Yep, I was dead wrong on that one. I thought Allen would test like a freak compared to Bosa. Maybe everyone was using the wrong wording, or I'll speak for myself, Allen doesn't have a higher ceiling because of athleticism but more so because of versatility Oh well, doesn't seem to matter now cause our shot at Bosa is becoming more realistic and I don't think Lynch would pass on him for any other DRAFT prospect

He must have had a bad workout. There is no way someone that size can be that good in coverage and that productive as an edge rusher, if he isn't athletic. Dude has been having a bad offseason.

I guess his combine performance also shuts down the narrative that he is only a speed rusher with no technical skills, if he isn't really that fast.

What is going on in this thread? I can't believe I feel compelled to come in and defend Allen. He had a great workout. It was on par with Mack, Beasley, and other studs. It wasn't a freak show like Garrett's combine, but anybody who expected that was hunting for heartache. Allen is a HELL of an athlete, and a damn good football player. It's just that you all are surprised that Bosa is a hell of an athlete and, IMO, a better football player. People definitely expected Allen to blow Bosa out of the water at the combine, and that is exactly why everyone, myself included, conceded that Allen might have a higher ceiling.

Bosa came out and did what he had to do. There are two freaks on defense in this draft, and Bosa reminded us that he's one of them (Williams is the other). Allen did almost as many bench reps, but Bosa throws OL like toys. Allen can win untouched around the edge, but Bosa can make you wish you didn't touch him, because his hands are f**king dynamite. He is exceptional in every aspect of DE play, and there is no one who comes close to him on film. No one. He has more "Oh s**t!!" moments per game than anyone I've watched since Reggie White, but Reggie's were almost all power, and Bosa's are power, bend, balance, COD, instinct, etc. He's the perfect football player for this team, and he appears to be within reach.

If he's there at 2 and the 49ers blow it, I'm going to the zoo to throw the penguins into the polar bear cage for a South/North meet and greet.

I don't know if the second "Hater" is in reference to my question whether Bosa lost a teeny bit of time weaving a bit during the 40 or not. Just want it on record I think he is the pick at 2 if available, I was just thinking he may actually be faster than his combine time if he had a straighter line.
So I actually think he's faster than his posted time, which is a good thing, isn't it?

I have a theory why he was weaving when he was running. It's because he's such a great pass rusher that his body is just naturally acting on its own. It automatically weaves as to pass a blocker to get to the quarterback. His body doesn't run a straight line and get stone walled like maybe let's say a Rashan Gary.

Lol I like that theory. I don't care about his 40 though. His 10 yard split of 1.55 is elite level. Better than Von Miller, Clowney and Justin Houston. I'm almost glad he ran the non amazing 40. Let people overlook him.

I think either are fine.

The nightmare scenario is we trade back to settle for maybe's beyond the obvious top three prospects.

The combine is basically a giant distraction that doesn't really change the narrative of the last three years of tape people have been studying on all the participants.

40 times for DE is pretty stupid. Agility, strength, and burst tests are far more important. Just don't go in the Gary thread unless you want to hear about the recordz braking 40 time in 20 yeers for 280lbs!!!!!!!

He doesn't care if he's right. He just wants attention, good or bad. He's hoping he can play the clickbait game all the way up to ESPN. I like to pretend he doesn't exist, that way I don't have to be pissed that his only slightly less useless daddy gave him a press pass as a graduation gift.

The Gary thread has become rancid. I think the guy is mentally unstable.

Rule #1 about shock jock reporters: don't follow them on twitter, and don't read their stuff.

Rule #2 about shock jock reporters: definitely do not repost the trash they write.
