Pick 152 (R5) - DT Matt Ioannidis

[deanpet21]

Redskins selected Temple DE Matt Ioannidis with the No. 152 overall pick of the 2016 NFL draft.

Ioannidis (6'4/299) was a three-year starter for the Owls, tallying 29 career tackles for loss with 10 sacks and seven batted passes. He earned first-team All-American Athletic Conference as a senior. Ioannidis tested out as an average athlete, but he wins with brute power and toughness and is never on the ground. Whether it be at five or one technique, Ioannidis is an old-school, two-gap player with a fairly safe floor.

Check to see how many of these guys are team Captains. I know a few are and SM likes team captains.

Hey dean, what position is 1 technique?

Not sure but this guy is powerful. You don't like the pick? I believe all were team captains.

Lineup over the center

1 technique is a NT. Saw coach say he couldn't play nose.

Yes I like the pick a lot. I watched this kid play a fair amount the last two years. He is cock strong and little on the mean side in a good way.

1 through 5 technique means he can play DE, DT, NT. Shark, I think you will like this guy.

he was lining up over the center in his highlight film on espn. He is going to make the team.

1 technique is typically the 4-3 nose and lines up inside shoulder of guard. Takes one gap but expects double team...not two gaps.

0 tech lines up straight on the center. My point was someone that knows next to nothing about this guy says he can't do something ... the comment was BS.

Thanks gk, my question was rhetorical.

Sharks too busy thinking about the new grill he's going to have to buy after we don't achieve a .500 season next year cuz we got the worst Dline in the league...(ya know I love ya Shark )

Reading his NFL.com write up, he sounds like a NT. They say he is at his best when eating up two gaps.

I am glad you asked it. I decided to go read about the techniques.

In his interview he said he could play nose but played other spots too. Versatile, a common trait for Scot players.

Barry runs a one gap system. Every guy DL and LB has a gap they are responsible for. We did not play that well in the 1st half of the season. Got better with Compton and Foster but just got our thingamajigs handed to us against Green Bay.

For. A 5th rounder it's a good pick

I am a fan of Matt Rhule the Temple HC. Ex-Penn State player. He doesn't get the same level of player there and if you saw their facilities you would know why. He can coach up the D though. Would love to see him get the Penn State job in a couple of years.

I actually agree. Problem remains.. we got a bunch of good rotational/backup D-lineman.... and aside from Baker.. no real starters.
