Tillery going to be able to keep his weight up on a Japanese diet?

Better question is... How will he afford to keep weight on in Japan?

Again, it wasn't about the food.
It's about the fact Japan is one of the healthiest nations on earth.

Named 4th Team DL (DT)

 

[Irish#1]

SI also has him in the top 100 players, ranked #60. Coney is ranked #43. The rest to be announced.

Jerry Tillery, DL
It's always fun watching uniquely sized prospects make it work at their respective position. Tillery's one of those players at a nearly 6-7 and 305 pounds on the interior of Notre Dame's defensive line.

Despite having the body type of a block-eating defensive end for a traditional 3-4 base, Tillery's hips are super fluid, and it's with impeccable lateral agility, active hands, and long arms that he wins against more compact guards on a regular basis. Even given his height, Tillery doesn't play that high. He's fundamentally sound stacking and shedding blocks against he run, and he covers ground quickly with long strides after he knifes through gaps to be a disruptive pass-rusher.

I'd actually like to see Tillery dominate more often with his athletic gifts, because it's safe to assume professional inside blockers will be able to gain the leverage advantage on him more frequently than collegiate offensive linemen have thus far during his time with the Fighting Irish. Also, more weight and lower body strength would really round out his game.

In 2017, Tillery had 56 tackles, nine tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks. If he's gotten stronger, I expect a jump in production in 2018, which very well could lead to him being a first-round selection.

Jerry did what he needed to do once Kareem set the table. Kareem was the catalyst on that line last night, make no mistake.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

I contend Hayes was the catalyst. Tillery cleaned up a lot of plays Hayes started.

Anyway it’s fun to argue which of the 3 defensive lineman was the best haha.

Optimism over this DL was proven correct last night. We’ll see how they fair the rest of the way but they were just that last night. 1.8 yds/carry for UM, with 3 sacks and 7 TFL’s. Those are good numbers.

 

[JTLA]

Terry leads (tie) the nation in sacks with 7.

He also leads the nation in being awesome fun to watch and root for.

Incredible that our interior DL is producing sack numbers like this. But credit to our outside guys, they are making the QB very uncomfortable.

Doesn't hurt that we've held a lead for the entire season minus a few minutes.

Either way, he'll be a handful for the interior of every offensive line ND has left on the schedule.

 

[Luckylucci]

Monster game and season so far for Tillery. He’s going to have comparable production numbers with the best in the upcoming draft. It’s be nice to have a first day DL drafted. At the very least, recruits are already taking notice. Elston is making sure of that.

Lea has also been very active with Tillery. OL’s are having a hard time with all the stunts.

 

[dublinirish]

i'll bet money now Ed Oliver beats him to all the awards for DL this post season no matter how well Tillery plays :/

Well why wouldn't he? Oliver beat out Nelson for the Outland trophy last year!

That was the most criminal award snub I've ever seen.

 

[Luckylucci]

So it doesn't clutter the USC thread with that big news potentially taking place. Here are some reads on Tillery and his play, since his significant regression post Stanford.

- From PFF, post week 8. Bye week for ND so 7 weeks of production.

- From PFF on Nov. 19th, post Syracuse.

- Rewatch notes from Jamie at ISD. Thought Tillery was the best DL against USC.

So are people still on the "he should've been an OT" wagon?

 

[BabyIrish]

So are people still on the "he should've been an OT" wagon?

No, because he didn’t get a sack every game he’s apparently regressed since the Stanford game.
