Most great players force opportunity to happen because they are great. When a chance come to play they stand out and make the Coaches have to let them stay on the field because of their play.
Yep, take the choice out of the coaches hands by stellar play on the field. Unfortunately, sometimes some coaches are the last to recongnize talent of said individuals. Some coaches are “size queens” and you see them go with size over talent or athleticism due to “conventional thinking” or other biases (see a player’s reputation) over a more talented but maybe smaller in stature player.chris98251":amfud9bp said:Most great players force opportunity to happen because they are great.

I agree with you but I don't think the coaches have a chance to recognize so they look at college ball as the players opportunity. In today's NFL it's 'win now, cuz if you haven't shown it yet I don't have time to sit around and wait for it'.Sports Hernia":1ga1gy48 said:Yep, take the choice out of the coaches hands by stellar play on the field.

You see it all of the time in highschool sports, even baseball. If said player keeps playing at a high level The coaches usually figure it out but sometimes it takes half a season to do so.
Call me crazy but I’d take athleticism and high sports IQ over size any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
Many coaches missed on Jose Altuve and Russell Wilson, 2 of the best at their sports.

Well, he was great at racking up late hit and roughing the passer penalties.
Or could be that he likes to travel and is a journeyman at heart.NINEster":225ieox0 said:Playing for 3 teams in one year indicates to me the guy is seen as having talent and just in need of the right situation.
They did that because they didn't have anything remotely close to a Leo on the roster, and he was available. They added Attaochu, and are going to give Eli Harold a chance to play on the end during nickle situations, but basically, all their pass rushers were interior pass rushers, so they took a flier on him.Trrrroy":12g175s8 said:NINEster":12g175s8 said:Playing for 3 teams in one year indicates to me the guy is seen as having talent and just in need of the right situation.
He's been in two of the best situations in the NFL, working with two of the best defensive minds in the NFL. I don't think situation has been his issue. I don't think coaches believe that either. Especially the 49ers, who signed him to play in a system he already was mediocre in.
