HA that's a little better and I like sunshine for Blaine because he does look like the QB from Remember the Titans

It was actually a VERY VERY VERY HAND AND LONG DECISION between SUNSHINE and JOHNNY UTAH!!

Not Johnny Utah from Point Break (Original).. .

Johnny Utah from Point Break (REMAKE).. the DUMBEST movie I ever saw since Richard Geer's THE POWER !!!

Lol what a horrible movie for real (remake)! And yes I can see it but sunshine is much better

If only
Aaron Donald is more pure DT don't y'all think?
From what I see of this guy I like him and certainly various sites seem high on him, so why did he drop so low in the draft?

He's not really am every down player. Excels at single gap penetration.
So if he is weighing in at 270 LBs , will he be used as an edge rusher in nickel packages, and at OLB in the 3-4? ...270 LBs isn't exactly ideal weight for a 3-4 DE

but hopefully O'Neil finds ways to get him on the field to put pressure on the QB
Can't wait to see what he can do

All positions...at NT, DE and on the edge. He won't be your wide-body traditional 2-gap base DL. He'll be used in various packages to attack gaps between the C & G and G & T and then rush off the edge. It should work great b/c most of the game OL will be facing our two-gap DL in AA/Dorsey/Buckner/Purcell/Dial and they get used to facing power...then you bring in Blair and as you set your feet to brace for power, he's already blown by you and is in the backfield.

Like Aldon, I saw him mainly playing nickel DE the first year. It sounds like they will move him inside also.
I still think they might put him at OLB in future years.

I was thinking the Blair Blitz Project as a name.
Let's assume that Blair makes the 53 (he looks to have a better than even chance at this point). What percentage of games do people think he'll be active vs. inactive (also assuming Armstead, Dial, Buckner, Dorsey, Carradine, and Purcell are also on the squad)?

For the record, I don't think he'll be activated every week.

That looks like a strong group there. He may start off inactive but as the season progresses I imagine he will have his chance.
