Michael Vick Is A Disgrace

More on the story that just won’t go away. I talked at length about Michael Vick on MHR Radio last night, about his supposed involvement in a dog-fighting ring that was run at a property he owns in Virginia. I made the point that behind capital crimes, cruelty to animals is one of [...]

Pass Rushing Outside Linebackers for the 2009 NFL Draft

We all want our team to put pressure on the quarterback. Defense wins championships and the pass sack and even QB pressure can be a game changing event, often leading to fumbles and interceptions. We all know about the sure fire early rounders like Texas’ Brian Orakpo, Northern Illinois’ Larry English and Georgia Tech’s Michael Johnson, but today I am going to highlight a few sleepers that might be available in the middle to later rounds of the 2009 NFL Draft. These prospects are extremely versatile because of their ability to put their hand down and rush the passer or stand up and play as a conventional linebacker. There are plenty of talented juniors this year and I will cover them later after they declare, but for now I will only cover a few seniors.

The first two prospects from Oregon State will likely be late round 2009 NFL Draft Picks, but they are very interesting and could be late round steals with their uncanny ability to get after the quarterback and chase down the ball carrier.

Victor Butler, 6’ 3” 238 lbs. Oregon State
The MVP of the 2009 Sun Bowl, Butler was fantastic in Oregon State’s 3-0 win. In the game he recorded 11 tackles, four quarterback sacks, five tackles for losses, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovered.
For the season he recorded 12 sacks and an amazing 21.5 TFLs. Blazing fast and versatile, in high school (Eisenhower High, Rialto, Ca) he played receiver, safety, defensive end and ran back kicks.

Slade Norris, 6’ 3” 245 lbs. Oregon State
Norris is right up there talent-wise with Butler, he is just as fast and even has better size. Norris recorded 10 sacks and 18.5 TFLs in 2008.

Connor Barwin, 6’ 4” 248 lbs. Cincinnati
This former tight end is lightening in a bottle; he is very athletic and has a lot of upside. This was his first season playing defense and he looks to have found a home. In 2008 he recorded 11 sacks and 14.5 tackles for loss (TFL).

Stryker Sulak, 6’ 4” 245 lbs. Missouri
Sulak has the speed to chase down plays from sideline to sideline and can drop back into coverage. Sulak is a very under rated prospect. This year he recorded 10.5 sacks and 15.5 TFLs.

Nick Reed, 6’ 2” 249 lbs. Oregon
The scouts aren’t real high on Reed due his questionable foot speed, but he is a player that just gets the job done time in and time out. Over his last two years he has recorded 25 sacks and 44.5 TFLs. I would say that is consistency.

Phillip Hunt, 6’ 1” 253 lbs. Houston
Hunt is super sleeper, playing for Houston he didn’t get the exposure as some of the others, but did you know he was ranked #2 in the NCAA with 14 sacks this season? His 18.5 TFLs weren’t anything to sneeze at either. Maybe at only 6’ 1” he might not have the height as you would like, but he has immense talent none the less.

Cody Brown, 6’ 2” 244 lbs. Connecticut
Brown is an elite prospect and has played both end and linebacker throughout his career. Brown has been clocked in the 4.65 range and recorded 10 sacks and 15.5 TFLs this season. He could be a 2nd or 3rd round NFL Draft pick this year with a good combine.

One more time

For their stellar performances in the 51-45 win over the Bengals last week, Derek Anderson and Jamal Lewis were named the FedEx Air & Ground players of the week. Anderson was also named AFC player of the week.


Don't look now, but the Browns offense is ranked 6th in the NFL in scoring, 7th in total yards, 8th in passing yards, and 9th in rushing yards and 5th in kick return average. Unfortunately, the defense is the exact opposite: 31st in points allowed, 32nd for total yards allowed, 30th for passing yards allowed, and 29th for rushing yards allowed. Of course the offensive explosion by both teams last week definitely skewed the numbers.


If you want to relive the game one more time, check out these great highlights from NFL.com.

The Browns are at the Raiders on Sunday, one of the few teams in the league that have been as bad as the Browns the last couple of seasons. Cleveland looks for back-to-back wins in the same season for the first time since 2003 when, coincidentally, they beat Oakland. The Raiders meanwhile have lost 11 in a row. I haven't seen them play this season, but know that Lamont Jordan is running the ball well and has had good games against Cleveland in the past. Oakland had the number 3 defense last year and has a lot of speed, as well as a few pro bowl players on the roster. Oh, and Gerard Warren too. "Big Money" was acquired in a trade with Denver near the end of the preseason, and will likely start this Sunday.
