I was 100% positive that Phillips would win it for the 3rd time in his last 3 games but sheesh, didn't realize Roche played THIS good.

I liked how we had Roche and Phillips on the same side for one of their sacks, def. created a mismatch off the edge.
Yep I noticed that. This had to be the first game we did that... Unless I just haven't been paying attention. But yeah, we should try that more.

First time I've noticed as well, Roche standing up next Phillips, pick you poison with that match-up because we should be able to get one of them into a mis-match.
 
Declare this year and he can maybe sneak into 1st round? But probably a 2nd rounder with the odd chance he falls to 3rd based on injury history/limited tape.

Stay next year and he could work his way into top 10 pick. Late 1st round probably at worst (unless injury or wheels completely fall off).

Tough decision to make but this is one of the things Manny needs to fix in order to take this program to the next level.

True to some degree. Our main problem has been guys with bad draft grades not coming back to improve their stock.

People was crying during the off-season saying Baker should've stopped sliding Rousseau inside. He wrecked **** on a lot of the snaps he took from that spot, and Phillips proved again that it definitely works.
 
Methinks Roche will be an NFL linebacker, perfect size and good speed. Listed as 6' 5" 205 but has to be at least 240. Would like to see him get some snaps as a linebacker.

The look I'm talking about had Roche standing as OLB with Phillips still at DE. Loved the look but agree we could've gotten creative with GR15 on the roster, imagine him at DT in that look.

He could play the Kevin Green role from the Steelers perfect.

Roche quietly fills up the stat sheet every week , he just don’t look good as Phillips when Phillips is doing it but roche is a stud and might even be the guy who have the better pro career

You're absolutely right. This is like the 3rd game where I look at stats and highlights and be like ****, I don't remember Roche playing this good during the game lol.

Just imagine the Nascar package with Greg Rousseau in the middle of Phillips and rouche if he would have played. It would have been insane.

What’s crazy about that is that Phillips is probably better in the middle than GR. When he did it he was much more explosive.
