*****The Dorian O'Daniel Thread*****

More to come...

Quote:
Overview
Athletic linebackers like O'Daniel are earning high marks from NFL scouts because they need to cover the middle of the field in passing situations. ACC coaches recognized O'Daniel's talent in 2017, naming him second-team all-conference after he led the Tigers with 103 tackles, including 11.5 for loss and five sacks, as well as three pass breakups in 14 starts. One of the top outside linebacker recruits in the nation after an excellent high school career in the Washington, D.C. metro area (all-state in Maryland with 1,307 rushing yards, 18 touchdowns as senior, 16.5 tackles for loss, five sacks as junior). O'Daniel redshirted in 2013, and then got into the action regularly as a freshman, starting once and leading the team with 13 special teams tackles (had 31 total stops, sack) in 12 games played. He once again paced the team with 19 special teams stops in 2015, and was credited with 32 total tackles in 15 games as a reserve. Given a chance to play more on defense as a junior (10 starts in 15 games), O'Daniel used his quickness and tenacious nature to make 60 stops, 10 for loss, and 2.5 sacks.

What O'Daniel lacks in size and speed at the linebacker spot, he makes up for with production and consistency. He may not have the tools to become a quality full-time starter at linebacker, but his outstanding career as a special teams cover talent could be enough to earn him a roster spot and a place in the league for years to come.

Strengths
  • Madman on special teams
  • Finished career with 48 special teams tackles and most of them in kick coverage
  • Has a gift for playing past kick return blocks and maintaining focus on the returner
  • Technically sound as tackler
  • Sees what he hits and drives upper body into target while wrapping to finish
  • Possesses agility for lateral tackles against cutback runs
  • Hustles to contain against perimeter runs
  • Offers versatility
  • Played near the line and matched up on slot targets
  • Redirects routes with force
  • Reads and squeezes from zone
  • Finished 2017 with seven passes defensed including two pick-six interceptions

Weaknesses
  • Just one season as starter
  • Has the frame of a big safety, but is an average athlete in space
  • Is a little sluggish in his directional change and needs a runway to get accelerate to top speed
  • Pursuit speed is below par
  • Often blocked by smaller slot players against spread rushing attacks
  • Needs to prove he can beat blocks near the line of scrimmage on next level
  • Gives up separation when matched in man coverage
  • Plays upright and needs to do better job of anticipating routes

Just get Berry and Sorenson back, start playing Watts and get Parker doing things he doesn't suck at.
Ummmm......he's still not a starting caliber safety in this league. He had to cover Heurmann.....not Gronk.

Sure, but that's 2 straight pretty decent games.

I'm not asking the guy to be an all pro back there. Just be competent.

Well he's got two big games coming up. Don't **** those up and I'll be impressed. Good thing for him....the Jags don't have a TE that's good.

Apparently O'Daniel had 7 snaps. Hopefully he continues to get more looks and finally forces Terrence Smith to the bench (and eventually to the street).

I'm with you, Mr. OKchiefs.

But this happens to me all the time. I get excited about a new player with perceived potential and he turns out to ... well ... he doesn't turn out.

There were "rumblings" that he was having difficulty picking up the system. That's sad because I saw him as more of a "see ball - go get ball" type of player. Not a "where ball?" kind of guy.

Perhaps is time has not yet come.

If he can't play a game where a teams whole offense is short passes to backs...he was a bad draft pick, thank you Brett Veach.

Meanwhile 5th rounder Shaqueem Griffin has already started games on a better defense.

He started one game and if his PFF grade is any indicator, he wasn’t very good.
