redman Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Good pick. Good value at a position of need for us. And while some might question his age, I think with that comes some maturity that will perhaps make him a quicker study at a complex position.

Nighthawk Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Robert McCune LB Louisville Strengths Robert has very good speed and burst to the ball. He takes good angles and is an excellent form tackler. He has quick feet and can run and flip his hips quickly to cover tight ends and drop for zone coverage in the passing game. Robert is a leader and has excellent football instincts. He makes the players around him better and he is very strong and can play any one of the LB positions. Needs to Improve Robert’s college needs to get his name out there for the NFL to notice him. At this point, he is a very underrated LB. Bottom Line Remember this kid’s name. He is going to be a core player for the team that drafts him and a fan favorite. When I was looking at the film of this team, he just jumps out at you because he understands his position so well. He understands how to tackle and hits like a bird hits a windowpane in full flight. Robert can play any one of the LB positions, but being the MLB of a team is home for him because of his leadership skills. In my opinion, he is one of the best linebackers in this draft and may be the best MLB. Robert has speed, burst, flexibility, brains and instincts. He is a leader and understands his responsibilities and the other players’ assignments. Robert is on a level of athletic ability that is far above his peers. He will play for the team that drafts him right away. I call him Robert ‘Doom’ McCune because when he gets you in his sights, you are doomed.

illone Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 If he's smart he could be just what we need in the middle. I'm sure Williams can develop this guy into a Pierce caliber player, or even better since he is faster than Pierce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinGodfather Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 This is a great pick. He is fast and loves to hit. The fact he served in the military allows him to come in as a mature rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 He needs some work on pass coverage but with his size, speed and power it's a very intriguing pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cphil006 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 This guy has size and speed. If he doesn't start he could at least be an impact on special teams. Maybe he could fire up LaVar in the weight room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
