I'm your huckleberrer
You're a redneck just like me.I’m a northerner. So a lot closer to a yankee than a southerner.
I'll give you that.You're a redneck just like me.
The way he described Overshown is pretty much exactly how we described him on the podcast last night, the problem is that he isn't going to be a fit for every defense and his role is kind of dependent on Quinn's unique vision for him. If Quinn leaves in a year or two this is a guy who could fall by the wayside.
Yeah I mean he is going to be a problem for any RB trying to pick him up on a blitz. Which is what you love to see out of a LBer because most of the time the blitz pickup is going to be by someone like that.
Those are all against RB's, I have no doubt he can be a really good blitzer against backs and TE's but in no world is he going to provide a credible edge rush vs. OT's.
kinda minimizes the impact some. If a lineman gets on him, he's blowed TF up.Those are all against RB's...
Or Jaylon Kearse, Donovan Wilson .Overshown is new Keanu Neal, think of it that way
I don't agree with that. Keanu was a safety that they forced into LBer. Overshown is way more of a LBer and his size is totally different.Overshown is new Keanu Neal, think of it that way
Same role to play, almost the same weight, though Overshown spreads it out more through a taller, leaner frame. Background doesn’t matter almost, it’s a speed-first weak side position to cover a lot of ground. He can support the run, but’s built to stop TE’s and any passes in the shirt middle.I don't agree with that. Keanu was a safety that they forced into LBer.

Exactly. Same kind of role.Deion Jones.
One thing about him, he’s fearless. Dude throws his body around regardless of the cost. If the play calls for him to fly up and jam a gap in the line, he’ll do it irrespective of facing guys who outweigh him to a man by darn near 100 pounds.
If you want to see why Quinn loves Overshown watch the 3rd play of that game. Flies from one hash almost all the way to the opposite sideline and just completely lays the wood to the WR.
I think he's raw in terms of the finer points of playing the position and is a bit of a one trick pony right now in terms of his downhill explosiveness, but it's a hell of a trick and if Quinn carves out the right role for him he could be really impactful in short bursts this year.
Another random play, he was the guy who pretty much made the play on a huge 4th and 1 stop that damn near won them the game if you go to 10:01 of the video.
Yep I think his blitzing ability is what will shine most early on. The scouts and McClay kept mentioning Donovan Wilson when talking about Overshown and you can see what they were thinking, Wilson throws his body around and looks like a blur sometimes when he's attacking downhill, Overshown has some of that same look when he gets rolling.One thing about him, he’s fearless.

I could see him blitzing off the edge or through any gap
