Why Tariq Woolen should win Defensive Rookie of the Year (DROY) | Film Room

[@Shadowbot074]

Brings a damn tear to my eye seeing a CB picking off the ball again in Seattle

[@SmokeBurp]

RIP Dave Brown

[@thizlam4810]

It’s crazy how Tariq was converted from WR to CB like Richard Sherman was and they were picked 1 spot away from each other. Tariq is a taller, faster, more gifted Richard Sherman. Sherman has also been in the Seahawks facility kinda mentoring Tariq and giving him tips and knowledge. He could be a special player for years to come, and I’m more than excited about it.

[@A-Known-Enemy]

Also worth mentioning he's tied for first in the NFL with 2 fumble recoveries, as well as a field goal block.

[@A-Known-Enemy]

And he'd be the lowest draft pick to win DROY since 1981, no one drafted past the 3rd round has won it since the guy before Lawrence Taylor.

[@ckobo84]

Wonder if he'll play some offense at some point? With his size, speed and hands you'd want to use him on Hail Mary attempts I'd think.

[@Messup7654]

@@ckobo84he used to play wr in high school and college but that’s when he switched

[@nikolatesla5553]

It would be staggering if Tariq Woolen won NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The Award on average goes to the 11th overall.pick. Most Award winners were top ten picks. The latest pick since 1967 when they started giving out the Award was the #63 pick. Woolen was taken with the 153rd pick! This is like winning the lottery.

[@SeahawksPharmD]

He doesn’t deserve DROY, he deserves DPOY 😎

Thank you Sam. Been watching u break down film for more than 3 years.!! Also much appreciated showing Seattle love. This kid Woolen is a stud. And highly underrated.

[@michaelconstantinemiranda2352]

This year's class of CB is probably the best the draft has produced. There are atleast 5 that has legit probowl/all-pro potential. Woolen, Sauce, Stingley, Elam from the Bills, and Jack Jones from NE. Then there's also Emerson in Cle and Kendricks with the rams, both looks solid and are can be long time starters moving forward

[@brandonthomas6862]

Also keep in mind Woolen only just started playing corner. He's a WR convert just like Sherm so that means he has a lot more room to develop. Which should scare the shit out of the NFL.

[@helotesroadrunner2612]

Great video. At UTSA, most opponents made the wise decision not to pass in his direction. He's gotta be the DROY.

[@tigerhawklabs5033]

Love this analysis! As a big fan of Tariq's college film, I'm really happy to see him succeeding at the NFL level.

[@mkneesh]

Great video. Hoping for a Kenneth walker breakdown if he keeps showing out.

[@sargejr51]

Saw this kid in person at UTSA and he balled out. Just looked different and played at a higher level than anyone else. I was ecstatic when we got him. Knew he'd be good, but not this good, not this early!

[@Smilodon_ex]

I would give it to sauce since he’s the cb1 and guarding the wr1 both really good corners

[@rubenkb2441]

Tariq the cb1 and guarding the wr1 too but yeah they both really good

[@Thingpng]

Gardner's gonna get it because he's more popular just because of his nickname and the fact that the jets are using his skill to their advantage whereas the seahawks won't put Woolen on the number 1 wr for opposing teams.

[@lilsavdabest]

The fact that Woolen got pass defenses on 25% of his passes and averaged an interception for every 10 passes thrown his way and got MUCH better stats with 20 fewer targets to him Woolen played head and shoulders above Sauce lmao get off the dudes dick and watch football for once. Sauce averaged ONE interception EVERY 45 passes thrown his way and only defended passes on 20% of those attempts. Woolen literally did twice as much and was targeted less. There is no reality that Sauce was better than Woolen. Get off the dudes dick and open your eyes.

[@lilsavdabest]

Also you are wrong, against Seattle Sauce was only covering DK half the time, he did not stay lined up against the #1 receiver he mostly just played on the one side. He played zone 85% of the time and when corners are in zone defenses statisticians do NOT count that as giving up receptions. Sauce in the 3 games I watched was holding on nearly EVERY play and I was yelling at the refs asking how they could be so blind, Sauce is ridiculously over rated and you sauce dick riders are fucking weird.

[@ATPFLAME]

He is a beast

[@bethpagechris8032]

Woolen is really good! But Sauce has shut down Cooper, Chase, Tyreek, Diggs, and Deontae. Also thanks for DJ Reed! He is absolutely incredible and I can't figure at his cost and leadership why you guys let him walk.

[@kevinh429]

Honest question Sam, how did you learn so much about schemes and positional techniques?

[@lilsavdabest]

It's common knowledge really. 😂 He probably played or was at least on a team. I used to memorize playbooks, since I was 11 I studied playbooks, if I grew past 5'5 I would have been in the NFL. I broke a record in school jumping 43.5 inches off the ground from a standing position with no build up, just squat down and jump up, that is literally higher than 90% of professional athletes can jump. I have spent my entire life learning football schemes and have almost become a coach about 12 times. 😂 Really anyone obsessed with the game is going to know a lot about schemes. I learned how to read defenses from playing madden and I am constantly yelling at quarterbacks for reading defenses wrong in real life. In school I played receiver and safety, I had the playbook memorized within 2 days.

[@makotomoya]

Where did you get the stats (Yds / Cov snap 1:15) from?

[@ckobo84]

The best athlete to play the position since Deion.

[@VMan29397]

Nope

[@frankl3518]

I know this is easy to say now, but trust me I felt the same way around the draft. Idk if he had off field issues. I know he went to a small school. But how he fell to the 5th is insane to me. I'm not saying he should've went 1st or 2nd round even (tho hindsight he should've) but how a team wasn't willing to spend a 3rd or 4th on him is baffling. His size and speed are literally prefect for the position.

[@DrRish-wx3wf]

A Cornerback winning DPOY is like The Glove getting the DPOY in the 95-96 season in the NBA. GO SEAHAWKS, MARINERS, GONZAGA and THE EWU EAGLES all PACIFIC NORTHWEST teams

Scheme. There is your answer.

@@WHlSKYx that's not an answer to my question. I want to see his failure in video form

[@WHlSKYx]

@@HawkLad it does answer your question. It's the scheme. He's sitting in the pocket trying to throw it. There's hardly any play action, roll outs ect. As everyone always says RW has never been able to see his first read. If you want to be niave about it so be it. I watch film as much as other guys like Sam. You'll see kiddo

A great video, but not convincing for me-other than SEA does great at drafting long CBs in the 5th round. You did not address who is seeing the most action, or who is spending more time matched up against WR1s, or what if any effect game scripts have, or if there is any difference in their ability in tackling or run support. Lastly, you failed to address any of his other competition, whether at CB, Edge, or other. Nice try, but no sale.
