so brehs...ive been out the loop last few wks
how did Solomon Thomas pass Jonathan allen?!

He was always better. Allen just benefited from that Alabama bump that all Bama players get early in the draft process cause it's usually college football people doing those early mock drafts. It ain't till the combine that NFL people start looking these dudes closely. And once the NFL evalutors started looking Allen started falling.

Jonathan Allen was never a top 5-10 player in this class.

And I had Solomon Thomas as my #2 overall prospect since January when I saw what he did in the bowl game.

Johnathon Allen shouldn't be judge for his combine, yu watched him at Bama he looked pretty athletic to me

Not to me. I always thought he looked slow and unathletic at Bama. That's why I was never high on him.

I actually think his teammate Da'Ron Payne was more athletic and the best pro prospect on that Alabama d-line last year.

You didn't prove anything with this video. Most of those plays were quick plays to right to help out Robinson. Dude even had a couple penalties in the video you posted smh
Lol. Did any auburn player make a play against him? Is that not the goal? Alright then thanks

college ain't nfl breh
We played against Dline's with NFL talent damn near every week. He wasn't going up against cupcakes like those other OT in this draft.

So the defense main goal is to make a play against Robinson? :why:

:dahell: You talking about
Did I say that?

Not sure what's so hard to follow. Robinson didn't allow whichever DE/DT he was blocking to make any plays. Is it not the goal of the DE/DT he is blocking to do something against him every play?

No the goal is to contain the edge and push everything inside

there was a game of Justin Britt shutting down Clowney too. he didn't even make it at rt. he's developed into a good center though

We had 200 rush yards and 300 pass yards so I'm guessing neither happened? Thanks once again..

Cool, Britt isn't/wasn't as good as Cam.
