How do you throw against that?
Let’s see if we handle that tonightWhen opposing QBs have all day to throw, somebody will get open.
Seahawks were 8th in sacks last year. We must've played a bunch of Russell Wilsons that held on to the ball. And the pass rush should improve this year.When opposing QBs have all day to throw, somebody will get open.

Seemed like Nwosu must've had all 44 sacks, I think that was the team number. Dude was freakin' amazing! But everyone else sucked a lot, maybe 10 sacks were Nwosu and the other 34 were other dudes getting cleanup sacks created by Nwosu?Pretty crazy how they could be 8th in sacks and still be so bad. Classic example of when stats dont tell the story.
I saw much of the same stuff. I'm confident most of that can be coached out.After watching the OP's video, I am a little worried.
I saw some excellent tackling, but I also saw a lot of things that would be penalized in today's NFL -- especially against the Hawks. I'm really hoping I'm wrong.
These are some of the things that I could see the refs throwing a flag for:
-Very first clip is a defenseless player penalty
-:56 Taunting
-1:08 Pass Interference
-1:26 ticky-tack Pass Interference
-2:40 ticky-tack Pass Interference
-2:56 ticky-tack Unnecessary Roughness
Maybe I've just become too jaded by bullshit penalties by the refs these past few years, but I'm really hoping I'm just being paranoid and someone talks me off the ledge. I don't hate the pick, and this is not me complaining; I'm just a little worried.
I was just thinking the same. He can bring the juice and play violent, but he’s playing in the NFL now and not sure if it’s best to have that same style of play.Love for the game, hitting and style of play? Sure.
But Witherspoon is 15 lbs lighter, and that's a LOT for a defensive back/safety.
I love this pick the more I see tape, but my only reservation is like Adams, secondary players who hit and play as violent as Witherspoon have a short shelf life.
Look no further than our own LOB and Adams. Earl, Kam, Adams and Sherm all broke down before their time due to the violence in which they played.
Exactly. The thought that immediately came to my mind when I originally watched the vid was this: "Wow, they allow way more stuff in college -- makes the NFL look like an over-regulated pansy league."After watching the OP's video, I am a little worried.
