesale changes, butwill see different looks and rotations.

Drunken Minotaur Zebra Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 i sorta feel like maponga will end up being better thoughI agree. I am not sure where Goodman will end up in the scheme, but he will be solid. Maponga has playmaker written all over him though. Guy forces fumbles like it's going out of style.

WOR Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Last night TD said they want to get him up to 295. That is going to be one big boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autigerfan Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I see him being a part time player this year rotating a lot at LDE with Kroy before taking on a more full time roll next year. I think 4-5 sacks would be a good number for him this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Carasik Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Last night TD said they want to get him up to 295.That is going to be one big boy.then it looks like long term, he's going to play mainly a 3- and 5-tech role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butudontseeme™ Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 if he is that slow off the line...maybe his athleticism isn't underrated at all...Maybe, but maybe his snap anticipation jus isn't very good. He can improve there, hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
