How is Chatfield "college ready"? He didn't win a single rep vs OTs at the Opening, and he looked terrible against 15 year olds at our camp.
He's 220 lbs and his only pass rush move is a speed rush to the outside. He's a project who needs a couple years in the weight room and working on technique wherever he goes
Watch in pads where he dominated on his film at American heritage. 1 on 1s without pads is not real football. Out at the opening he won and loss some reps. What he has shown on film is that he can get after the qb
Ok. Is he going to play American Heritage's schedule in high school? He's a good high school player, but recruiting is about seeing who will be the best college player. I looked at AHS schedule and it seems like he may have faced off with 1 P5 OT.
Joe Jackson had like 6 sacks his last year of HS, should we not have taken him?
Kool wants tall, long athletic freaks. Chatfield just isn't that
He whipped up on 2 Power 5 ot's just in practice at AH with one being expected to play for us. AH has played iMG and a bunch of national schools where Chatfield has made plays against big time players. You really need to do your history.
AHS played IMG last year? That's weird, maybe you need to do your history.
And everybody know Herbert wasn't at his best last year because he was (and I'm not surprised you ignored this) playing hurt.
Again, if he wasn't a Heritage kid, he wouldn't even have a OSU or UF offer. I didn't say he can't play college football. I think he'd be solid at a 3-4 school like Wisconsin. He just doesn't fit what we want in a DE and he's not athletic enough to be a 4-3 OLB.
I'm not sure why it's that difficult to understand. There are plenty of good players this staff doesn't think are fits. Yet Chatfield is the one everyone freaks out about
