Now, I'm not naive but I got the feeling that he meant what he said.

I don't get to draft anyone but I'm glad the Skins are bringing him in for a visit. I feel confident that they'll learn enough about him so we all can rest easy if they should pick him in the first round.

This is the kind of player I'm really not sure about. They want to be the best NFL player he can be. Shouldn't you have that same attitude in college or even high school? I had that attitude on Saturdays in the Church yard or the elementary school grounds when me and the boys played. I just wanted to knock the hell out of somebody and win. If you love what you're doing, that's what you do. He has so much talent maybe he can take some plays off. But I'm not looking for someone to take plays off. If we draft him I just hope he gives it his all every down.

Do you think the injury coupled with risking millions might have had something to do with it? I mean maybe he is a lazy piece of shit, i dont know.

That makes it even harder to figure out Punch. Was there a drop off in performance after the injury? Were the same things being said about him before the injury? I have no idea.

Yes there was a definite drop off after the injury but maybe he has the lazy trait too? That is why people get paid a shit ton of money to make these decisions. Lol. I know if this guy comes close to living up to his full potential that getting him at 17 is highway robbery. Could be the perfect marriage of need and bpa. All this lazy talk could be a blessing in disguise alot like Warren Sapp smoking a blunt was for the Bucs.

I saw that. For the record he suffered the injury midway thru, and still played. Anyway based on that article Id take him

He could be a great player though from the article he admitted he couldn't do things the way coaches wanted him to. I'm not sure how much that matters if he works hard and tries and according to him he did. All I know is he has unlimited potential and we need someone that could be what he can be. If he will or not idk. I thought the guys in the locker room could get Preston to step up who also has great potential. But I was very disappointed last year. Whether it's him or the way he was being used I don't know. We've had some of the worst DC's in the league.
