Broderick Bunkley

[Kenny]

We all know that Ngata > Whitner.

But would you have picked Bunkley instead? Watching the game yesterday, he looked pretty effective. Not sure if it's because of the scheme or not, but it's looking like we made another mistake here.


That being said, any of you guys surprised with the Titans. Looking back, they havent exactly had strong drafts either.
Ben Troupe, Adam Jones, Vince Young, Chris Henry, etc... Goes to show you what coaching can do for you despite a team's talent.

Do you think our FO has learned their lesson yet? We will probably take Malcolm Jenkins another CB from OSU next year. lol, or get a load of this! We will draft a 3rd round rated FS at #11 when Taylor Mays is still on the board because he doesn't fit our scheme!!

Re: Broderick Bunkley

Bunkley had a rough start to his career, but he's worked hard and is a great physical player now (IMO).

The Eagles love to draft linemen (O and D) with their early-round draft picks, and it's a big reason they are so successful.

I see them going OT with one of their 1st rounders this year (they have two).

Who was it that didn't fit our system. Ngata or Bunkley? Too bad Whitner doesn't either.

They said that Ngata didn't fit our scheme... What strikes me as kind of funny though is that Ngata has more career interceptions than Whitner.

Well that stands to reason since Whitner is a huge, powerful tackler who is so intimidating that QB's are afraid to throw his way. On the other hand, Ngata is a ball-hawk Nose Tackle whose deft moves make him a surprisingly effective pass defender who's always a threat to return an INT to the house...

Re: Broderick Bunkley

But instead of Bunkley/Ngata/Cutler we got a playmaking Safety who excels at ummm oops...well, excels at running his mouth, getting run over and tackling guys eight yards deep in the endzone.

Nice legacy that Whitner is starting to acquire!

Re: Broderick Bunkley

its no secret that going into the 07 season we need a young DT bad...Why do you think we traded all those picks to move back into the first round to get McCargo??? Sigh.

Well to be fair... picking Cutler would have been a stupid move at that time. It's easy to look back and say Cutler > Losman, but at that point in time no one knew.

But the Ngata and Bunkley picks just made too much sense. I still remember when Boomer made that announcement that the taxi cab driver told him to expect a 'surprise' pick I was thinking 'Oh ****!'...

And then when Whitner was announced I almost threw the control at the tv. It was ******ed pick then, and it's a ******ed pick now. But hey... Im sure he's a nice guy with great character!

Re: Broderick Bunkley

every single ****ing one of you would have said that bunkley was a total bust right up until this year.. he has sucked dick until his 3rd year when he put it all together.. he is a perfect example of why you dont give up on guys after a rough rookie year.
