Give him time people. He is finally gonna be in the 4-3 again as a DE. He is not a bust YET, his only misfortune was getting drafted by McDaniels. You know, the guys that got 4-3 guys for the 3-4 and Zone RBs for Power Scheme? What an ignoramus.
Ona titans message board I advocated ayers for our 30th pick because in the titans system he could line up anywhere on the D-line.
As a 3-4 OLB he might be a liability in coverage and only an average pass rusher but you try to run in his area blocking him with a fullback or TE he will beat you.
Robert, as a South Carolina resident, I just want to congratulate you on being the first player from SC that was taken in the 2009 NFL Draft by the Denver Bronco's. I know that you are looking forward to making your debut in August. I saw you when you and your team mates won the 2001 4A Little 30 State Championship over Conway. I also saw the 1998 win over Ridge View. You came from a good program. Good luck.
Robert played for the Marlboro County Bulldogs (Bennettsville). I saw them win 2 4A Division II State Championships. Ayers was on the 2001 team. They beat region rival Conway Tigers, 17-10. In 1998, they beat the Ridge View Blazers (Columbia). I forgot the score, but they just blew the Blazers out. That was the same day (Dec. 4, 1998) that Lou Holtz was hired as the football coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks.
hes been playing in a system that didnt fit him..also hes been outta position. mike nolans 3-4 and moss moving to the outside lb will give him another chance...dont call him a bust yet
Honestly I didnt like this guy but my uncle just made me watch his senior bowl highlights and wow!!!!!!!!! This aint the same kid I watched play my gators. This dude is HUNGRY! He is vastly improved and he made som damn good o-linemen look pretty average. Go to the draft day clip and they will show you his senior bowl highlights and hes pretty nice! He looks sooooo much more powerful and quick you think its someone else.
Doesnt play real "pretty", but very effective. The one play that stands out is the inerception. Doesn't look like zone blitz, looks like he just read the play and was playing screen.
He's not all that impressive but he sure gets the job done. Kinda ironic he gets the better of Moreno in a couple plays in this. Coming from a program like TN, he'll do just fine. Just like Wesley Woodyard who showed up for the Broncos a few games last year. Go Broncos!
As a Broncos fan Im not impressed. And he led the Vols with 4 sacks?? Im not wowed at all by this guy. Nothing about him stands out. He's not that strong, he doesnt have that many moves, he's not that fast at all. On top of that, this was his only good year. I gotta see what he does against Clady and Harris in training camp.
matilack (14 hours ago) Show Hide 0 Marked as spam Reply | Spam This is no Shawne Merriman or DeMarcus Ware.
90% of his sacks are coverage sacks, it takes him too long to get to the QB.
__________________________
think about what the broncos did this off season we beefed up the secondary smith dawkins bailey and ole boy from miami, we need more coverage sacks instead of none
NFL draft expert Mike Mayock said this guy is the best DE in draft, he wasn't strictly rushing the passer at TN but still had 9 sacks last year alone. He said he can play OLB or DT along with DE if need be. It's good because Denver needs more Dynamic players on D. I give it a B+ pick from what I seen so far, but we will see how he performs with our new D scheme.
I watched videos of maluaga and orakpo and believe that Ayers is a better pick. In the highlight reels maluaga tried to go for big hits constantly whereas ayers wrapped on every tackle, or attempted to when he missed. He also played position very well. Orakpo I think is going to be caught on steroids soon. He is too interested in the weight training but I believe the muscles have outgrown the support of tendons and such, he will be hurt soon.
Robert Ayers should be solid, hopefully we have found a guy that can finally rush the passer. I absolutely love the Moreno pick too, He will have a very bright future in Denver. I will say I told you so after this year.
I agree. Shouldve got Orakpo at 12. By 18 Moreno would probably still be around if not Beanie Wells. If not you got Rey. Im kinda disappointed, but who knows, ayers might be the shit.
This guy is a very underrated player. 3 years from now he will be the top defensive player from this draft and will be looking forward to a big contract.
olbroady means that when the rookies have established themselves in the nfl about three years from now, it'll be clear that ayers is the best out of the other defensive players selected in tomorrow's draft
dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days nw uv startd readn this dnt stp this is so scary snd ths ovr 2 5 vids in 143 mins when ur done press f6 nd ur crush's name wll appear on the screen n big letters ths
anyone that thinks he'll go in the first round is nuts, he's not a top ten talent. he should fall to the bucs at 19. The bucs are reinventing themselves with youth and are intrigued by the idea of having another DE opposite gaines adams.. If not the bucs then he shouldnt fall past 20 to the lions. (they got the 20th pick from dallas). and he wont go to the bills, they have the 11th pick and there are at least 4 other DE's better than ayers.
he's good dude... tom brady wasnt considered top talent... better yet horton for the skins wasnt considered top talent but they both are killing opposing teams....
if the panthers ever get a 1st rounder, they better pick this guy up, he can put some pressure on the QB and allow their LB's to get the QB on a blitz. and he can also stop the run.
or i can see him with the titans, i mean kyle vandenbosh is getting old and we know him as a rough run stopping pass rushing (at times) DE. and i think ayers would look good at his opposite side.
dude it's hard to run to his side. he definitely wont be giving anyone a soft corner on outside runs to his side - i think that's why scouts are so high on him, he's not a flashy, wimpy passrusher only.
He's definately 1st rounder. I've seen one draft board that has him going to the Titans but I wouldn't be surprised if he did go to the Pats. If he goes in the first round that'll be 4 years in a row that a former Vol will go in the first round.
Would love to see this guy on the Pats. He's exactly what we need and the type of player that Belichick loves to draft: an undervalued, sturdy, instinctive 3 down 3-4 OLB who can set the edge vs the run and rush the passer on 3rd down. And he played on the same unit as Mayo who will no doubt put in a good word, so I wouldn't be surprised if he gets drafted early. Those two could be the Bruschi and Vrabel of the next 10 years. I'm already excited and getting ahead of myself...
I agree with you 100% I heard some reports that BB might ask mayo about he's fromer team mate... I would love to see this 2 guys together again... I think the pats might suprise a few people with this pick..........GO pats
2011. Still waiting for this guy to do something.
