Why is Corey doing so well in the NFL and lining up for a huge contract when his college career at UW was low(er) profile?

I remember he was starting to come on nicely but kapow his eligibility was used up...

- late bloomer?
- not used correctly?

No redshirt. By the time he was getting good, he was gone. He would have been huge for us in 2016 if he had redshirted.

This.

Doesn't even look like the same person.

You mean redshirts matter?

It helps when you are a linebacker playing behind guys like Suh and Donald.

How are we going to replace Littleton?

Not when you’ve recruited properly with NFL caliber talent each year like Alabama and Pete at USC

Nah, they'll leave early anyway! Who cares! Rush back from injury for 1 catch for 9 yards the week before a bye, fuck it. Hey Kyler want to waste the option of a 5th year by playing 5 games worth of kickoff coverage? Torch that thing.

I was actually told by somebody in the program, "you don't know the whole story." SarkSure.gif but I can think about the cost-benefit for literally 45 seconds and figure out how asinine these decisions are...but nah, no way anybody not directly involved in the decision making could know better. Dangerous fucking mindset and I have a fear it's widespread.

Putting the stupidity of burning redshirts aside... I’m going to doog a little bit.
Littleton, Dissly (before injury) insert name of other lowly recruited dawg now carving out a butch for themselves in the nfl.

Maybe there’s something to be said for petermans repetitive focus on the basics. 10k hours type shit.

So selling croots on “I can get 2-⭐️ dissly to the league. Imagine what I can do with 4 Ford or 5 rRingo.”

Maybe...

I actually disagree with that. Neither Suh or Donald are disciplined DT’s who take up blockers. They try to shoot gaps and make plays in the backfield.

The Rams defense is very mediocre. They are opportunistic and have playmakers tho.

Agree. But they also are consistently getting the attention of multiple lineman. It's a good place to play MLB.

The Texans are a good example of a “disciplined” D line, which is why Clowney can just line up wherever and do whatever he wants and its devastating.

Oh so much to learn young padawan. Roster management matters.

Littleton’s senior year he was a fucking man. I couldn’t believe how good he was. Feeney got more pub, but Littleton has grown man strength.

No shit, that was the point of the post. How the hell did you miss the sarcasm? I wonder about you sometimes, Jim.
