    Adams is more of an Essex. Both have good feet and look like they should be able to play LT. I think Adams is bigger and stronger and could be fine once Colon helps solidify the left side of the line. But for now, Adams looks like and is kinda playing like Essex.

If you do you will see him struggling with speed rushers at the college level. You will see him Kemo a guy on one play...just leveling him...then whiff and give up a sack on the next. I put together some clips in another post showing his inconsistency. He is all potential that has never materialized. So, being high on a guy like that in the second is IMO showing poor judgment. Guess we will see how it plays out, but I'm not holding my breath on this guy. I hope I'm wrong.
      I think getting a guy with his potential in Round 2 was a steal. It is now up to the coaches to make him a Pro. I never expected him to be ready to start this season.

      He has generally been very solid in the run and struggled against the pass. That is not unexpected given that he is a rookie playing one of the toughest positions in the NFL. I believe this will turn out to be a very good pick in another year or two.

        I know we still have to give Adams some time at this point. But another guy I wasn't impressed with last game was Heyward. Wonder if we've overvalued OSU players?

        A lot of OSU players are in the league. But how many are really great players? Just a handful.

          It's merely an extention of his college career. He was always able to run block. He couldn't pass block consistently at the college level, so I know he can't at the NFL level...certainly not without much coaching up. I suppose I'm more skeptical than most because I suffered through his college career waiting for all that potential to bloom. Just never happened.
          Trolls are people too.

            I am still here and he will still be fine. This board has gotten boring so I haven't been posting as much. Check in about once every two weeks or so now.

              Shows a complete lack of commitment and dedication on your part. You should be ashamed

                    lol, IDK its just the stuff being discussed doesn't peak my interests for some reason. It could be that it is preseason. It could also be that I have spent all my time on the WVU Scout board recently because of the move to the big 12. So much exciting stuff happening at WVU now. I can't wait for the college season to start. Ill stop in for the chats during game weeks most likely if they are around.

                        Sir, that was completely uncalled for...

                        My Uncle Dad and Aunt Mom would be truly hurt by that...
                        Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.
