[Husker] Suh at the Combine

[Jay Saunders]

I heard Todd McShay address both these guys on ESPN this week. He, too, said McCoy was a little faster. But he quickly talked about how dominant Suh was in the power and agility portions of the combine. McShay talked about how powerful Suh was and that the 1/4 step quicker that McCoy is doesn't diminish the fact Suh is an unbelievable force (or something to that effect).

Personally, I think anyone who takes McCoy over Suh is making a big mistake. That's not JUST my Husker bias - just look at the tape. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if St. Louis drafted a QB or traded the #1 pick. They have much bigger needs thatn DL right now.

Subject: [Husker] Suh at the Combine

I was listening to an NFL guy who is at the combine being interviewed on the radio today.  I think his name was David Grant but I'm really not sure, but the guy sounded very competent.  The interviewer clearly wanted to talk about Tebow but Grant was frank that the QB who is shining most is Bradford.  Anyway, they started talking about the two DT that will go high, Suh and McCoy.  Grant said both had been very good at the combine.  He said that coming in the thought was that McCoy had a quicker first step than Suh, but that didn't appear to be a big difference.  He said that the impression may have been because " Suh played in a more read/react system whereas McCoy was turned loose on the bull rush more often."  That is plausible I suppose, but I didn't see how anyone could think Suh wasn't a quick as hell rusher.  I checked and Suh had more sacks than McCoy, as well as more tackles for loss.  Suh spent an awful lot of time in the opponent's
 backfield
for a guy that wasn't allowed to rush as much.  Does anyone have any ideas on this?
