Assumption one: Crable can't contribute (or contribute effectively) unless he thickens his legs.
Why not wait until he's at least wearing pads before proclaiming this? His leg strength could be perfectly suitable for him to have an impact this year.
Assumption two: the praise of Woods in the post-draft presser. This means very little other than that BB feels Woods has/had talent/potential (but he wouldn't be on the team if BB didn't feel that way). One can also speculate that Belichick isn't too fond of the program up in Michigan.
Assumption three: Woods's production (or lack thereof) in the past is predictive of what he will do in the future. It's his third year in the NFL after not playing very much his senior year in college. On top of that (or as a result of that), he was an UDFA. These players are undrafted because they either have red flags, suck, or need development. Woods needed development, undoubtedly. This does not mean that what we have seen from Woods is all we will get. He has the potential to be a solid back up/nickel rusher. Forgive us if we feel he could show that this year. Playing time is earned in training camp and preseason, not by what players did or did not do last year.
And patsgo, Mike Reiss never played in the NFL, does that mean his opinion is worthless?
I'd bank on Zo having been at the minicamps this past spring, that's significantly more exposure than you or I have experienced. His opinion should not be dismissed purely based on cynicism.
Good points all around. Specifically in reference to Crable, I remember the scouting reports citing his skinny legs and suggesting he didn't have the "sand in his pants" to be a force in stopping the run - but a) that's contradicted by his production and stops for losses last season b) barring injuries, we wouldn't be asking him to do that this season anyway.
thats the problem with the majority of prople on this forum, they belive and read everything the media says, and posts almost everything the media says, my point was most dont know anything so dont take it as gospel what they say, especially zolak, who has no inside knowledge of a belichick run defense, i guess i just should belive everything, would that make you guys happy/
if zolak is such a talent evaluater why isnt he working in a nfl teams personell dept.???? im not the one making outlandish statements that a 3rd round draft pick is going to be a impact player in his rookie year, knowing how belichick doesnt play rookies that often i highly doubt it, thats my opinion, zolak was a bad q b in the nfl, all im saying what he says shouldnt always be believed, if you want to believe everything he says and accept that as gospel, good for you im not buying itWhen you and Scott Zolak look at a football player and draw an opinion, he knows an awful lot more than you do.
first im not your buddy, i have a right to question what Zolak really knows, and if his opinion is creditable, if you have a problem , just go away, you seem to have a problem mr. belichick fan of anybody who disagrees eith you, i suggest some anger management courses for yourself

poor babee. no bubby wike yoo? done cry. have a wowwypop.thats the problem with the majority of prople on this forum
AWESOME IDEA. I keep forgetting that list.Better.
If Crable played ILB then the lack of sand in his pants would be a huge liability, however on the outside he can make lots of plays and tackles in pursuit.

Brady is a QB. QB's dont need to sift through the garbage in the trenches.Brady didn't have the greatest Frame either, must be something in the water up there at Michigan
Taylor is also so evenly proportioned that it makes him look small, head to toe. But the guy is pound for pound the best defensive player in the league.Jason Taylor is a bit thin. Now I'm not comparing him to JT, but if Crable can give half of what JT gives that will be great.
The team needs speed rushers and needs depth at that position too. Even if he's a one trick pony at first I'm fine with that.
People are sleeping on Woods because he really did not make any contribution to the regular defesne last year after Colvin went down.
As for BB praising him - it is meaningless. Ignore what he says, watch who he puts on the field. He praises EVERY player publicly. It is his MO with the media.

No one has ever questioned Crables upper body frame and stregth. What he needs to work on is his lower body because he is still a bit thin through his legs. He has the possibility to be a great pass rusher but he needs to bulk up a bit in some areas before being completely relied upon in the game ala Colvin. Mayo OTOH is already at that stage where he could jump in and play if needed to.

That picture where he's jumping over the line was all I needed to see.
