He hits his fits with such speed that if you blink at the snap it looks like he's teleported. He can take a false step and still beat the lineman to the point of attack. He is a giant block of quick twitch musculature. When you say that, I think of the guy in my avatar. That movement is what’s called a flash step, when he does it. 🤓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think they both sat out. Gave me a chance to form a new man crush on BJ Blunt. He was quite active in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't even look like the same player anymore, I always thought he was kind of a beanpole in college. Shocked me when he showed up at the combine looking like Superman. He made Bosa look sloppy and ungainly in comparison. He managed to add 20 to 30 pounds of good weight for the event in just a couple months. He's a genetic marvel. I watched him at Mississippi St too and I too thought he looked lanky and high cut there, but I was surprised at how strong he played. He knows how to punch and win with his length and he's naturally powerful, it was just a matter of adding the bulk to his frame. I think we sometimes forget that these guys aren't always getting the best nutrition when they're in college, especially if they live off campus. And some of them have extremely high metabolisms. Could be that he just wasn't eating enough while he was in school. 5 minutes ago, Vanguard said: How about Casanova Mckenzie (sp.?) ?

I think he's secured a roster spot and he plays in a rotation position so he's going to get to play. Seems like the lightbulb has come on for him and he's found his place in the NFL here.

He looks really good out there, easy to tell when he's not on the field and when he is with the 2nd and 3rd stringers. We've also been hearing his name a lot in through the local media, he's been having some really good practices. I don't see much separation between him and Ryan Anderson, he's a virtual lock as a rotational edge player. Could have a Chris Baker type of career NFL trajectory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like he's gained good all around weight and put on at least 20 pounds since his college days. My only issue with him so far is his burst off the line, I've noticed he's generally last off the line when he's lined up with Allen, Payne, and Kerrigan. He's a long-strider when he runs so his initial burst probably isn't elite but i'd like to see him get off faster than Payne lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxJoe Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Here’s a clip from our friend Mark Tyler of Hog’s Haven showing Payne toss to the ground one of the best centers, Alex Mack. Notice also how Sweat takes on a double team, stays in his lane responsibility, and still jump on the pile. https://mobile.twitter.com/Tiller56/status/1164884325449572353 Bye-the-way... why don’t my tweet url copy-and-paste display only as a text line?

Brantley was out last week and I think that impacted Settle’s play. Ryan Bee got a lot of snaps this week but didn’t look as good as Settle or Brantley.

His 2017 season he was listed as 241 lb but his 2018 season is when he gained 20 lb. but looking at him on the field Thursday, he looks noticeably bigger. Our roster still lists him as 262 though. This play where Payne blew up the center, look at Sweat on the left side. At first he’s doubled by a TE and the LT, holds his own, then the LT moves to the 2nd level and Sweat, keeping his head up, looking at the ball carrier, puts a double move on the TE and gets to the pile. That is some good athleticism and raw power in one quick move. Plays like this don’t show up on the stat sheet but it’s still good football.

Predicted he would be best used as a MLB in a 3-4. Looks like he got injured at the end of his senior year which probably tanked his draft stock. What’s odd is that he’s listed as 6-1 on his player profile but listed as 6-3 on Redskins .com http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/cassanova-mckinzy?id=2555526 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
