The development of Jordan Tripp

[timmash44]

How do you view the development of Jordan Tripp? He has a lot of upside and high reward value. Do we use him as and inside? or outside line backer?? in Coyle's system. There are some stude inside line backers in this upcoming draft.

Hard to evaluate a player when they get no playing time

I don't know why everyone thought Tripp was gonna contribute right away, he more than likely won't become anything.

because earlier in the year no one knew Jenkins would become as good as he has, wheeler and Ellerbe (no matter how much they sucked, were the starters), and got hurt. it was getting pretty thin at linebacker.

The guy has good instincts he also has a nose for stripping the ball. Like Jenkins did, he needs an off season to get bigger

Agree with Nick, once he is bigger and wiser he will be better. I expect him and McCain to contribute a lot more next year

Getting hurt in preseason certainly did not help his cause. I believe if he was as good as many fans think he is he would have sniffed the field outside of special teams by now especially at ILB. I project him as outside LB kind of like a Msi and IMO out first pick should be at MLB in this years draft and Tripp along with a host of young guys already on the team like McCain, Jordan, Jenkins along with any of the vets we keep will make us very deep at OLB. Turner falls into the Tripp category also lots of fan hype but not field time. What I will add to offer hope is that almost all the draft outside of the fist 2 picks James and Laundry came from small school programs so it normally takes longer for those guys to develop in the NFL.

if Tripp was on offense, I say he's being brought along properly; not feeling like players develop fast enuf under Coyle & Co.. like, barely at all.. we need a new DCo

Why does everyone have such a hardon for Jordan Tripp? I don't get it...

That is exactly it, he does need to add some more size, but he does already have great instincts.

I would disagree

Tripp needs to get bigger and stronger.

Joe Philbin generally prefers to develop rookies slowly. That was what he did in Green Bay - with a lot of success and Green Bay has about the highest % of draft success in the NFL. While some players like Tannehill, Landry and Juwuan James were thrown in the deep end right away because they were ready, most rookies are developed slowly. Some like Jelani Jenkins, Lamar Miller and Dallas Thomas have been given more opportunities after fairly slow NFL starts.
Don't worry about Jordan Tripp. He is going to be very good and I expect that he will be given an opportunity if a LB gets injured or he just does his job on Special Teams and gets more of an opportunity next year.
I was very interested to hear Cam Wake make the comment that the rookie who is the most enquiring and eager to learn from the pros, is Tripp.

 

[DefensiveEnd76]

Maybe Tripp can develop into a poor mans version of former Dolphin John Offerdahl. We can only hope.
