Get on board while you can FF Nerds. He will win you your league if you draft defensive players...if you don't Hawks D/STs going to win you your league next year. 15+ sacks...coming your way.

Can't we just rename this the Official Seattle Fans Trying to Convince Themselves Irvin Isn't a Bust thread?

C'mon. He's a lock for 22+

People that haven't seen him play and going off of talking heads are in for a rude awakening. Bruce Irvin can play and is in the same area as Dwight Freeney with his ability to get to the QB. The NYJ, Ravens, 49ers were going to take Irvin if he was available.

I'd never seen him play a snap until they showed some highlights after the pick last night. Freeney was exactly who I thought of when I saw them. Dude absolutely explodes off the snap.

 

[Incogneto]

High end: JPP or Freeny.

Low end: a 3rd down passing LB.

 

[Iron_Far]

Lock for 10+ sacks in his rookie year.

 

[Yenrub]

What position did he play at West Virginia?

What defensive system did they run at West Virginia?

What will he play for the Seahawks?

Bruce Irvin 6'3 24540 time=4.5Short Shuttle=4.033 cone=6.70Broad Jump=10'3just for comparison vs all WR's that tested at the combine.Would've finished #2 in 3 cone drill at the combine(behind Junior Hemmingway), #3 in short shuttle(behind Hemminway and Eric Page) and 14th in 40 yard dash.

OLB3-44-3 defensive end

 

[fridayfrenzy]

What will he play for the Seahawks?

The "Leo". The same position Clay Mathews played at USC under Carroll. He will be rushing the passer 85% of the time, and dropping back in coverage 15%.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

He’s a 240-lb outside ‘backer who’s a good pass rusher, but does NOTHING else well, nor does he show any willingness to. He doesn’t cover or play the run well, and refuses to play special teams. Oh, and he’s been arrested a couple of times and dropped out of High School back in the day.

So, he’s basically a smaller Kam Wimbley with way bigger character issues.

Good luck with that Seattle. OUCH!

He will play Elephant End opposit Red Bryant who is the run stopping DE. He fits perfectly with what they need...a pass rusher.

Sounds more like Aldon Smith to me.

Bruce Irvin = Von Miller.

Career?

I've seen him make plenty of other plays behind the LOS, hustle downfield to make plays, and has a good motor.His character issues all stem from before the age of 18(that i'm aware of)...cut him some slack...it's not like he broke alcoholic school rules multiple times(Michael Floyd).

For a guy that hasn't even played 4-3 DE all that long, his moves to split inside double teams for a few sacks in that highlight reel were especially impressive.This isn't your average speed guy that can 'only' beat tackles outside for sacks.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I also like that he looks like a Klingon.

I like his Reggie White "hump" move...impressive for a guy that shouldn't be that strong. But he seems able to toss OT's off balance and duck inside to get to the QB.

Its tradition with ITS. Wouldn't be the NFL draft without it.

I never once heard this said in Baltimore. Where did this nugget of info come from? Sounds like a bunch of spin out of Seattle.

Per CBS Sports' Rob Rang, the 49ers, Jets, and Ravens all would have taken Bruce Irvin in the first round had he made it to their pick.

I heard that there were as many as seven teams that were considering him in the first.

I never heard of Rob Rang. So I just looked him up online. Here's part of his bio :

Rob Rang always had a fascination for football. Perhaps because he grew up a Seattle Seahawks fan ... he's typically spending time with his family and friends in the outdoors of the Pacific Northwest

I don't know if this guy is a legit draft expert or not, but I can tell you he has no idea who the Ravens were planning to take with their pick. None of the local beat writers know, so how does someone nobody from Seattle know? He's obviously getting spun by the Seahawks.

I know you are The_Man and all, and that of course anyone you have not heard of is a nobody. But I think Rang has more credibility than you assume here...

 

[Devine Intervention]

obviously a big WV fan here, but this guys is a beast. The thing with him is they only used him to rush the passer and that's really all your gonna get out of him. But they say he might be the best pass rusher in the draft so if he stays out of trouble I think he's a stud. JPP is a great comparison of the athletic freak this guy is. JPP has his head on straight and is willing to get better. Hopefully Irvin learns that too.

 

[scrumptrulescent]

I'd be rooting hard for the kid to make so many look bad, including Gruden (who I cannot stand) who ripped the pick, but his coach is such a tool that I can't.

So it could be true. Don't discount and BS us when we're reporting information. It's not like I made it up. Having Bruce Irvin opposite Suggs would be nasty.

Per John Clayton - 24 teams had Bruce Irvin in their top 15.

John Clayton probably isn't credible enough

I looked into it further and it was a fake John Clayton twitter account.

 

[eakfootball]

You would say he was an overdrafted scrub if he wasn't a Seahawk. You see to ignore the faults of anybody who goes to Seattle.

 

[Cold Dead Hands]

What position did he play at West Virginia?What defensive system did they run at West Virginia?What will he play for the Seahawks?

OLB3-44-3 defensive end

Little off. He was a DE, WVU ran a 3-3-5 stack. He never was coached on how to pass rush as it was not a priority in the 3-3-5 for whatever reason. He ran contain at WVU and still racked up sacks.

Lol no

 

[ImTheScientist]

He is currently on pace for 14.5 sacks. Doesn't seem like he was a "reach" at this point.

 

[Nucker101]

He was a great pick by the Seahawks. Overall, they had a great draft but Irvin looks like a future pro-bowler.

 

[Soulfly3]

Why people argue with Science, is beyond me.
