Daniels Expected To Start Tonight

I have to agree that Daniels is overhyped on this board. I hope he can live up to it, but I have to say that it worries me to think he will be starting.

Overhyping????

On this board???

It is really odd if you ask me that the two big FAs Rick brought in have looked so bad this preseason. James has an excuse of sorts, but Howard does not. If he doesn't take tonight as a wake up call and start playing up to his salary, it isn't going to look good for him.

JJ it might be due to the big drop off in talent after Sam, and people are hoping he steps it up for all of our sakes!:)
 
I certainly hope he will develop, but 2 things bother me.

1. There's a reason he didn't go until the 4th round. and

2. He looked pretty slow off the line. Seems to have the system down, but he took a long time coming off the line and getting out of his breaks. We'll see tonight. Jimmy Smith is a good test.

I'd like to elaborate on this point a bit. What worries me is that unlike Poole, there is likely a performance reason behind where he was picked. Poole dropped because of attitude issues but was always billed as having 1st round talent. I never heard that about Daniels.

Daniels wasn't even on my radar as a player, except for having played for Saban. You're right, Poole was pretty universally viewed as a steal. Nobody has said that about Daniels. Hopefully Crowder may be this year's Poole.

Hopefully the corners, and safeties can have a better game today.

Honestly, I think the safeties playing better would make a huge difference no matter who is at CB. I think Travis Daniels can tell you about safeties blowing plays if I recall things right.

I agree. If the front 7 can get pressure on the quarterback, that will help them out tremndously!
