After much consideration of the Falcons' 2009 draft, I couldn't help notice one thing that kept popping into my head as I was checking out all of the picks. Lawrence Sidbury could be the rookie player that has the most impact on the Falcons' in the up coming season. As a matter of fact, he is eerily similar to the guy that will be lining up on the other side of the D-line from him in passing situations....
Both of them are around 6'-2" to 6'-3" 267 lbs. Sidbury does possess two very interesting physical strengths, he has 35" arms and 10 inch hands. Both of these are instrumental in keeping blockers off of you. He is also a lightning bolt coming off the end just like Abraham. He posted the fastest 40 yd dash time of any DE at the combine running a 4.53. While posting that time in the 40, he also registered the fastest 10 yd dash of anyone at the combine posting a 1.53 second mark in that area. This means that if you are a QB, yo' ass better be moving with a since of urgency. Because not only is this kid explosive, he has an arsenal of moves like this....
That little pull move he does around the 1:40 mark is nasty...
He registered 4 sacks in that game, and was named MVP. It was the D-I FCS Championship Game against Montana. Oh, and that RT that he abused all night, he is 6'-7" 305 lb Chris Dyk. You add an explosive pocket collapser like Peria Jerry, and then have these 2 guys coming off the end. Man, I keep having this vision of the Sugar Bowl where UGA played Hawaii. I see QB's flat backed staring up at the sky. Jay Cutler in particular.
Great comparison: This guy reeks of Abraham.
ReplyDeleteDamn impressive, but not quite as impressive as...THAT F***ING MUSIC!
"Spirit is movin', spirit is movin', spirit is movin' all ovaaaah meee! Can't stop movin, can't-can't stop movin!"
I personally apologize for the soundtrack. I muted it. I couldn't take it. But fuckers from Richmond are weird.
