2023 1st round pick is #6 Paris Johnson

[kerouac9]

fair enough, the good news is Ojulari is back on the field, he was incredible in college, think he led the cards with 4 sacks his rookie year with limited paying time. He has a lot of potential to be the long term answer at OLB, he made a few good plays last week, just hope he stays healthy.
Drob looks to have all the talent, havent seen many impact plays yet
Elijah jones; doesnt seem to get on the field much for a 3rd round pick, had some injuries

Bro glazing Beej is an absyvhoicd you don’t need to make. He didn’t lead the Cards in sacks his rookie season; Gardeck did. Beej has 1/2 sack more than Dante Stills.

And Beej was just okay in college. Don’t make him out to be Abdul Carter or Jared Verse as a prospect.

signs of life from DRob the past few weeks as he moves from Wendall Bryant territory into Robert Ndmikeche (sp?) territory at least.

Yikes, both are so bad it's hard to distinguish between them

On one explosive play yesterday, he shot through a gap in the d-line and made a (I think) a TFL. A really nice rep.

I personally hate the Bryant / Nkemdiche labels because DRob is not the head case / lazy player they both were. His play is like Antonio Smith but he was drafted at the end of round 1. Just have to hope he continues to grow for the next GM and HC.

He isn't even scratching Antonio Smith levels yet. Will he ever?

You are forgetting the most important stat, pass coverage.... considering Williams was the no3 CB in the NFL and made PFF's top 100 players in the NFL and Bullock did not, maybe take that into consideration.

Cool. One very good season… where he wasn’t even the starter. And this season, he’s been injured again and his numbers aren’t nearly as good. Maybe take all of that into consideration as well.

BJ was incredible in college and Drob “looks to have all the talent”… ah… okay. Now I see who I’m talking to.

Again… both teams were starting from scratch. The Texans made the trade as the cornerstone of everything they do on D, which has made them playoff contenders from Day 1. We decided to go with a pupu platter approach that has produced an ish-sandwich despite a boatload of picks, with zero success in actually winning games. But yeah… we smoked their ass!

Dude… you can’t talk to Chopper about DRob. It’s one of those subjects where someone just refuses to admit they’re wrong.

Ah, gotcha. Man, Antonio Smith was a freaking amazing draft pick. Didn't he cause that safety in the SB too, or am I misremembering?

Think that was Dockett.

I loved that Johnson pick. You can't go wrong building around the trenches. Not the sexiest of picks, but those are the guys that win games. It's tough at Tackle to get in, too.

Look at all those gave we’ve won since we’ve drafted him.

I’d argue that at least 2/3 of the teams in the NFL have an LT as good as or better than Paris Johnson Jr.

IDk, if it was ALL Paris' fault.

I was listening to a podcast and heard an interesting factoid. One ex NFL player was describing an NFL QB's footwork. He studied hundreds of NFL QBs. One part of the footwork he noted is during the pass, most successful QBs drag their back foot on the follow through. In fact, he amended that to say almost all had that motion. The one exception? Kyler Murray. He said Kyler picked up his back foot and looped it around, like an MLB infielder.

IDK what this has to do with NFL tackles. But it made me wonder about Kyler being the QB during the time Paris has been here. You still have to have a good QB, but he's nothing without a good OL. Just wondering if Kyler's throwing mechanics were the reason he was so inconsistent?

 

[Cardinal88]

Yuma, are you sure about that? I saw Kyler falling backwards on his back foot most of the time. Haha!

Paris Johnson is at the bottom of the list when it comes to Cardinals concerns.

Wut?

Ah, I get it. This post was pre the fan fun food thread. And you're right, I've never absyvhoicd anytime I've glazed something...but I've got to ask, is Beej a southern term for beef?

Wait...epiphany...this was during one of those "gummy" incidents...

"Beej"...a generally considered term of affection for an individual named "Bee-Jay"..as in B.J. Ojulari
