Post Game analysis:
Hegarty looked excellent minus one bad play. Nice hand contact and arm extension on the DLine.
Tuitt- I think he's going to be special, BUT, he plays WAY TO HIGH. He has alot of power and strength, but that will level out on the next level. He has a great ability to engage and shed the blocker (which is perfect for the 3-4 scheme btw). With some good coaching, he could be really really special.
GAIII- I feel for the kid.. He got put into a bad situation too many times. He is an athlete though and is still a special player for us.
Lynch- This kid is a stud!! His first move just puts him in a better situation on every single play. I loved the Jason Taylor analogy that they gave him. WE NEED TO GET THIS KID BACK!!!!
Williams- He is the perfect mold for an OLB in the 3-4. His speed is amazing. He needs to get stronger, but this kid gets the training/coaching, and he will be Manti'esque for this team on the outside!
All in all it was apparent that the EAST DLINE just manhandled the WEST all-day, especially in the second half. We have the opportunity to land the playmakers that the EAST DLINE represented.
These next couple weeks are going to fun to watch play out, and stressful at the same time. IF we pull them all in, this would be the greatest class I have ever seen ND pull in (in my life). Hopefully these kids will sit and think about what they could do collectively as a unit. If they look at it that way, instead of individually, I think we have a great shot.
C'MON BK, reel these boys home!!!
