This guy is a Defensive Tackle

Suh had 12 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, and 1 quarterback hurry against TEXAS

Suh leads his team with 82 tackles, 23 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, 1 interception, 10 passes broken up, 24 quarterback hurries, 1 forced fumble, and 3 blocked kicks. Suh has accomplished this despite often being double and triple-teamed by opposing offensive lines.

This guy is going to be a beast in the NFL

Hes 64 300 pounds

He reminds me alot of Kevin Williams of the Vikings

How sad is it that what I look forward to most is drafting guys?

Sigh...

Watch him tackle James Davis. A lot.

Wishful thinking i know..but im trying to keep some positives going!!!!

Hah.

Ndamukong Suh, 6-4/305

Defensive Tackle Nebraska

Ndamukong Suh Scouting Report

By Matt McGuire

Strengths:

Very big frame

Outstanding muscle definition

Good lower body strength

Elite junior year production

Very active; above average motor

Nice second effort

Good agility

Takes on multiple blockers; run clogger

Highly athletic

Grades out well in chase (pursuit) tackling

Disengages from linemen to make tackles

Powerful

Collapses pocket

Backfield penetrator

Good instincts

Explosive off snap

Great leadership and reportedly solid work ethic

Solid all-around skill set

Good amount of upside

Versatile; can play 1-, 3-, and 5-techniques.

Weaknesses:

Occasionally gets too high in stance; leads to being washed

Leverage technique could be more consistent

Could develop more of a pass-rush repertoire

Multiple knee injuries and surgeries

One-year wonder?

Summary: Suh is an outstanding prospect for the 2010 NFL Draft class because there is so much to like about him. He can play in multiple schemes, which NFL general managers love. His durability could end up being a huge problem dependent on doctors' reviews at NFL Combine like Glenn Dorsey. If he can stay healthy and keep the production up as a senior, he should be a first-round lock. Name pronounced IN-DOM-AH-KEN SOO. "Ndamukong" means "House of Spears" in a Cameroon language.

Player Comparison: Richard Seymour. Seymour and Suh have that great length, explosiveness, and strength that you want in a defensive tackle with the ability to play various schemes.

Thanks BernietheKid! Great stuff!

They were really talking this kid up on the local sports radio show here in Nashville. Another stud who's name I did not catch is supposed to be a LBer for the Arizona State Sun Devils. Allegedly not just good but they think he's gonna be the closest thing to a Ray Lewis type of enforcer as it will probably ever get. That might be a little much to live up to but it at least it means he's turning heads and probably clearing heads on a weekly basis. Of course I don't have his name. I'll see if I can get it sometime soon and post up a new thread about him.

Suh's a better projection to 3-4 end because of his great combination of strength, tenacity, and athleticism. But if we were looking for an explosive one-gap penetrator, I'd probably take McCoy over Suh.

McCoy probably will have more career sacks; Suh will clog more running lanes.

Yes i watched the Texas game (had to turn it from the buckeye cluster F)

he looked solid...i wouldnt complian..id prefer SUH as you mentioned blowing up the run...id prefer to get a fast athletic quarterback killa on the opposite side of WImbley in addition to SUH...good luck right?

Sounds like we could use both!

Gerald McCoy was great last week against Texas: he had two tackles for loss, a sack, and five quarterback hurries. He disappeared against Miami and Baylor, but he's an elite prospect in his own right. Very Warren Sapp-ish.

Didn't you watch that video? Suh leads Nebraska in passes broken up. Put him at corner, theres your big hitter.

By the way, can I get my normal privileges back? Pretty sure I lost PM's from Heck and Riff because someone decided to restrict my account.

i do not feel as strong about Mccoy DE (Oklahoma) not mccoy QB (texas)...

ALO..you think they draft QB in round 2? if so who do you project still hanging around

nmills said:

Some possibilities:

• Joe Haden, Florida (5'11", 190 lbs.)*
• Brandon Ghee, Wake Forest (6'0", 190 lbs.)
• Perrish Cox, Oklahoma State (6'0", 198 lbs.)
• Kareem Jackson, Alabama (5'11", 192 lbs.)*
• Donovan Warren, Michigan (6'0", 185 lbs.)*
• Jerome Murphy, South Florida (6'1", 185 lbs.)
• Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, Indiana (PA) (6'1", 195 lbs.)
• Patrick Robinson, Florida State (5'11", 194 lbs.)

Also, there are smaller corners who will get drafted high: guys like Kentucky's Trevard Lindley (5'11", 180 lbs.) and Cal's Syd'Quan Thompson (5'9", 191 lbs.). Not sure either one's a good fit for what we need: though Lindley does have borderline shutdown corner potential, he isn't a consistent tackler.

Eric Berry, Tennessee and Taylor Mays of USC are top DBs, but they may be safeties.

I want this dude on the Browns!!

@lumbergh said:

Here's something of an explanation:

By the end of his junior year, Suh was getting scholarship offers from several Division I schools, including Oregon and Oregon State. After attending the Stanford Combine the summer before his senior year, he had offers from the entire Pacific-10 Conference, as well as Miami, Mississippi State and Nebraska.

One of the primary reasons he chose Nebraska was because of its highly regarded engineering program and the focus the athletic department has on academics for its student-athletes. In December, Suh will graduate with a bachelor's degree in construction management, completing the five-year program in four and a half.

Should football not work out, Suh could easily fall back on a number of career options, including taking over his father's equipment business in Portland.

Your better players will maintain their dominance the whole season.

and also I don't think the Browns will pick in the top 5.

I know a lot of you guys are wishing for the "franchise" QB, but a disruptive/dominant lineman can have a big effect on a game even if there aren't stats to show it. If Suh or another of his caliber are available...go for it. A strong D and O line can go a long long way towards success, once you've got that you can do pretty good with any decent QB, then focus on finding THE guy.

@restinpeace said:

Though, I would take McCoy right now because Coleman/(forgot his name from the jets) sorta have the "Suh" role down. McCoy could replace Smith and give the weakside a strong boost of athleticism we badly need. McCoy also plays better in space than Suh.

Here's a scouting report on McCoy:

Gerald McCoy, 6-4/295 Defensive Tackle Oklahoma

Gerald McCoy Scouting Report

By Matt McGuire

Strengths:

Impressive size

Cut athlete with good muscle definition

Elite-level athleticism

Explosive off snap

Impressive instincts

Shows ability to disengage quickly

Great lateral agility

Grades out highly with chase tackles

Good vision; finds ballcarrier

Strong; active hands

Penetrates well; knows how to get under a lineman

Displays good pad level

Nice speed; plays fast

Wide pass rush repertoire

Shows good balance and coordination; flexible athlete

Quick hips

Adequate upper body strength

Very good motor and stamina

Durable

Great intangibles and work ethic

Prototype three-technique

Weaknesses:

Lacks some bulk to be a two-gap defensive tackle

Not a fit for every scheme

Not an elite run defender

Struggles against massive offensive linemen against run

Not overly powerful

Summary: McCoy is an amazing prospect and simply great at what he is - a three technique. He isn't going to be Vince Wilfork, and 3-4 teams won't target him. He will fit most 4-3 schemes looking for an elite pass rusher and someone who can disrupt opponents' backfields. He has elite intangibles and should be a definite top-10 pick. McCoy is my No. 1 defensive tackle for the 2010 NFL Draft.

Player Comparison: Kevin Williams. Williams is one of the elite defensive tackles in the NFL with his athleticism, instincts and pass-rush ability.

@solon16 said:

LOL. We don't. Coleman and Smith are 2 down lineman. Mosley(hey, I remember his name!!) and Williams(vastly overpaid Williams) are 3rd down lineman.

Listen, we need a fulltime starter at least at one of the DE spots. While it may not happen, it is a need and if somebody like McCoy would drop to the 7-8 spots in the draft(I doubt Sah does), you would be nuts to pass on him.
