From BleacherReport regarding up and coming players who have broken out in the past season.

Robert Nkemdiche was supposed to bring balance to the Arizona Cardinals defensive front. The standout talent hasn't lived up to expectations, though.

Instead, Olsen Pierre moved into the starting lineup on Nov. 9, and he's been far more effective. The 2015 undrafted free agent spent all of last year on the Cardinals' practice squad before eliciting the coaching staff's attention during the summer.

"He's a **** of a pass-rusher," head coach Bruce Arians said in June, per Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site. "He's up to 298 (pounds). He's got length. He might be our best inside pass-rusher right now."

Arians comments proved to be prophetic, as Pierre is second on the team with 4.5 sacks.

An interior pass-rusher is worth his weight in gold since the ability to collapse a pocket makes a team's edge-rushers even better. The Cardinals happen to feature the NFL's current sack leader in Chandler Jones.

In the third-year defensive lineman's six starts, he has three sacks and five quarterback hits. He's quick off the snap with long arms and improved strength, which makes him a handful for most interior blockers.

Pierre further proves a player doesn't need to be the No. 1 overall high school recruit or a first-round pick to become a productive professional.

Yes, most here are imbeciles. The reality is that Al Golden was a good evaluator of talent and a solid recruiter, he was a very poor coach in most other regards. Also, NJ is a great producer of talent for the size of the state and historically provides us some great players. In total it pales in comparison to Florida, especially South Florida.

There is a connection between these names. Im not sure what it is, but there must be something...


What could it be?

What coullllllld it beeeeee?????


:puzzled:
 
Thanks for the update.

When are we going to see Mark Donofrio in handcuffs for stealing millions of $$’s out of the pockets of young men? I don’t think his stint of community service rehabilitated him adequately. Perhaps the authorities in Texas will take his crimes more seriously, particularly given the established pattern of offense.

The crime is he’s STILL being allowed to do it.....
 
Happy for him... Hope he banks when the time comes and that he has a long, productive career.

Thx for posting OP.

GO CANES!!
 
Great for Pierre. You could see he was a raw talent during his time as a Cane. Imagine how he, Chick, and Kamalu would have improved had they been coached by Coach Kool.
