AC in the AM: Who looks good? Practice observations

[jim1]

It was just one play, without pads, but it provided a glimpse of what we might expect from No. 1 pick Charles Harris this season. The ball was snapped and before left tackle Laremy Tunsil could turn his head, Harris was already by him. Would have been a sack if the hitting were real. Instead, it was simply a reminder that even against a player of Tunsil’s caliber, that quick first step by Harris could be a difference-maker on this level. Bottom line: This young man has a chance to be special, and I’m talking about as a rookie.

good stuff. Thank you

This should be easy. Find the one-on-one matchup and that guy should be the primary target. Add smart roll outs and runs by Tannehill and this offense should be unstoppable. Except self inflicted wounds.

Ok...so if Harris is special...why wasn't he more productive at the college level?

See I don't consider 9 sacks to be extraordinary at the college level....or his hurries or TFL. Good....not great.

If they are productive in college plus have the right size then thats what you look for no doubt just can't get that all the time.

9 sacks comes to almost one a game on average in a 12 game season. His stat lines are comparable to that of the other top rushers in the draft. Had he performed better he probably would have been selected higher in the draft

Thanks for posting this, I guess.

This guy is basically just a PR puff piece writer, so I try not to take him very seriously.

Not to mention that in college it is much easier to scheme away from star players, especially against a team like mizzou, who usually isn't that stacked.
