The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

This guy seems to be impressive thus far, but it's only practice. I didn't follow him in college but he looks TOUGH...!!!

Another nice play by Chris Neild, he fought off block and got an arm on RB Roy Helu on a run to right. Helu fell to the ground.

No room for Tim Hightower on a run to the left, so he reversed field. He was quickly swallowed up by NT Chris Neild, S DeJon Gomes.

I ran across Neild browsing the NT options in the draft. I picked him as the sleeper. Analyst said he would be looked over b/c he was undersized which I thought was bull seeing he anchored one of the top rush defenses in the nation. I didn't think the skins would get him but they did it low risk. I wouldn't be surprised if he turned high reward in the future. Absolutely love this pick

Short version answer: yep I think he is the real deal

He's a little shorter than Cofield and HEAVIER....!!!

Is that big enough for ya...?

Its not really the height that concerns most people. Rather the width of a player when talking about NT. Vince Wilfork and Casey Hampton are both 6-1 to 6-2. They both weigh in somewhere around 325-350 lbs.

I like what I am hearing about Neild. Looks like he is the type of guy out to prove people wrong. Good for us bad for opposing teams.

diamond in the rough ???? hopefully!

I don't think that they will be able to sneak this guy through cuts and on to the practice squad. I heard one option (coming from a radio sports jock) was for him to play both end and NT. I bet he makes the final cut.

Nield is 6'2, 320#. Not that different.

I don't know anything other then what you guys have been saying. But it would be sweet to get a starter from a low round draft pick for a change from getting backups and cutting players we get with high draft picks

^^^^^ That's for sure....

In remaking this franchise, there are going to be VERY few players here from just 2 years ago

not that that's a bad thing - actually I'm liking it

the offensive line needs a bunch of new players to both start and provide really good depth and then you need those guys to have many games to get to know each other and understand what the offensive scheme is here
IF we are VERY lucky the offensive linemen might start to get things together towards the middle of NEXT season

THE GOOD NEWS is - this will also give us time to get the next future great QB ready because we do not need him behind an offensive line like we look like having here for the next 20 PLUS games

8-8 in 2011 and the playoffs (HOPEFULLY) every year thereafter

As bad as we were last year, we won and lost a lot of close games. A few different bounces, a few less distractions, a couple of upgrades, and we COULD have won 8 or nine games, maybe more. I'm not saying they will, but I hope the skins are going to have a respectable season 10-6 and playoffs ever after.

we could go 12-4 or even 16-0

fact is when you look at this season NOTHING that happened in the last 100 games means diddly - this team based on who we have and what they can achieve, realistically, is possibly a 8-8 or 9-7 franchise - HOPEFULLY

we'll win 1 or 2 we shouldn't and lose 1 or 2 we should have won - this is how it happens in the NFL

we are getting there but we are a long way from being consistently good, week in and week out

Maybe I'm missing something, but what in the world does this have to do with Chris Neild?

nothing much - just another player that is brought in that we hope will "stay"

we need more of a long range plan than a short term "fix" - I like our "new" moves better than what the Eagles are trying

we should be doing things like finding, developing and especially keeping players more

HOPEFULLY Chris Neild is a part of the new look Redskins' remake - out with the old, in with the new

Yeah, I missed that too

Put this guy in the lineup this week.... WE NEED more sacks and pressure on QB. This weeks VICTIM..........Corn on the Kolb...!!!

I am sure Chris Neild anchored (NT) the WV defense last year and I think WV defense was ranked #5 in the nation.

he appears to be a very solid backup .....maybe play him at DE?

Y'all could just read the exclusive article I did with him a few weeks ago, and then you'd know a litttle more about the guy.

I've seen this guy's talent from the get go.

could he play some DE where JJ was playing?

I don't think so. He's actually a proto-typical nose... Road grader with a low center of gravity that eats up blocks. He's a tad undersized for a typical 3-4 NFL NT, but Haslett actually likes to run a lot of stunts, and he's perfect for Haslett's D.

I don't think he has the lateral quickness to move to DE though.

Is this the one Boss? Good read:

thanks for the info

Chris Neild is the Cinderella story of this year, last year it was AA. =)

We seem to find gems in the rough to complement solid picks. I likey.
