Montana's Anderson looking good.

[mthoopsfan]

"He just pulverizes blockers,” Jeremiah said on Saturday’s broadcast as Andersen ran his first 40. “He is outstanding in coverage. You saw the straight line speed there. You’ll see him once he changes directions in the field drills. He’s outstanding in that area as well.”

Who agrees with this, see above? I thought those were his weaknesses. Suddenly he runs a great 40, and all of his weaknesses disappear (except for short arms).

It looks like he didn't run the shuttles, with change of directions. I thought some analysts had said he was slow to change direction? Why didn't he run the shuttles?

If only these guys knew what they were talking about am I right?

the second guy screaming in this video said andersen was voted the best defensive player in the fcs? shows just how much these guys are blathering for a salary of some sort, as entertainers, not people to be taken seriously.

Kiper also picked Ryan Leaf over Peyton Manning.

 

[mthoopsfan]

Maybe those 2 jokers should talk to some of the other coaches in the Big Sky. Day one starter in NFL. Ha.

...kiper was right picking leaf...
...had he gone anywhere but san diego...
...worst management then..now..forseeable future...
...in my humble opinion..and for the sake of arguement...

... :shock: ...

It all depends where he goes and their defensive scheme. Is it likely..no. Is it possible..yes. I would bet that he will be a starter at some time. And pretty damn good one. Those NFL coaches know how to use speed and athletic players. He has only played two seasons at LB. But I see his first year or two as a special teams stud that will get more playing time as seasons progress. In a 17 game schedule there are so many injuries that those second group guys will get their shot. Things he will be good at are rushing the passer and coverage (especially TE's) . The issue right away will be getting off blocks when they run right at him. And he can improve that because he is a great athlete and he is smart. His upside is huge.

He was awarded national defensive player of the year by at least two outlets.

Shhhhh don’t you know he’ll be lucky to hand out waters during timeouts?

Yeah, right! Get real. He’s a day one HOFer. Most experts say they haven’t seen a prospect like Troy since Lawrence Taylor. The difference is, Troy has Bo Jackson athleticism. If you think any differently, then it means you’re just rooting against this Montana Tough kid. He’s from Dillon, you know?

Bet?

Yes, let's bet on what the Griz coaches would say. Let's bet on how many bad plays by TA showed up on the tape of the game with the Cats. Most any Griz insider can probably back me up on this.

Also, let's bet $100 on whether he's a Day 1 starter in the NFL.

First part is dumb. Second part I’m in. Couple conditions - Injury voids the bet. Special teams counts.

 

[garizzalies]

For the posters on here that were laughing about us telling you TA might go in the 2nd round or early 3rd.....

You low down dirty SOB. What a lying POS.
This A-hole never said “might”.
He got called out because he said “3rd round at the latest…no way he gets out of the third unless something crazy”. But he did not provide a link.
Fuck-O-dear we just covered this like 7 pages ago in this very thread.
You JAs are getting desperate. Like it’s dawning on you that the last glimmer of hope just loaded the dodge flatbed and hit the bricks.
And the inevitable recede from the high water mark is turning you all into PAB’s.
In fact, from now on around here, “TA” doesn’t mean Tights/Ass or Troy Anderson—it’s “trick ass”.
Bunch of TA groupies

First part isn't dumb. It's exactly what I said, and you said "bet".

Sorry, ST doesn't count. Of course, he will be on ST on day 1. Do you think the talking heads saying "day 1 starter" were talking about ST? Of course, they weren't.

You have a big mouth, but are afraid to back it up. Remember you asked me for a bet. I didn't ask you.

 

[argh!]

is talking about how impressed everyone is going to be with mellot's 40 in the combine next year, the number of articles written about how great his performance is while wearing a t-shirt and shorts, etc, allowed in this thread? or is it too early?

Too early. Let’s let TA get his time at the podium on day 1 and then we can start talking about Mellot….

Day One?!

This is more like it! Only a week ago the consensus over here was 5th or 6th round but UDFA was most likely. Despite nothing on the interwebs suggesting this would be the case you all stuck to your guns!

For what it’s worth, I think you’re over-selling him now. I still think the 3rd round is most likely but would be pleasantly surprised if he goes earlier.

i think he meant "one day", but lost interest mid-sentence.

Did 2 or 3 Griz fans say 5th or 6th round? Most of the discussion is about whether he's a Day 1 starter, or second round, as multiple people were saying.

 

[poorgriz]

Skimmed through some of the earlier posts in this thread... LOTS of people not giving TA nearly enough credit. Here's a couple gems from PR:

"No chance he's a 2nd round pick"
"he doesn't have great speed." :lol:

Are you saying he will be a 2d round pick?

How about Day 1 starter? $100 bet on that?

Yup, he showed he had great speed. I guess that's why he was able to cover up so many of his deficiencies in taking on blockers and taking bad angles.
