With the first month of the NFL season already in the books, the league is now handing out a variety of awards.

The NFL defensive rookie of the month is Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan.

The 16th overall pick in the draft, Kerrigan has 13 tackles, five quarterback pressures, 1.5 sacks, a forced fumble, two passes defensed, and an interception that he returned for a touchdown.

Kerrigan and Bryan Orakpo quickly have become one of the top pairs of outside linebackers in the NFL.

Lions would have never drafted Kerrigan anyway.

Kerrigan is in the exact spot he needs to be successful.

 

[dannydiggler]

If he were a lion he would just be a cliff clone

 

[tsmith7559]

he's a pure 3-4 OLB.....pssst we dont play a 3-4

 

[dannydiggler]

So was cliff....

 

[dtroitlionsfan951]

to me kerrigan was a kvb clone not a cliff clone..theres been lots of 4-3 de's like him who have done well

 

[tsmith7559]

Danny Diggler[/color]]So was cliff....

Cliff was a Millen pick....NUFF said

 

[dannydiggler]

I'm not vouching for him.. People on the old board DID want him. Just saying he's exactly the same player as cliff.

great pick also...not an Avril fan but go look at the draft board..he's had the most success of anyone drafted after him in the 3rd and 4th rounds until the next Lions pick in that draft.

Just wondering what you see in him that has you thinking they would've never draft him?

He fits a 3-4 D, why would Schwartz/Mayhew take a player that isnt a great fit for their scheme and try to mold him into what they want.

Thats what Millen did, our new staff finds players that fit our systems.

are you serious ?

he's a tweener , best suited in a 3 -4.....the Lions were also 4 deep at DE heading into the draft....DT was a need pick considering the 4 man rotation Schwartz wanted to run ( Fairley was a gift ).
