HOLAAAA!!!


Welcome to KC, Mr. Tyson Jackson.


I think that Pitoli has gotten a little slack for this draft pick, but I understand a little of the madness. Probably going to come into the new defensive scheme a little better and feel a bit more at home with Bowe and Dorsey here to help. He fits the immediate need we have for the defense, but I thought maybe we would go for someone a bit faster and more explosive to focus on the pass rush more?

Anyways, let's all meet the new boy getting used to a red jersey:



POSITION: Defensive End
HEIGHT: 6-5
WEIGHT: 292
EXPERIENCE: 1L
HIGH SCHOOL: West St. John HS
HOMETOWN: Edgard, La.



2008 Preseason First-Team All-SEC (SEC Coaches, SEC Media)
2006 Second-Team All-SEC (SEC Coaches)
2006 SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week (Nov. 11 vs. Alabama)
2005 Freshman All-SEC (SEC Coaches, Sporting News)

I always like reading the "personal" section.
Full name is Anthony Tyson Jackson ... Born June 6, 1986, in New Orleans ... Majoring in communication studies ... Favorite sports movie is “Rocky” ... Aspires to be a teacher.
Awesome. Anyone who loved Rocky is alright with me.
Boy logs 121 collegiate tackles, 19 sacks, and one INT.
Looks like we have about 111 days till first pre-season outing to see if Pitoli made a good pick.

Still playing a 4-3, or switching to the "Pats" 3-4? If still a 4-3, two stud d-tackles take up a lot of blocking and free up others to blitz. Good solid foundation you're building.

I am fairly sure we shall be converting to the 3-4

Special Agent Johnny Utah said...

If so, then I'm surprised you didn't take Curry, the stud LB from Wake.

You need playmaker LB's in a 3-4. You have that kid from Texas (I forget his name), but another edge rusher would have been ideal, especially since you just got Dorsey on the D-line last year.

Lupe said...

Yeah, but I see em wanting someone to make some pass rush happening coming with the DT/DE pick over the maybe stronger pick in Curry.

I was one of the ones who DEF thought we would be picking up Curry, but hey what do I know.

Special Agent Johnny Utah said...

True, that'd be a good bonus though. The D-line in a 3-4 is mainly for stopping the run or tying up blockers so the LB's can make plays.

We have that big load Casey Hampton up front that always occupies a double team. That's the foundation of our D.
