Check out this video from ESPN First Take. Eric Mangini, Christian Fauria and Skip Bayless discuss the Seahawks trading down and selecting Bruce Irvin with the 15th overall pick in the first round.
Skip Bayless is usually pretty hard to please, but it looks like he’s on Team Bruce. Mangini and Fauria… not so much.
Let’s go Bruce! Keep proving your haters wrong!
Christian-Watch tape. Teams had their Guards AND tackles on Irvin. W. Virginia was foolish for using Irvin in a 3 man front. Also noticed how Irvin made other players better. I think it was the Pitt game which had Irvin double teamed EVERY play, he still made sacks and big plays, but even better because they tried to keep irvin out his teammate racked 2 sacks and a fumble. Irvin was not used correctly, but even with that mistake he made the defense so much better. Watch the tape. Skip is correct with this one!
