We have gotten so much better at drafting with the current structure, IMHO. Sweat was a great pick. He's an elite athlete, with elite size, and produced very well. Moving up and grabbing that kind of guy for two 2nd's is so much better than trading back off of a guy like that for 2 seconds. The Colts moved back and drafted Ben Banogu. He's an elite athlete, but is 24, smaller than sweat, and never produced on a level comparable to Sweat. Even if he winds up being good, it was a poor process pick. Older relatively non-productive athletes like Banogu that are drafted on athletic potential belong in 3rd or 4th. 

Sweat was a great pick and has the potential to really transform this defense if he can become a pro-bowl caliber speed rusher. 

 

 

 

Agree on I was one of the people that touted Banogu on the draft thread as a 2nd tier type pass rusher that I like.  Regardless, Sweat has the tools to be elite.  Banogu not so much.   We got IMO too many solid-good players and not enough killer game breaker types.  Sweat has the tools to be great.   It's part of the reason why I also loved (no pun intended) the Bryce Love pick.  If Love gets back to healthy, he has elite level talent.

Precisely, we have been lacking the players that make our opposition uncomfortable. When healthy, Love, Foster, Sweat, & Guice all offer that in addition to Payne, Allen, Ion, & even Settle offers extreme upside we’ve lacked. Settle, in Dallas, flashed more than any DT we’ve had in 15 years.

Not that it matters either way, but who is the dude with the blue hat and gold fronts? 🤔

😂 did not expect that. Guy hugging him looked a little off tbh, maybe special needs or something. Even if Montez Sweat is indeed Montez Sweet it doesnt matter, dudes gonna dominate either way.

I'd rather see Anderson and Sweat starting over Kerrigan. Doesn't close on the QB, terrible in coverage and overpersues the run.

 

I have no idea why we continue to see posts like this one.  Ryan Kerrigan has been rock solid, he's never hurt, and he just puts up solid season after solid season year after year. Before the draft he was literally the only edge rusher on this team, I have no idea why he gets hate from some uninformed fans.  There is no reason, zero, to bench Ryan Kerrigan for Anderson.

Ignoring all the Raiders stuff, this is a good blend of highlights on what Sweat brings in each phase of the game. 

 

 

 

Thanks for this..  You are right, need to wade through all the Raiders crap but this is the best highlight package I've seen yet.  Can't wait to see this guy play, maybe even Manusky can't screw this defense up.

Volsmet, I missed that game. Any chance you have the ability to gif Settle's Dallas game up a little bit in the defensive front thread?

Plus, how many clutch plays / turnovers has kerrigan been a part of over the years.  He has been our defenses biggest playmaker and continues to perform well.  with his leadership, he is one of the first ones to pencil in on the starting defense.   

 

And what exactly has Ryan Anderson accomplished that we should view him as a threat to the starting position?  I think Anderson can play a role on this team and I still have hope he will continue to grow into a better player, but starting Anderson over kerrigan would be absolutely foolish, and I don't expect the coaching staff to even consider it.

Hoping that we get Sweat signed before rookie minicamp is over with.

Dexter Manley ran a 4.55 40. I remember him as a rookie gunner on ST. Totally trashed opposing overages...I wonder if they'd risk Sweat in that capacity given they have *some* depth to give him breathers on D. THAT would be (was) fun to watch...

 

This guy is BETTER than Manley... Kerrigan/Sweat > Manley/Man looking forward to it.

[skinsfan66]

Better than Mann/Manley? Kerrigan would be no.3 in that group for me.   Sweat, we can only hope turns out to be the next Dexter, Ryan the best on the left side since Mann.

The Redskins other first-round pick, linebacker Montez Sweat, stands out because of his measurables. "I have no doubt he'll play a lot," Redskins coach Jay Gruden said. "The skill set is obvious. You see his length, you watch him run after practice and he's probably faster than anyone we have right now."

Supposedly that's his brother DeMarcus Sweat, he played as a wide receiver for Kentucky.

He reminds me of another #90 that used to play for the Panthers. Peppers used to run sprints with the DB's in practice because he was so fast.

Thank you for clearing it up. Thought hadn’t even crossed my mind. People already trying to make the guy look bad.

@Koolblue13 has some pretty strange takes. But Ryan Anderson starting over Ryan Kerrigan may be the most bizarre take I've ever seen from him/her.  

[LD0506]

Maybe a bit OT but I'm likin Sweat's demeanor, just seems like regular, down-to-earth kinda guy, good family, easy going but focused, just someone you'd hang out with totally aside from football.

Right. Then come the season when everyone is in the game day thread ****ing about him over pursuing run plays and biting on every single play action you'll look at the price tag, but he'll get a couple games a year that he'll pad his sack totals and you can tout him as untouchable come the offseason. If Anderson improves as much as he did last season, it'll be irresponsible to keep him off the field. By midseason last year, even Cooley was banging the table wondering why he wasn't on the field most of the time. I get that sacks are your be all stat for a players ability, but theres a lot more to being a good OLB. Especially on Kerrigans side.

[Anselmheifer]

I wonder how telling the PFF pressure rate is for a prospect. Sweat was tied top 3 in the last 3 years. I remember PFF saying something about pressures being more reliable and predictive of NFL success than sacks.

 

Sweat definitely has been productive. I honestly think there is a real chance, with his production, length, and athleticism, that we may have drafted our first all pro defender in years. I hope he keeps his head on straight and works hard.

Kerrigan offers a skill that is very valuable and hard to find, he is never hurt and has been productive. So far Ryan Anderson has shown very little, there is no chance he will be able to provide the edge pressure Kerrigan provides. So as you can see from the responses from the other posters your position is not shared by others, including the coaching staff.  

 

There is not a player on this team that can't be criticized for something. I just think you are barking up the wrong tree with your assessment of Kerrigan when there are many other players where criticism is more worthy. And the suggestion to replace him with a guy who has so far shown virtually nothing makes little sense as well.
