Sack that QB Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 He’s gonna be elite for a long time. He’s never played football in his life before the NFL. He’s never started any game at any level until last week. And he held his own against a team that went to the SB and then the best defense in the NFL the week after. That is insanely impressive. I mean think about that. How many OTs have we seen in this league who HAVE played college and high school football at a high level who go into the NFL and get dominated in their first few starts because they just aren’t ready? This dude has none of that experience and he’s pancaking dude in his 2nd ever start on a top level defense. bright future for this guy. LT of the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaBeach_Eagle Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'm very happy with how Jordan's played. At this point, which is way too early to say this but hey, this is TATE... I say the job is his to lose and Dillard's gonna have to fight to win it back. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a great situation for this offense though isn't it. Use the draft picks on other positions next year and let them fight it out in camp for the starters job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in this day and age where music isnt very good, Tool is a special band and there is nothing like them out there. Had the privilege of seeing them with Meshuggah back in 2002 I think it was. Greatest concert I've ever seen and at that time I wasn't nearly the fan I am today. Blew my mind how great they were. Think I sat there with my jaw hanging down for the entire show. Was planning to go see them in May but the pandemic hit. Here's to hoping we dont have to wait another 13 years for another album. Btw, The Grudge to me is their best song. I know I'm in the minority with that but just my opinion. They really dont have any bad songs. Huge Meshuggah fan as well. Mastodon too, although I much prefer their older stuff. I'd actually Tool not release another album. Did not like the last one, at least by Tool standards. Maynard has obviously grown bored of Tool and it shows. I'd rather him go on to make what is in my opinion, completely worthless music with Puscifer. Even the last APC album was garbage for me. And I actually mean garbage on that one. I think I'd rather listen to Muse than APC's last album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the new album. The instrumentals stick out way more on the new album than Maynards vocals do. But it is a little bit more of a mellow album than their previous stuff. I'd love to get as much music from these guys because you never know when they will be done. Danny Carey is almost 60. We wont ever hear music like them again so give us whatever you have.

eagle45 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I'm wondering about a Dillard/Mailata combination as bookend tackles. I hate to punt on yet another 1st round pick and I think Lane's body is quitting a bit early on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Lane, Mailata, Driscoll and Toth, plus Tega on the PS. Considering how well we develop olinemen, I would take the chance to flip Dillard before the draft next year, or I would be calling team's in need of oline help who have a former top pick on IR at a position we need (LB, CB, S.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain F Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 What about a line that looks like............. Mailata Dillard (rookie) Brooks Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mailata Dillard (rookie) Brooks Johnson Haven't the whispers on the winds always been that Seumalo would one day take over C from Kelce? Not that I'd be against a rookie C. Would Dillard be suited to play LG? I thought his strengths were technique and finesse (especially in pass pro) while his weaknesses are strength and being a road grader. He's going to be facing bigger boys on the interior. Maybe Seumalo comes back to LG and a rookie at C? And if a rookie at C then we're most likely talking about no later than a 3rd round pick.

IrishEagle61 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 If he plays well the rest of the year he could be in line for a multi year extension (Contract up after next year). Which potentially means we could get him on the cheap if we take that risk and give him that contract early. I'm all for taking that risk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I mean even if he does play well and he does get an extension I think the beauty is he won't get a huge deal! That puts us in a rather good position in that sense.

JetroLot Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Addressing anyone, not specific people. Andre Dillard to RT or guard because he is ineffective (primarily because he isn't physical) at left tackle? That's like replacing your pick up truck with a Corvette because it wasn't towing well enough and you need something with more balls. Andre needs to take a trip to Oz to ask the Wizard for some testes or heart or is going to find himself a free agent with the way Jordan is playing because, Jordan is better at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any picks he makes are a waste of resources. He's making sandwiches without bread when it comes to the draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we could have asked for him to play much better in his first two competitive starts. He has had injury issues, but I'm more than excited about his future. Has an elite ceiling and is already playing like a decent starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had another overall solid game, I think we may have found our LT. Try moving Dillard to LG next season and if that doesn't work out, trade or cut him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green_Guinness Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 That was a great hit and man did that ball fly out. Unfortunately, right to another Ravens player. Seems like a few of the Ravens tried to had a verbal go at Mailata for blowing up their teammate. Wait til he gets even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course with the injury bug, we could be starting an entirely new offensive line in a month, and the whole point of Jordan will be mute. Right now I am just praying that we do not loose any more guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
