Pidge Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 That's plenty fast enough a strong safety.200 pounds screams "free" rather than "strong" to meYeah, good point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentjett Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 This guy looks like he could be a steal, he has football instincts and that can carry a player pretty far. John Lynch's 40 time was timed at 4.64 and he turn out to be pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadraftnick Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Lynch was one of my guys that I realy liked for valueHe is a Marvin kind of guy, he tears it up on special teams.I put this guys u-tube up he has instinctsHe is one of best character guys in the draft- he is married into the Billy Grahm family or some famous preachervalue -value valuemy question is are the Bengals ever going to adress RB,DE,and CB?It sure as hell would be nice to have a pass rush for a change,by a change I mean for the 1st time in what 20 years?

ArmyBengal Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I like watching videos for the most part, but it wouldn't seem to difficult to put up a video of all your best plays. I hate when they show the same play over and over, but from different angles, like it was not the same play...WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Lynch has a 4.55 time actually, not that it's "that" much of a difference.He seems to read QB's well is another Kilmer/KK type I guess. Definitely a FS prospect, but wouldn't expose him there any time soon in the NFL. Better hope White and Duke stay healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Lynch should make an immediate impact on teams, and seems to have a special knack for blocking kicks. If he develops into something more, great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidge Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Seems like he plays strong a fair amount *glares at TJ* Can play both well it seems. No wonder marvin took him.Looks like an intelligent player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green 66 Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I like this pick as well, i thought he had some good skills from the videos and the Michigan game. Also the knock that he is overly agressive is kinda funny isnt that something you want in a safety rather than overly conservative? If he gamble and makes plays and brings the wood with the hits im happy.Mike GreenWaynesville Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 If we didn't have so many other safeties on the roster, I'd like this pick a lot better.Dammit, there is a LOT to like about this guy...character, production, high profile big plays, special teams ace, etc etc etcI WANT this guy to succeed. Despite the glut at safety, and not disparaging any of the other S we have, but I really, really hope this guy makes it as the 5th safety.

I agree though. Most likely to see more time at free safety if he makes it onto the depth chart which, like you, I hope he can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 If we didn't have so many other safeties on the roster, I'd like this pick a lot better.Well, we have a lot of safeties on the roster but quality is suspect. Busing is a converted LB who IIRC didn't even make the final roster last year but got brought back after all the injuries. Kilmer is a converted wideout who spent all last season on IR. Hebert is a CFL player best known as a special teamer, and has character issues. Indiana Jones is a special teamer. White is a small-college guy still trying to get up to speed. Madieu's gone, and Dexter's starting to get rather expensive for a guy who is being pushed by a second-year man, Ndukwe, and struggles to stay healthy every year.

HoosierCat Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 If quality is the issue, I can't see this pick being an improvement over what we already have...My point is that at least he's an actual safety who, while from a small college, has shown the ability come up big in big games. That's a good thing, I think, when you've got a pileup of teamers and converted players at the position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pidge Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Smart safety. He might prove to be the pick of this draft in a few years if he's got the physical attributes to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAPPYJAQ Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 If you don't think this guy is a STEAL......you are BLIND! If you don't think that he will be starting by at LEAST year 3, think again. He has incredible ball skills. You really can't teach those. I think over 20 Int's, numerous defects and even 6 blocked kicks collegiately. If he can learn better tackling technique, he will be a star and instant starter on Special Teams in year 1. The difference between him and the Safties on the team after Nduke, Jackson and White is that he can pass cover. He will be on the dime unit in year 1, as well. By all accounts, he is a Teams demon. Great pick here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
