bushwacked Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Big salary, tiny performance, bad penalties. Good riddanceI'd rather have Tapp Not sure what salary we are dealing with for Clemons, but the initial feel from Seattle fans is that a 4th round pick for Tapp is fair value. He is a situational role player that showed flashes of potential but could never establish himself as a consistent pass rusher. Maybe he will perform better with Cole on the other side, but Tapp has yet to prove he is anymore than a role player. Agreed.Tapp is that player they've been looking for to free up Cole on pass rushing downs. Based on his 2.5 sacks in 16 games last year?

Way too much for a guy who only plays ST and gets personal fouls called covering kicks. At least Tapp can get on the field with the defense. Clemons isn't even a role-player, he's marginal NFL talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwacked Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Tapp has a great motor, but he is small and typically gets swallowed by OTs. Maybe the Philly scheme will improve his play and I'm sure his potential to be an effective role player is probably better than the throw in provided with the draft pick. I'm just hearing a lot of favorable off season hype from the Philly homers for a guy who never really produced that much on the field and continually fell behind on the Seattle depth chart the last couple seasons.

Seahawks21 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 This was all about the 4th round pick and I think it was an absolute steal for the Seahawks. Darryl Tapp is just a guy. You could draft a Tapp in the 6th round. He is so bad that we had to use a 1st round pick on a DE two years ago for Lawrence Jackson. Jackson has been awful and still played circles around Tapp. Tapp is a guy that you have to take off the field on running downs. He is basically a pass-rushing specialist that can't rush the passer. If he gets any significant playing time at all I will be more than shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medal of Honor Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 I haven't looked at his stats, but my impression was that Jackson improved DRASTICALLY last year. The whole team was awful, but he had more bright spots than most of that dismal defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole team was awful, but he had more bright spots than most of that dismal defense. Five games into the season, it looked like he had turned the corner. Then after that, he completely shut down, and literally didn't make one single play the rest of the season. And still was better than Tapp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwacked Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpag...NFL&id=3707 Eagles DE Darryl Tapp is currently the fifth of five defensive ends projected to make the team's final roster, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane. McLane thinks that if the Eagles hadn't given up so much to get Tapp (Chris Clemons and a fourth-round pick), he could be cut. When he was acquired in March, Tapp looked to be a starter, but then the Eagles drafted Brandon Graham and have watched Tapp get outplayed by Juqua Parker and Daniel Te'o-Nesheim so far in camp.

Seahawks21 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Clemons has been very impressive as a Hawk early on this season. Yeah, DE was supposed to be the worst position on the entire team, but both Clemons and Red Bryant have been absolute playmakers. I'm still trying to figure out how Clemons has played for so many teams and was acquired so cheaply. He looks like he is a somewhat gifted pass-rusher. At this point it wouldn't surprise me at all if he ends up with double-digit sacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
