@BoltsDraftTalk Hot take is that tackling is all about the system allowing guys to play fast. Missed tackles come from overthinking angles and responsibility. If you know your job and are confident breaking on things, there’s a LOT less missed tackles as long as contact aversion isn’t there

[Duffy @THA_Duffman]

@BrandonThornNFL Also curious to hear if you could see him as a Joe Tippmann type player in the NFL where he has G C flex and can work in zone schemes at either position.

[Duffy @THA_Duffman]

@BrandonThornNFL Really curious to hear what your thoughts are on Slaughter moving to G in McDaniels OZ system. Feels like it could be interesting but a stretch in pass pro year 1. Though McD does a good job of avoiding 1v1s in the pass game.

[Duffy @THA_Duffman]

@BrandonThornNFL That's true, just found it interesting when he was such a dedicated OZ guy for the last 5ish years.

[Duffy @THA_Duffman]

@BrandonThornNFL Curious about your thoughts on coaches significantly switching very successful schemes/archetypes that they’ve coached previously.

[Duffy @THA_Duffman]

@BrandonThornNFL I see this. But also had a question. Ledford has been THE OZ guy since he came to the NFL. But it looks like Bal is going to run a gap scheme between a Ben Johnson/NO understudy and Simpson/Ioane. Has he done that at the college level before.

@jmthrivept @Graham_SFN He did in fact tear his ACL on this play. It was Isaiah World

[Duffy @THA_Duffman]

@tylerjschoon Jared Wilson last year

[Duffy @THA_Duffman]

@BrandonThornNFL @A_Bris9 Thoughts on Slaughter being announced as a G in that Wide zone scheme?

[Duffy @THA_Duffman]

@BrandonThornNFL Yeah. I think it’s one of the more interesting drafts for that kind of thing. Funny one this year is that Kayden Proctor fits the mold of a GB stretch zone OL. Where one of the better ZBS fits is Bisontis doesn’t meet the agility standards. Curious if a zone team looks at Proctor

@ChrisLap_18 You didn’t answer my question. When’s the last time someone with those numbers busted? That’s the definition of “floor”. The athleticism raises the floor as much as it does the ceiling. Even if he never gets great technique he’ll still out athlete NFL tackles often

[Duffy @THA_Duffman]

@ChrisLap_18 We’re talking about projection and athletic profile, one requires pretty extreme outliers to touch 10 sacks, and one that has guys pretty regularly very good pass rushers despite college profile. Give me the last player in the top 2 rounds with a 40” and 10’10+ jumps that busted

[Duffy @THA_Duffman]

@ChrisLap_18 @KP_Show I’m throwing out Oweh like he’s a top 10 pass rusher in the NFL in pass rush win rate.

[Duffy @THA_Duffman]

@ChrisLap_18 @KP_Show And neither of those guys are Bradley Chubb or Verse. Not even close.

[Duffy @THA_Duffman]

@ChrisLap_18 @KP_Show For the sole reason that he went to Georgia behind Nolan Smith, Trayvon Walker (and Davis/Wyatt. And still put up 1 less sack as a Freshman than TJ Parker had as a Sr. Their production is pretty equal. 18.5 to 21.5 career. Their best years are almost identical.

[Duffy @THA_Duffman]

@ChrisLap_18 @KP_Show You’re just throwing out wild .01% outliers for these guys. If I want, Malachi Lawrence has a lot of Daniel Hunter to his game. He’s got the measurables of Khalil Mack, very similar.

[Duffy @THA_Duffman]

@ChrisLap_18 @KP_Show Chub is the 150% outcome of what is possible for Johnson. Chubb is one of the players that overcame being an average athlete. Him and Suggs. TJ Parker is a long, long way from that tier.

[Duffy @THA_Duffman]

@ChrisLap_18 @KP_Show Please explain how running a 4.7, sub 35” vert and a 10’ broad is “tested well”. Parker is a very physical player that plays hard. He’ll be a very solid as a run stopper. He might get to 7 or 8 sacks a year or two in a year. The upside is below.

[Duffy @THA_Duffman]

@ChrisLap_18 @KP_Show Ok 5 sacks is low. But I don’t see them topping 10 in a season. Just not athletic enough. Unless one of them pulls out a random Preston Smith year. But that kind of path is kind of the very high end outcome for both.

[Duffy @THA_Duffman]

@ChrisLap_18 @KP_Show This is what I was waiting for. For you to list every down guys who are probably 5 sack NFL players every year. Parker is very poor man’s Jeremiah Johnson esque. Physical strength rusher without the power to beat NFL OTs. Looks great in college, doesn’t play in the NFL.
