Interesting Interview with Scott Fujita about Gregg Williams

Loved Fujita... still maintain if he's not injured vs. the Jets... but I digress...
Article goes very deep into Williams, bounty-gate and more... and it's a decent article by Grossi to boot.

D'Qwell Jackson once gave Fujita a lot of credit for improving his game not so much in tackle frequencies but where the majority his tackles were being made (up against the point of attack rather than in pursuit further downfield). He mentioned Fug was a really big help in the film room with identifying specific opponents tipping off the play and/or how to read his keys easier. Obviously the 4-3 also played a big role in keeping blockers off Jackson; but I felt like that was the best 1st step instinct I saw from Jackson on Sundays.
As for Gregg Williams, I thought one of his better jobs Coordinating a Defense was in Washington (even though he Coordinated 2 SB teams elsewhere). I'll guarantee, he's a big fan of having the right Safety after he was able to coach a guy like Sean Taylor. Another smart Defensive minded Coach here once felt Eric Turner was a pretty important addition to our defense. If Williams has a strong say in what we'll be adding early - I'll bet it's a Safety at #12.

I agree, but think Hooker & Adams may well be gone top 10, so it may take a trade up to get either, if those would be his guys. Methinks this draft is going to be a real mystery up until it happens.......Stand pat?, trade up?, trade down?, DE?, DT?, S?, QB? We can & will speculate all we want for the next 3 1/2 months, but we really...

IN DORSEY I TRUST -
Seems like this is how it should? play out.
The draft is deep in cb's and dl/de's.
First Round:
#1 Trubisky
#2 Justin Evans, SS
Changed my mind, the safety class is shallow. Hooker, maybe Adams go top ten.
But at twelve.... Justin Evans.

Looking at those highlights of Evans, I see far too many "body block" tackles where Evans ends up standing up after his "tackle". I don't see that happening in the NFL, but we'll see. He hits hard, but we need "wrap 'em up & put 'em down" tacklers on the Browns. We can do far better at #12. Just my opinion.

If the top Safeties are off the board at #12, I think I read Florida has an intriguing Corner that hd 8 INTs with 3 pick 6s that could give Gregg Williams some groinal warming...

I wouldn't hate Garrett - Humphrey either. You NEVER reach just because you had your little heart set on a specific position.
The problem with Justin Evans isn't that he's not a decent player. But he will be on the board with our second pick in the second round.. no reason to reach.
The issue is that Humphrey offers MORE of an addition to our current roster.
[Or Lattimore, or either of the Florida corners]
It also wouldn't hurt to take any of the round 2 corners with our pick at the top of the 3rd if any are still around [ Tankersley, White/LSU, Lewis/UM, Sutton/Tennessee, Thomas/LSU]

I bet williams would love him some vontaze burfict

Pittsburgh still loves them some Joey Porter. The Rooneys took care of that one real fast behind the scenes didn't they? Porter is allowed to coach again. Gee, what a surprise!

You never know where a thread will go, but there's an unusual gravitational pull to Round One of the 2017 draft... and it's growing...
Anyone care for a Foster(s)???
"Foster... it's Alabamian for cheer..."

Nice! Now THAT is how you recruit for a first round camp.
Way back in 98, Zombo was pouring Guinness Beer in Camp Couch while Hoorta was offering up his Orange stuff alternatives via cup or funnel. Poor Atenears was trying to convince anyone that would listen to "just say no!"

Do you value skill or talent? There's your question with Evans. He is not a polished tackler. BUT you'd be hard pressed to find a guy with a meaner streak on the field and we 100% need some of that.
But will he humble himself and give up the big hits at times in favor of sure tackles? If the answer's no, he's not worth anything higher than a 3rd rounder, if that. If it's yes, he's just as good as Adams.
