Thank you sir...both can play the nose because of their ridiculous upper body power and the leverage they get... they're athletic enough to play UT or DE (in a 3-4) if that's what they're asked to do...same height...same weight...same body type...similar skillsets...

Suh's going to be such a good player...Dockett's pretty much Seymour without the 6'6 315+ body anyway.

I think Suh is stronger than Dockett and Seymour to be honest. I dunno what his reps will be, but he's massively strong functionally.

People often forget how much of a beast Seymour was. He never put up huge numbers since he played end in a 3-4, but he was dominant for a long time. He still had a pretty good year in Oakland this past season, but if he played in a 4-3 his whole career he would have earned a lot more recognition as an elite player. He is probably the best 3-4 end we've seen and is what everyone looks for at the position; he is huge, strong, and very athletic. He was a froce against the run but could also rush the passer.

I really like the Suh to Seymour comparison, Suh is just 2 inches shorter. If Suh plays in a 3-4 he could be a Seymour type end but if he is drafted into a 4-3 then he could be the type of franchise type force big Rich could have been in that defense.

Notice how fast that defense went downhill when Seymour left.

Saints-Tigers · 02-17-2010, 05:35 PM

Dunno if he will ever be as good as Seymour, I just know he's stronger.

people tend to forget he played DT for the first 2-3 years in NE and was a 3-4 DE for about 4-5 years.

He's better at a similar stage.

God...remember the SEC when Georgia's DTs were Stroud/Seymour and Tennessee's was Haynesworth/Henderson?

I'll agree with that...he's as strong as Dockett, and that's an compliment and a half...watch Darnell Dockett player and you'll see a guy who's as functionally strong as any DT in the league. Lines up everywhere for the Cards...Aren't there any Cardinal fans here to talk about this guy? He's a beast. There's a decent argument that he's the 2nd best 3-4 DL in the league right now behind Ngata...well now that Haynesworth's going onto a 3 man line...but yea there's an argument.

Seymour's a HOFer and probably the best 3-4 DE of his generation. He can best be described as the prototype for his position (along with a select few guys). I don't want to just throw a comparison to him out and I disappoint myself by throwing it out for Oghobaase a year or so ago.

I guess Suh can be considered in that class of DT prospect...but the way I look at it is that if someone was in this draft who played exactly like Suh but was 2 inches taller and about 15-20 pounds heavier then he'd clearly be the better prospect. That would be a DT in the class of Seymour (who should be considered a DT as well as a3-4 DE because I doubt a 4-3 team would have said no to him when he was younger).

Before I'm accused of it, I'm not diminishing Suh as a prospect. He's the top player in this draft, and the best DT prospect since Ngata.

He played a 4-3 for his first two years, but in his second year we started moving towards the 3-4. He played the vast majority of his time here in a true 3-4, but man he looked like a beast in that 4-3. Still was a monster when we moved to a 3-4 but like I said earlier he would have put up ungodly numbers in a 4-3.

Don't forget about Shaun Rogers/Casey Hampton at Texas.

yourfavestoner · 02-17-2010, 11:41 PM

Thought of another good one just now:

Myron Rolle - Donovin Darius

I am a big Dockett fan but not sure if the comparison is that great. Dockett is known for getting penetration from exploding off the snap (moreso when he was in a 4-3) whereas Suh seems slower off the snap but then overpowers lineman and uses his hands to get free.

Me Likey Rookies · 02-18-2010, 01:23 AM

The perfect comparisons for the 2 DTs are
Suh- Kevin Williams
McCoy - Darnell Dockett/Tommie Harris

TankGiant · 02-18-2010, 12:28 PM

Suh I think compares to Glenn Dorsey coming out of college. I know Dorsey has not been a stud in the NFL but for people who cannot remember Dorsey was called one of the top DT prospects in years when he was in college. I think they both are very powerful upper bodys and are both very quick for DT's. I think Suh is a slight better prospect but he is also a bigger prospect.

this. because i made this comparison too and posted it in here I believe

irishbucsfan · 02-19-2010, 03:42 AM

Check out the draft preparation video of Suh on NFL.com. He is HUGE.

I really don't see this at all. The only comparisons between the two is they were highly rated DTs and had legitimate injury concerns. Dorsey is a prototypical 3 technique and is quite short with good explosion. Suh has great length and bulk but lacks elite explosion. Suhs hand placement is also a lot better than Dorseys in my opinion.

K Train · 02-19-2010, 02:41 PM

i have a few

Chad Jones-Adrian Wilson
Mardy Gilyard-Santonio Holmes
Anthony Davis-Ryan Clady (without the silky smooth technique)
Tim Tebow-Dallas Clark (for real)
Brandon Spikes-James Farrior
Sam Bradford-Alex Smith

thoughts?

GoRavens · 02-19-2010, 02:47 PM

Tim Tebow-Dallas Clark (for real)

= by far, the dumbest thing I've seen posted on this site in awhile.

lol you dont have to agree...its more of a joke than anything since i dont think theres a chance in hell tebow will change positions. they are about the same size, speed, didnt play TE (or much TE) in college and i do think TE would be his best chance to be successful

who would you compare tebow to?
