    Closing out the year

    It is probably the last game for junior QBs Jake locker and Jimmy Claussen. Both played outstanding in what could be there last collegiate games. Both totaling over 300 yards and 5 total TDs. It was arguably Jake Lockers best game of his career after coming in with only 5 games with completion percentage over 60 he completed 82.6 percent of his passe against 19th ranked Cal. He also ended his 6 game interception streak. Jimmy Claussen also played well throwing a career high 5 TDs and closing out an excellent season.

    The other guy in the top 3 Suh in his second to last game was all over Colt McCoy. Just a modest game with 12 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and 3 billion pressures. Modest!!!! ya right He could have been playing FB for Texas because he was in their backfield all day. It was like a game of tag because he was chasing Colt McCoy every play. At points he just looked like a 300 pound MLB. It was like he was gorilla and Colt McCoy and the whole Texas line where just rag dolls. He is involved in every tackle with 15 yards of the line of scrimmage. He took my Jimmy Claussen Bandwagon ripped the wheels off and beat all the passengers with the wheels. Just dominant all day long. If the Rams aren't picking first they aren't getting him!!!!

    DeVaney and Spags will have an extremely tough decision coming

    Re: Closing out the year

    I have to agree Suh couldnt have played a better game. It was amazing to see this man destroy the o-line all day. We better pick this guy first, There will be a qb in the second but we cant miss this guy.

      Where's the Love for Colt?
      by eric2810
      24/40, for 340 yards passing yards, 60% Completion, 4 TD's
      18 att for 175 yards rushing. 1 TD

      Those were Colt McCoy's stat's for his Thanksgiving Day performance. He's been playing consistent this season, racking up 3,328 yards passing with 27 TD's thrown. Mentally, I believe Colt could be the best Pro ready Quarterback. Even despite playing in a spread offense. The guy is accurate, mobile, and finds ways to win. Sure he may not be considered at Top 5 prospect, but if we can draft him somehow, I can see him being more productive for us than guys like Locker, Bradford, or Clausen. I'd rather see us draft BPA with a our first round pick, and either move up or wait for McCoy at the top of the 2nd. A scenario as such would give us two early solid picks to build upon for the future.

      DTs Suh, McCoy have ability to go No. 1 in draft

      DTs Suh, McCoy have ability to go No. 1 in draftFeb. 27, 2010

      Tell Chad your opinion!

      INDIANAPOLIS -- It's rare that a pair of defensive tackles get as much attention at the combine as the elite quarterbacks. Then again, Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh and Oklahoma's Gerald McCoy are rare talents.

      Suh and McCoy are likely rated higher on many teams' boards than quarterbacks Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) and Jimmy Clausen (Notre Dame), a rarity in today's offense-happy NFL.

      The St. Louis Rams and Detroit Lions have the top two picks, and could use McCoy and Suh on their porous defenses. But two questions remain:

      Who is better? And is either worth taking in the top two selections?

      Neither question is easily answered. Suh said on Saturday that he would be happy for his "good friend" McCoy if he went No. 1. But he added that he'd "definitely be disappointed with myself not getting it. I'm a competitor. I want to be No. 1. So that's what I'm going to strive for."

      That attitude is just one of the reason teams like his game. But despite Suh finishing fourth in the Heisman voting (85 tackles, 24 for loss, 12 sacks) while riding the wave of a dominant performance against Texas in the Big 12 Championship Game, McCoy will be ranked higher on some boards because of his ability to explode into the backfield as a three-technique. His quick first step especially works well in a one-gap system where he is full-go from the snap.

      Because he redshirted, McCoy could have entered the draft after the 2008 season and been a first-round pick. But there was little doubt after an All-American junior year (15.5 tackles for loss, six sacks) that he would take his game to the NFL. After McCoy made his decision to leave school early, Sooners head coach Bob Stoops said: "I've never been associated with a young man who was any more impressive than Gerald." That's pretty high praise, even coming from a head coach.

      Suh can play any position on the line but is not quite as explosive off the snap. His strength and motor allow him to be extremely effective pressuring the passer (he had 26 quarterback hurries along with those 12 sacks), although there is some concern that NFL interior linemen won't give in as easily as college linemen did to his bull rush. Still, his exceptional stamina, manhandling of opponents using strong, quick hands that added to his length and closing speed make him a likely star in the NFL.

      Suh said Oklahoma's scheme allowed McCoy to display his explosiveness more than Bo Pelini's scheme at Nebraska. The hesitation off the snap could very well be indicative of his need to handle multiple responsibilities in the Huskers defense.

      "We played two different defenses, in my opinion. His defense was more or less, he had the freedom to...

      Colt McCoy?
      by Battering_RAMS
      If we take Suh #1 what do you think the chance of us taking McCoy at #33? How would you feel about him being our future qb? I know little about him and havent seen much of his play.

      How does suh even compare with mccoy
      by TakeSuh
      here suh 85 tackles 24 tfl 12 sacks 10 passes blocked 26 qb hurries 3 blocked kicks
      mccoy 34 tackles 11.5 tfl 6 sacks 2 passes blocked 7 qb hurries 0 blocked kicks
      NOW SOME PEOPLE BRING UP THAT MCCOY HAD MORE TALENT AROUND HIM........ lets compare the talent on both teams
      nebraska:Number one in the nation in scoring defense
      1 pass efficency defense 17 in total pass defense 7th in total defense 5th in rush defense
      Oklahoma is all above the 40s in thesw catagories.

      This just makes Suhs stats even better. Lets not forget they played in the same conference and agianst each other (nebraska won 10-3)

      Texas: Mccoy 3 tackles one sack, Suh 12 tackles 7 for loss 23 qb hurries, 4.5 sacks (other d tackle for crick, the other d tackle for nebraska, set the record for 5 sacks in one game agianst baylor)

      kansas st:mccoy 1 tackle no sacks
      suh 9 tackles one sack 4 qb hurries 2 passes defended 3 tackles for loss.

      Now lets get back to this guy crick, he had way better stats than mccoy too and he is only a sophmore:76 tackles 9.5 sacks 18 tfls, 4 blocked passes 16 qb hurries
      now im going to take a bold step here: Its not the scheme mccoy plays,its just he isnt as good as SUH OR CRICK.
      ( NOTE: I DIDNT SEE MCCOY AT ANY OF THE AWARDS CEROMONY)
      Back to Suh. Suh had the way better combine and had a 35.5 inch veritcal, highest for a guy over 300 pounds since 2000, he had 9 more reps on the bench, practically tied with mccoy in the forty (when will a d tackle run 40 yars straight? (oh wait suh made 2 tackles this year like that......) and suh also outpreformed mccoy in the 3 cone drill and the shuffle. Add this up and you get one hell of a defensive tackle who intercepts passes, blocks kicks sacks the quarterback, racks up the tackles, pressures the qb, disrupts screens, can make tackles 10-20 yards down field, and tackle the ball carrier for a loss.

      how could you not want suh?

      McCoy continues to annoy
      by AvengerRam_old
      The one comment (which I've read from a handful of fans and a couple of analysts) that I just don't get is the suggestion that Gerald McCoy should be taken before Ndamukong Suh.

      Based on what?

      Go and look up their stats (I've posted them before and I don't have the time of patience to pull them again). Its not even close. Suh's production is essentially double that of McCoy.

      And what's the context of these stats? Two guys who play in the same conference against the same competition level. Two guys who are close to the same size.

      I've heard some try to argue that McCoy has better technique. I don't see it. From what I've seen, Suh has great technique for a college player. But, even if McCoy had better technique, SUH DOUBLED HIS PRODUCTION! Imagine how Suh could produce if his technique develops further.

      If the Rams ultimately decide that they need to take a QB with the first pick, I'll be disappointed, but at least I'd understand the thinking. After all, if that pick were to turn into a franchise QB, nobody would argue with it in the long run. Similarly, if the Rams trade down, I'll have misgivings, but I'd understand the logic.

      I'll tell you this, though. If the Rams stay a pick No. 1 and take McCoy over Suh, you will hear a loud sound coming from the Southeast United States.

      It will be me screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!"
