Bullpup969 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Do any of you think he can be a replacement for Solia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeytonMannings Forehead Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 No... I mean of course theoretically he could play there but why force a round peg into a square hole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I think he could transition to LDE on some plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwifalcon Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 3rd down yeah for sure. Whack Jarett/Babs next to him Beasley & Williams/Vernon on the other side boom we're getting there with 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just now that he has some killer strength, and seems like he should be able to pull double teams. And if you don't mind, please explain why he fits said technique. Thanks.

I just now that he has some killer strength, and seems like he should be able to pull double teams. And if you don't mind, please explain why he fits said technique. Thanks. I am still learning myself Hageman is tough because while I think he could develop into a really good interior pass rusher, which would make him ideal for the 3-tech, he's a lot taller than what you ideally want at that position. He's 6'6" and those tall guys usually have issues with staying low, especially late in games, and on the interior your pad level is everything. Spongedad is right on that he would make a good LDE, or closed side end. In the 4-3 Under that LDE doesn't have to be a pure edge rusher like conventional 4-3 ends. He's going to be on the side with the tight end and his responsibilities are going to be very similar to 3-4 Ends which is actually his MOST ideal position. In fact, he in a lot of ways makes me think of Red Bryant. Bryant struggled at defensive tackle, partially because of his height at 6'4", then Pete Carroll came in and kicked him out to the Closed Side Defensive end and he blossomed. If Hageman is at the NOSE he is completely neutralized. Personally, I'm not sure he has the motor to play there down after down and take that beating. Note the pic* -- and this is just one of a variety of fronts Quinn uses. Playing at the NT, and tilted the way he would be. You ideally want a big thick guy there. I think Hageman has strength, but you want bulk -- think Vince Wilfork. Note* in the Under, the NT isn't always two-gapping, but just because of alignment he is usually going to always be facing doube-teams. If you look at DT on the left of the pic, see how he's aligned right in that gap? He's only got one gap he is responsible for. All he's got to do is shoot. He's either going to get doubled, or he is going to penetrate and make the play himself. The DE on the right side of the pic, he's playing to C gap, outside shoulder of the tackle. I've seen some alignments where he is in a little tighter than this pic, and I've even seen some calls where he is two-gapping, but generally he's responsible for securing the C gap right in front of him. That end doesn't have to be the most athletic; he can be more of a power guy and the way they did it in Seattle, that's where Red Bryant played so you can go with a taller, thicker 3-4 body-type vs. lean and athletic type that you look for in traditional 4-3 ends. Where ever you play Hageman, I think he fits best in a spot like that where he is one-gapping and can use his power and explosiveness.

Romfal Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 No. I think one more year in the system will show some improvement for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draftnut57 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Get a mountain man with power to stop up the middle, and let Hageman get to the QB, I think he's to mobile not to use him as a rusher also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Really in terms of lining up...NT isn't necessarily a "thing" like it was seem. You don't actually HAVE to do certain things just because you are lined up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro2000 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Like PeytonManningsForehead said. He has the tools to be a 3tech and rush from the inside. I would love for him to become dominant at that position. However, coaches have used him primarily on running downs. As stated, its all about leverage. There are plays where he blows his guy up every game, but others where he is driven way back. His height is a hindrance. He can definitely use his strength as a DE playing a 5tech in the 4-3 under. I just hope he improves and gets more snaps period. Edited February 14, 2016 by jeffro2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could eat and lift his way into the position, but if he's going to LDE (like someone has suggested here), he'd probably better trim-down some. His "motor might be inconsistent" because his body cannot handle the extra mass well, and chase around the field. Falcons will probably draft a NT or keep Mbu for 2 downs. Jarrett and Babineaux will earn some snaps from a pass-rush stand-point at UT..Big competition for snaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I saw him give chase in some game and he cannot run at all. His legs looked like they were bound together at mid-thigh. He is an interior guy and can play either spot.

Hashbrown3 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I will say this as clearly as I can. If Andrew Billings is anywhere near us at 17... get him. Period. I think he will be one of the fiercest nfl interior defensive linemen in the nfl. His strength alone is legendary in Texas. Add that to his incredible quickness in close quarters...he has many pro bowls ahead of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
