David Pollack sounds like our kinda guy

G

Grid

All Pro
I was just reading an article on Pollack in the "SportingNews" magazine.. and he sounds like our kind of player.

he is not exceptionally gifted, physically.. which is the only downside he has.

He has great instincts.. an impeckable work eithic.. he trains very hard in order to "keep up" so to speak, with the other guys in the draft.

The difference between him and a physical specimen like Shawn Merriman(for example) is that Pollack has constantly been fighting people saying he isnt big enough or fast enough to play a position. He was a 265 pound DT.. and he was tearing it up in that position. But he was too small so they moved him to DE.. despite his production.

Anyway.. he isnt FAST (he ran a 4.8).. but he is QUICK.. and he is very intelligent it seems. he plays with ALOT of fire and anger.

I would be happy to grab him in the 1st. he strikes me as a cant miss player.. just because of his drive, tenacity, and intelligence. I dont think a player like that has a chance of failing in the NFL.

he would be an OLB for us.. which might work out really well for someone of his size.
 
Pollack had some of the better times in the quickness drills. I've been a fan of his for a while. He is my favorite youngster coming out of College. He is very impressive when interviewed also. We could do much worse than taking him. www.nfldraftscout.com has the results for the combine. Hound at hpf first pointed it out but he ran as fast as Terrell Suggs in the 40 and he had unreal short shuttle and cone drill times (3.94 and a 6.87). Darren Sproles ran a 3.96 and a 6.96 and he is lightning quick. :shocked
 
a 4.8 for a DLman is fast. I also was impressed with the film is saw of pollack and his combine. Although at his size he may be a little to small since we only have 3 dlmen we need BIG guys to tie up blocks. Having said that I would not be upset in the least if we did aquire him. I feel we have to absolutely draft a DL man high in the draft.
 
I'm just saying this is probably the last time we are going to have a high draft pick and we have youth everywhere except the dline. We need to address the line (on both sides of the ball).
 
unfortunatly there are no truely elite prospects at DL. Spears is about the best one.. and im not so sure he is worth the #13. he seems like Jerry DeLoach to me. Solid.. but not any better than advertised.

Id be more interested in trying to acquire an extra #1 next year somehow.. and trade up for Ngata or Wright (assuming we dont already have a high 1st next year.. *fingers crossed*)

But, yah Vinny I was real impressed with what I read about him and what he said in the interview. A guy like that could be perfect for us.. especially if Wong and Greenwood are playing ILB... since they seem to be good at dropping into coverage.

This is one of the reasons Im not 100% confident on getting this guy. I want a guy I know who is going to come in day one, and contribute for the start. Im not saying that Pollack isnt going to compete, but it will be tough for him.

This is good thinking, but I hate to use our first round pick on need. That is where ive noticed teams get messed up. They take a player like Courtney Brown over Lavar because they felt the "need" squeeze. IMO.
 
Pollack's NFL.com draft profile:
Excellent rush end whose only deficiency is a lack of ideal height (6-2). Pollack is very productive and disruptive coming off the edge, using his explosive quickness to penetrate the backfield. Pollack is a bit of an overachiever, but he is a smart player with natural instincts who always seems to be around the ball. He shows explosive acceleration and excellent instincts into the backfield and is very effective using his hands to disengage.

Pollack is a solid run defender with the quickness and lateral agility to make plays on the move. When he gets too high in his stance, he can be tied up working in-line, but he is able to compensate, as he uses his hands effectively to get across the blocker's face quickly. He has a high motor and makes plays from sideline to sideline. Pollack shows a natural feel for the play and, at the point of attack, has the lower leg power to hold firmly. He uses his hands, flexibility and body control to get upfield and disrupt plays off the snap (108 pressures), playing with natural leverage and strength.

Pollack does a very good job of redirecting down the line and has the speed to close when in pursuit. He is a classic wrapup tackler who makes good body adjustments and always makes plays with good force. He is a fierce pass rusher with a natural feel for the ball, demonstrating outstanding flexibility to get upfield and disrupt the snap. Due to size limitations, you would expect him to only be effective coming off the edge, but he has more than enough strength to run over blockers in his quest to get to the quarterback.

His speed allows him to beat offensive tackles off the line and redirect. His relentless approach makes him a player that must be constantly accounted for. Even when he does not make the play, his pursuit is such that it probably affected the outcome of that play. Pollack is a solid wrapup tackler who makes good body adjustments and delivers the powerful hand swipes to defeat blocks. His natural feel for the ball in the short area is likened to that of Indianapolis' Dwight Freeney, as he always seems to gain proper position before making the hit.

Texans draft section Pollack media interview clip: Link.

Here is a Texans article on Pollack: Link.
 
after reading the above posts and remembering the dominating player i watched this past collegiate football season, i am hoping more and more the texans somehow aquire mr. pollack. i just get this feeling that he can do what everyone kept nagging babin wasn't doing. nothing against babin, i'm one of the few year round supporters of him, but i just like the tandem of pollack/babin. i think jason's going to come into his own this year and really standout and i just have this hunch david will make an imediate impact while still being solid (with his main weakness in coverage). anyone this enthusiastic about football would seem to have an edge when it comes converting position's...his character would also be a welcome addition to the team, because whatever team gets him will get a straight shooter that seems to be capable of becoming a leader in the first years of his NFL career. pollack definately doesn't seem to be synomonis with 'training camp holdout'...

i also feel our team can't have enough young LB's. since both lines are going to remain basically unchanged and our secondary has been acceptably solidified, i have this gut feeling the '05 draft will looking surprisingly like the '04 draft. if pollack is drafted i see him at '13' (as an OLB of course), one of the many cover guys as our second pick (CB most likely), then addressing RB, TE, OL in that order in the later rounds. but knowing cass, it's going to be a totally unpredicatable, yet a very enjoyable experiance :thumbup
 
I feel like I am back in Georgia. Are you guys trying to set me up? I would love to get this guy! Intensity, intensity, intensity! Pollack always gives you 110%. His size has been questioned, but he is the same size as Babin. His times in the 40 have been questioned, but Eramus James ran comparable times and I have heard James mentioned as a possible linebacker in a 3-4. I think Babin ran comarable times to Pollack as well. Plus, Pollack had impresive times in the drills that measure quickness. Also, he ranked first in the swim move. I must admit that his armspan is short, but that is really the only legitimate criticism.

I think Pollack would be an awesome pick. I realize that many "Homers" want DJ. He is a great player, but I seriously doubt he will be on the board when we pick. Pollack will most likely be on the board and possibly we could trade down to get extra picks and still get him.
 
I'd be very ambivalent about us drafting this guy. I mean what the hell would
we do with him - do we want another college DE like Jason Babin to go thru
a "trial by fire" rookie year in the NFL while they learn a brand new position.
And we are now quite strong at OLB and I think they want to give Peek a
chance to make or break himself with the team as a regular OLB.
And he's just too small to be a downlineman in the 3-4. Looks like he'd have
to gain atleast 25 lbs and then he'd be "only" 'bout 290. That's right at the
very bottom of the range for ends in our D, and you gotta wonder how much of his quickness and agility he'd lose at that weight.
But he wouldn't lose his fire, and that's what you gotta love about this guy. Talk about a presence in the locker room. He would be a very inspirational
player to have on the team and people would buy tons of tickets just to come
see his hustle and entuisiasm.
 
Well the coaches are not sold on Peek.. and after Peek.. who do you have? Wong? he will be playing ILB and probably wont be playing with us after next season.

the reason to draft Pollack is because he is worth it. He looks like a very solid pick.. great personality, a good athlete, alot of drive. He would give us another very solid and very young OLB... and hopefully help provide the pass rush we are lacking.

honestly.. think about it.. if we dont take an LB.. what are we going to take?

WR? we dont need it.. its a very MINOR need.. and Edwards and Williams will both be gone anyway.

RB? Dont need it.. Davis has been doing well for us and if the line performs like we are expecting it to.. he will be even better.

OL? not in the first round. There is no Olineman in the first round that is WORTH a pick. There will still be linemen of comparable quality in the second, third, and fourth round.

Dline? who is the elite prospect? The only two I can think of that would fit the 3-4 and are worth the #13 is Marcus Spears, and Anntaj Hawthorne. There will still be some very high quality Dlinemen available in the 2nd 3rd and 4th. (BTW there is also Shaun Cody, but everything I read about him is about him being a quick pass rusher.. and that he is a little small to play DT. THat doesnt strike me as 3-4 Dlineman kinda traits)

Secondary? we need NO HELP in our secondary. if we take a player in the secondary.. I would be surprised. Signing Lewis has shored us up there.


so that leaves LBs. of course.. you have ILB and OLB. But there is only ONE ILB that is an elite level player.. and that is DJ. The others will be available in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.
 
As much as I loved Pollack and cheered for him when I saw him play last year. I just dont think that he couldn win a starting job for us as an OLB. Hes not going to come in and be a better pass rusher than Babin and definitely no Peek. If we draft him it would basically be drafting for depth, when we could use some people at other positions.
 
hmm.. I disagree with ya BuffSoldier.. but im basing it just one what ive read about him, not what ive seen from him. So who knows.. maybe you are right there.

Click to expand...
Like you say there's good backer strength in the mid rounds, so I'm thinking they do take an ILB somewhere in the 2nd thru 4th rounds and play Wong/Peek @ weakside OLB this fall. If Peek finally matures and realizes his
potential, then they have the pleasant problem of figuring what to do with Wong in what will probably be his last year here. If Peek once again fails to
blossom, Wong covers.
Someone mentioned choosing Williamson instead of Clayton - I don't think
he'll be on the Board when we pick but if he is, we might very well take him over Clayton. But I think Mark Clayton might be this years Michael Clayton.

For comparison purposes, I looked up both Jason Babin and Antwan Peek's combine times.

Babin ran two 40s (4.64, 4.67), the short shuttle (4.14) and the three-cone drill (7.03). Peek ran one 40 (4.66), the short shuttle (4.38) and the three-cone drill (7.06)

Interesting. By just looking at the quickness drills, Babin is quicker than Peek, even though he outweighs him by twenty pounds. And Pollack is quicker than the both of them.

I think you just sold me on Pollack.

actually, they took courtney because he was the better player.
 
Shawne Merriman is a very hot prospect right now at OLB. Chances are pretty good that the Cowboys will take him before Houston gets a chance to . Lots of people think he'd be great for Houston at ROLB. Merriman is an obviously very gifted physical type... He had a very nice Pro Day running about a 4.66 40 at 274 pounds. If he plays ROLB he'll probably play lighter.

And then there's Pollack. He is not so obviously gifted... He ran only a 4.75 or so 40... But the truth is Pollack is as gifted as anyone in the draft. He just has his gifts in other places besides his straight away speed.

As Vinny said above....

"Hound at hpf first pointed it out but he ran as fast as Terrell Suggs in the 40 and he had unreal short shuttle and cone drill times (3.94 and a 6.87). Darren Sproles ran a 3.96 and a 6.96 and he is lightning quick."

Talk about gifted... Pollack is 6'2" 265 pounds and he is as quick as the very quickest running back... a little 5'6" RB. And his 40 is still as fast as the best sack artist to enter the NFL in the last three years.

I mean Merriman is great and it would be okay if the Texans take him. And if you wanted someone to run 40 yards and then tackle someone Merriman would get there before Pollack... But if you want someone to come off the line and tackle the QB... no DE/OLB can compete with Pollack.

But the truth is timed numbers isn't really what it's all about. It's really about how they played in real games. Well Pollack left Georgia with 36 sacks... and he only had 2 the first year.

DJ Williams is a great LB and most people thought he was going to sweep all the awards for defensive players... But he didn't... because Pollack won half of them. Pollack will be a great pick for someone and he'll get picked possibly in the second half of the first round. The Texans could probably trade down a few spots and still get Pollack. And if we do, after Pollacks rookie year everyone will want the Texas arrested for stealing.

It would be interesting to see what Cass & Crew would do if they were faced
with the decision of Merriman & Pollack both being left on the Board for our
pick. Its really athlete vs. football player, Secretariat vs. Seabiscuit. I dunno,
Cass has got a way of surprising, he's not dull and I think that's one reason
its fun to have him around.
But as a practical matter, Pollack is really better suited to play strongside
OLB than Babin. I mean he's played not just DE but also DT in college and that's in the SEC, so dealing with TEs as an OLB would be a snap for David. And I really think maybe they always wanted Babin over on weakside.
 
Pollack would be an unreal playmaker here and we could probably trade down to get him...If we come out of the first round with Pollack and an extra second, I'd be very pleased...

His stock has been falling like a rock.... The latest news is hes a mid 20's player. That he might be a College Overacheiver like a Chris Hovan..
 
I don't think we need to go for defense with our first pick again this year. Let's let the 2 guys we got last year mature into their positions. Supposedly, we didn't use the entire defensive playbook because we had Babin and Robinson starting. I'd hate to see us so vanilla for another year just to let another rookie get used to the system. I think Peek at one outside backer position and Babin at the other will get pressure on the quarterback if they can play by instinct at not so much "We have to work on technique" like we heard all of last year. Their technique should be down now, let's see them get after it.

I don't think anyone would disagree that our more pressing need is at offensive left tackle. If that position is not addressed in this offseason, it won't matter what receivers we have or running back for that matter, the defense's right end is always going to be in our backfield. Did any of you watch us play against Colts' Freeney? Seth Wand is an embarrassment at left tackle and was punished by him in week 13. Of course he also gave up 3 sacks earlier in the season to his backup in week 9. That's 6 sacks in 2 games against the 1 team we need to beat if we're going anywhere this year.
 
i look at pollack and i see teddy bruschi...teddy was a DE in college and ended up playing ILB for the patriots as we all know...i could see us drafting him and playing him at a bunch of positions...pollack is an old fashion football player...i think we could put him at ILB and he would do just as good as he would at OLB or DE(4-3defense)...all around great kid...but not a 13th rated player

It's understandable...He has short arms and probably isn't powerful enough to handle NFL OTs...I've said it before and I'll say it again: he needs to be in a 3-4 to reach his full potential in the NFL...

Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis abused everyone, not just Wand...Guess you didn't see Freeney own Jonathan Ogden on Sunday Night Football...Our tackles played fine last year, and Wand will only continue to improve...The only line positions I see us looking at are RT (Weigert is old and was injured last year) and C (McKinney regularly got owned by pretty much everyone)...
 
Put it this way: if the Pats (grumble grumble goddamn Pats) had our pick, and Pollack was still there, I'm pretty sure they'd take him. I don't think you really need to say much more about the guy than that.
 
i look at pollack and i see teddy bruschi
Click to expand...

Well, if he actually does turn into Bruschi, in my book he's worth no.1, never mind no.13. But even without being quite so optimistic, I regard Pollack as the best 'tweener prospect in the draft.
 
Have to disagree. In a draft full of tweeners Pollack cannot have my number one prospect. I like D. Ware, T. Davis, and Marlin Jackson. Take your pick and they are all more valuable tweeners on a whole than pollack. For our particular system Pollack and Merrimen can fight it out.

Marlin Jackson is a CB/FS tweener and Thomas Davis is a SS/LB tweener, so it's hard to compare them to Pollack, a DE/OLB tweener...

FWIW, I have the tweeners ranked like this:
1. Merriman
2. Pollack
3. Ware
4. Dan Cody

The only person I don't want to see us draft this year is that headcase Cody...
 
Merriman will go top 10
James will go either 10 or 11
Spears will go 12
then its a toss up after that
Shaun Cody, Dan Cody, Matt Roth, Pollack.... and those for are end of the teens to early 20's.

None of those people on that list will make 2nd round.
 
Shaun Cody's a DE-DT, not a DE-LB. For us he'd be a DE, so he's not competing with Pollack, who we'd be looking to convert to a strong side linebacker or even an ILB.

When i did that i clump them together bc in a 3-4 he would play DE. Antajj Hawthorne and Travis johnson i kinda put them into the NT area.

Travis Johnson is a strictly one-gap player...If we were to draft him, it would be as a DE...
 
Hawthorne to me could probably play either one,

By the way where is Luis Castillo ranked to go in the draft he looks like a steal when you put his athleticism number in Pat Kirwans Formula.

Which I kind of like in regards to Defensive prospects and who would be the best guy.

He takes their Vert leap, Long Jump, & Bench Reps and totals their figures.

Luis Castillo Northwestern DT 34½ 10-foot-10 32 = 77
Shawne Merriman Maryland DE/LB 40 10-foot-1 25 = 75
Demarcus Ware Troy State DE/LB 38½ 10-foot-2 27 = 75
Derek Wake Penn State LB 45½ 10-foot-10 20 = 75
Darryl Blackstock Virginia Tech LB 39 10-foot-6 25 = 74
David Pollack Georgia DE/LB 37 10-foot 25 = 72
Bryant McFadden Florida State CB 38½ 10-foot-10 23 = 72
Justin Tuck Notre Dame DE/LB 38½ 9-foot-10 24 = 72
Fabian Washington Nebraska CB 41½ 10-foot-9 18 = 70

Maybe you should then divide it by their short shuttle and then add the total number of sacks and interceptions they had in their college career(at least for the LB type) since how they played in the real games is probably more important than the number they put up at the combine.

And if you did that Ware has a 44.92 and Merriman has a 39.68 and finally Pollack has a 58.27...

Ware was best before the college sacks and interceptions were added in...

And what does it all mean. Not very much.

Castillo is probably the 3rd rated DT in the draft...I think he'll either go late 1st or early 2nd, depending on where Johnson and Hawthorne go...
 
Well ive made it clear in other posts that I like Pollack and would love us to grab him.


But, ive been projecting him as an OLB tweener. is it possible he could be an ILB for us?

hes 265 pounds.. thats about 15 pounds heavier than you would expect from a 3-4 ILB.. but he also scored outstanding in his quickness drills and could possibly be a great coverage guy.

On top of that.. he played DT before he got moved to DE and so has some experience working within the tackles.


In an article I read on Pollack it mentioned that he had great production at 265lbs, but that when he tried to move up closer to 300... his production slacked off quite a bit. Hes a player that works better at a lower weight. Is it possible then that we might get even more out of him if we got him to move down to maybe 255 pounds? or would it maybe work the same as having him try to move up to 300?


Anyway.. its just a thought. considering our needs at ILB, and Pollacks demeanor and numbers.. it seems like he could possibly be a great ILB in the NFL. But I dont know a whole lot about this kinda thing so, tell me what you think.
 
I'm not sure that Pollack has the coverage skills necessary to play ILB in our scheme...His strengths are getting to the QB and stopping the run, so I think he'd be a perfect fit at OLB, but I don't think his strengths fit what an ILB would be required to do...I could be wrong though...
 
I agree that he probably isn't a good fit at ILB as a rookie, but perhaps with time he could takeover Wong's role in the defense. He could be versatile enough to play either inside or out once he gets a feel for the defense and he gets coached up by our staff. He always seemed like a guy who could do just about anything you asked him to do.
 
I would hope that Capers' prior statements about getting the best 4 LB's (or best whatever number at that position) on the field are accurate and he is a good enough coach to scheme around different talents. Seems to me if they drafted Pollack they should be able to either move him or Peek to ILB (retaining the other at OLB) and teach him the new responsibilities or change the scheme to fit the guys on the field.

u mean keep Wong outside
 
Pollack seems like the type of guy that can contribute anywhere on the defensive front (mostly as an OLB). In long yardage situations though, put him in at DE. Rest Peek on some passing downs to keep those pass rushers fresh. Or maybe even more him inside on occasion. He is a football player wherever you put him. And no, I'm not a Georgia alumnus. I just want someone on our defensive front that makes QBs and offensive coordinators nervous. :woot
 
I just dont see him as a good inside guy this early, maybe later in his career if he played for us hed split time with both Peek and Babin.

wong and greenwood are our starting ILB end of story
Click to expand...

wow a little touchey arent you. This is just speculation everyone puts on here. Knowone on here knows who will play where but Casserly and Capers and maybe the players if they have been told.
 
the thing with pollack is he has enough physical talents to play a lot of positions...he's not really made for just one position...he's like 10lbs too light for 4-3 DE...he's probably even a little heavy for 3-4 OLB but he's speed is great so it doesn't matter...there were a lot of comments like this when Bruschi was coming out...no one had a clue where to play him...i honestly think the best place for him is ILB for the 3-4 defense...as long as he goes to a team with a solid linebacker coach(like us) and is given time to adjust...a year behind Wong at ILB would do wonders for him maybe even two years...Pollack is a kind of player where if you give him time to develop you will get a lot in return if you rush him into things it'll probably back fire on you...either way if we get Pollack in the draft via a trade up back in the first round or down in the first round i'll be alright with that because i really do think he'll be just like Tedy Bruschi and will be a pro bowler for years to come just because of his never quit attitude

this is the kind of guy you want in your lockerroom and not going after your QB...if we let Jacksonville or Indy get him we will be regretting it for a long long time...mark my words
