I just want them to be the worst team in the DIVISION.

There is no doubt that Dexter is a monster run defender.

Was just there back in May for like my 10th time. Need to hit up Hokkaido as only place I havent seeh much. You should look into Akiya homes as if you willinh yo live outside the city they have homes for sale dirt cheap as with the aging population a lot of homes in the country side are being abandoned. You still get a few places here and there that dont like foreigners but for most part I have never had any issues as I am black as well.

I saw this a bit ago. Apologies for the shitty link, I couldn't find a better YT link.
Scroll down to the middle, watch the video starting at 1:15.
Florida Coach Admits Defensive Scheme Hindered Gervon Dexter
Gervon Dexter wasn't overly productive in college. His own coach admits scheming had a lot to do with that.www-sportsmockery-com.cdn.ampproject.org
It explains a lot. That was recently coached into him and probably a degree of muscle memory there. Good news is that can likely be coached out, and I believe he has all the physical traits to be a very good NFL DT.
Edit - Better, longer interview
Edit 2 - That second one is pretty good if you haven't seen it and worth a watch.
While this is some of it he may also in fact not be a fast twitch athlete. You can't coach Aaron Donald's get off. In any event his game is more like Buckner's anyway and more about strength. He just needs to get fast enough to maximize that strength but probably never going go have great get off.

Fair enough. Looking forward to seeing him develop. He may never be Tommie Harris, but excited about him regardless.

I don't think the burst is even comparable when talking about healthy Tommie. IMHO. And I looooved Hicks.

There was a play in 2005 where healthy tommie came in like 90 degrees horizontally on a run protection tackle which was when i got a feeling we might make a sb if not that year, the next year — with a healthy grossman lol. I miss healthy tommie

That 2005 defense was so good.

Mostly. Lovie's teams beat the teams they were supposed to. They rarely beat the good teams.

While that may be true, they were one of the most cohesive defenses we have seen between then and now. They came in 2nd in defense by yards allowed because we sat starters against the vikings. If we are going to throw rankings around, that is a thing. And Tommie was poised truly to be generational IMO until he got injured in 2006. That was the context of this discussion

Is Pickens playing at all? Haven’t heard anything about him.

Agree. Absolutely love Hicks but Tommie was an absolute beast.
