I was trying to think of a closer comparison for an EDGE and the guy that came to mind was Pernell McPhee. McPhee could do both like they’re going to ask Speaks to do. |

I could definitely see Speaks shedding 10-15 lbs here in the league.

The goal was obviously to get bigger and stronger in the box, which is what they did. Whether they can generate a pass rush and/or defend the pass any better will be the question.

I have to keep reminding myself that he's a 2nd round pick, not a 1st, and to not put 1st rounder expectations/hopes on him.

I’m a lot more happy with an edge guy like Speaks who can’t learn from Houston and set the edge. Bigger stronger better player than Dee Ford who is such a liability in the run game

Doesnt matter if Ford gets 15 sacks this year, he is good as gone, but we really have to hope the weight loss improves his explosion, because while his 40 is the same as Hali... the 3 cone, shuttle and jump are quite different |

11th overall SPARQ at DL too. Speaks seems to have good enough strength and balance not get blown off the ball after the initial OL punch. Though during the Miss State video he was neutralized (outside of the fumble recovery)in the 1st half, but didn't quit and later in the 2nd half he did make some impact plays.
