Not really whining...I think he is just saying what a lot of us were thinking.

Lot of positions of need but the Bengals obviously went with what they thought was BPA. [color=#ff0000]Not really disappointed as much as surprised.[/color]

The Brandon Thompson pick kind of compounded the 2nd round pick's confusion.

Gotta love Hayes' quote though...."helps us break the will of people"

All these fresh guys coming in constantly against a worn down Oline combined with Hall/Kirkpatrick could be exciting to see unfold in the 4th quarter

Thank you.

[b]MARVIN LEWIS[/b]

[b]Initial comments:[/b]
[b]ML:[/b] “I’m down here again with good pleasure. [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/devon-still/61a7bb49-457d-45a8-a078-138b9a64a522/"]Devon Still[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url] really fits for us right now. He’s another young guy with an opportunity to come in here and solidify our front. He’s played and been very productive throughout his career. He’s had games where he’s basically just taken over the football game. Now the challenge is, obviously, to do it at this level. He’s got the speed and the athleticism to do that, and the size and the strength to be able to do it. We’ve just got to keep going with him. He’s a big man, and he’ll continue to grow and get bigger and stronger. He’s been a good worker there (at Penn State). So we’re really pleased to add another guy to add some inside depth. One of the areas we felt like we really wanted to continue to shore up was to make sure we fit well with our tackle rotation. Last year, when Pat (Sims) got touched up a little bit, we felt like we took a little step back in that way. Devon will help us with that.”

[b]Do you see him strictly as a defensive tackle? Will he play any at defensive end?[/b]
[b]ML:[/b] “He’s a tackle. He’s an inside guy who has been a good rusher. He’s played vertically a lot. He gets off the ball well. He uses his hands. He’s a big, long guy, with a good athletic stance, and he’s a good knee-bender.”

[b]You got to see him in person last year, when your son, Marcus (plays for Indiana State), played at Penn State:[/b]
[b]ML:[/b] “I got to see him in person in the fall (laughs).”

[b]He’s a relative of former Pittsburgh Steelers LB Levon Kirkland, right?[/b]
[b]ML:[/b] “Yeah, I saw that. I read that when we were going through the whole deal. One of his cousins is Levon. Good bloodlines. Another good second-round pick.”

[b]He was a four-year guy at Penn State, right?[/b]
[b]ML:[/b] “Yeah.”

[b]So then you feel like he’s a mature guy who can come in and handle being a pro?[/b]
[b]ML:[/b] “Yeah. He stayed in last year, instead of coming out. He’s been there for four years. And obviously we know the quality of the program there.”


Defensive line coach [b]JAY HAYES[/b]

[b]Initial comments:[/b]
[b]JH:[/b] “We’re very excited about getting Devon Still from Penn State — defensive tackle. We look forward to working him in with our guys and getting him in the rotation.”

[b]What’s his biggest strength?[/b]
[b]JH:[/b] “I would say he’s a good pass rusher for a defensive tackle. He has athletic ability, quickness and can slip blocks. Those types of things. He has a lot of upside to him. That’s what you’re betting on with him.”

[b]Did he play in the Senior Bowl?[/b]
[b]JH:[/b] “He did not. He’s also Art Still (DE for Kansas City from 1978-87)'s cousin — a pretty good player.”

[b]This is the second time in three years that you guys have spent a second-round pick on a defensive lineman (other was [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/carlos-dunlap/4a065377-8081-4dc1-a80f-daf22d74ba67/"]Carlos Dunlap[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url] in 2010):[/b]
[b]JH:[/b] “Yeah. Whenever they give them to me, that’s when I take them. I’m not picky.”

[b]How important was it for you to have that four-player rotation at DT, like you’ve had for the last few years but lost with the departures of Frostee Rucker and Jonathan Fanene?[/b]
[b]JH:[/b] “We’ve had success taking guys in the second round, in the third round, in the fourth round, and we’ve had success with guys in the seventh. Domata (Peko) was a fourth-rounder, Junior ([url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/robert-geathers/df33bdf1-58ad-48e6-9099-dd89edc34d0e/"]Robert Geathers[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url]) was a fourth-rounder, Geno (Atkins) was a fourth rounder. The second-round guy that we’ve had has been Carlos Dunlap, and he’s done well for us. The third-round guys — Frostee and Pat. It just depends on how the days go during the draft. Some days you end up getting guys at this juncture of the draft. They just have to go out there and put their best foot forward as they get here.”

[b]Were you surprised he was still available at pick 53?[/b]
[b]JH:[/b] “This is about where I thought he would go, personally. But what do I know (laughs)?”

[b]Were you surprised Devon Still was still available at pick No. 53?[/b]
[b]JH:[/b] “This is about where I thought he would go, personally, but what do I know?”

[b]What does he need to work on the most?[/b]
[b]JH:[/b] “Being consistent, making the switch from the college game to the NFL, learning how to be a pro and do this day in and day out for hopefully 20-plus weeks — the things that you have to do to be a productive guy. And, to be able to accept his role, whatever that may be, whether it’s coming in and playing 15 or 20 plays, or coming in and playing 40. Where we’ve had success most recently is where we’re rolling guys through and having everyone giving maximum effort. At Penn State, they did not do a lot of rolling, so he played all the time. Hopefully, with the strong group we have, it will help his play and understanding of what a defensive line — what a group — can do to people. We have a good understanding of that right now. We have strong, strong leadership in our room, and they don’t like when people don’t do things the right way. They’ll take young guys under their wing and show them the right way to do things. Guys like (Robert Geathers), who is going into his ninth year with me — and he’s still 29 years old —he is one of the best professional football players I’ve ever been around when it comes to understanding what it’s like and what you have to do to be a counted-on guy. [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/domata-peko/5a38a4b5-78a2-4c57-87c9-c03c2ce23719/"]Domata Peko[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url] is the same way. They will drag guys kicking and screaming to where they need to be. Eventually, they’ll get it.”

[b]How do you feel about the defensive line at this point in the offseason?[/b]
[b]JH:[/b] “That remains to be seen. Those guys are good pros and they understand. They’ve been on a couple teams, so they know the importance of giving effort and doing what you’re supposed to do to be a part of a group. I look forward to working with Jamaal (Anderson) and Derrick (Harvey) —getting them in with the guys, getting them working. We’ll just have to see how everybody fits and go from there.”

[b]Did Devon Still match up against Wisconsin G [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/kevin-zeitler/6872c3b8-cf27-4731-bfae-bcae68fb85a8/"]Kevin Zeitler[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url] (a Bengals first-round draft pick) in the film you watched?[/b]
[b]JH:[/b] “I can’t recall. I don’t remember if they’ve played each other or not. I’ve watched him against a bunch of people, but I can’t remember if I’ve watched him against Wisconsin. I’m sure they played each other at some point during their careers.”

[b]How is Devon Still as a run stopper?[/b]
[b]JH:[/b] “He’s shown flashes, to be honest with you. He’s shown flashes of being a big-time player. Some people had this guy in the first round. Some people say, ‘Hey, if he’s done it once, he can do it a bunch of times.’ So we’re fixing to find out. I’m sure he will. As you get older, we all know you get bills and babies and start getting responsibilities, and things happen.”

[b]You’ve been able to get a lot of guys who weren’t known for having high motors coming out of the draft:[/b]
[b]JH:[/b] “It’s a little bit of the position. Part of it honesty, for example with Devon, is he did not come out of games. People say, if you remember back with Haloti Ngata, people used to say when he was coming out, ‘It doesn’t look like he plays hard.’ All of you to a man would say that Haloti Ngata plays hard right now, right? So it’s maturity. And I am very persuasive, if you haven’t noticed.”

[b]Any time you get a big guy like Devon Still in this division, it’s got to help:[/b]
[b]JH:[/b] “In our division, if you don’t, they’re going to take their man-card from you if you don’t man up. So if you don’t want to get embarrassed, you better start playing, because these guys are serious. Like coach (Marvin) Lewis likes to say, ‘They’re playing mean.’”

[b]Adding a 300-pounder should help you:[/b]
[b]JH:[/b] “It’s a good thing. It’s a good thing. As my father used to say, ‘The cream rises to the top.’ If you’re doing it right, you’ll go to the top. Hopefully that’s what he’ll do. Competition — it’s good for everybody, right? Hopefully.”


[b]DEVON STILL[/b]

[b]What was it like having to wait until the second day to be picked?[/b]
[b]DS:[/b] “It was exciting, but it was also hard. I expected to be an early-round draft pick. But whether I was picked early or picked with the last pick of the draft, it’s a great opportunity to play in the NFL, and I’ll take the challenge head on.”

[b]What do you know about the Bengals?[/b]
[b]DS:[/b] “I know a lot about the Bengals. I’ve watched the AFC North a lot because they play the Pittsburgh Steelers, who were my favorite team growing up. It’s a hard-hitting conference, and every game is like a playoff game. I’m looking forward to playing for the Bengals and helping them get to the Super Bowl.”

[b]What’s it like playing for one of the Steelers division rivals now?[/b]
[b]DS:[/b] “It’s a good feeling. At the end of the day, this is a job. I’ll do everything I can to help the Bengals beat any team we play.”

[b]What’s your biggest strength?[/b]
[b]DS:[/b] “Living in the backfield. I try to do as much as I can to make it hard on the opposite team’s offensive coordinator. I’ll take that attitude into the NFL and hopefully flourish as one of the best defensive tackles in the league.”

[b]Do you think it’s fair that some people say that your talent didn’t show until your senior year?[/b]
[b]DS:[/b] “It’s fair, because everyone has their own opinion. I was injured two consecutive years and I missed both years. After my sophomore year, I improved each year. I wouldn’t say I didn’t use my talent until my senior year — it’s more that I didn’t have the opportunity to learn the college game as other players did.”

[b]What were the injuries?[/b]
[b]DS:[/b] “I tore my ACL in 2007 and broke my ankle in 2008.”

[b]How do you think the adversity you went through at Penn State will help you in the NFL?[/b]
[b]DS:[/b] “You will always face adversity. You don’t know what’s going to come. You have to be able to handle it. Just like this weekend, when I expected to be an early pick. I have to deal with what happened and make the best of this opportunity. I think it’s a great opportunity to play for the Bengals.”

[b]Why is it a great opportunity?[/b]
[b]DS:[/b] “Because they have a great defense. Every time I saw them, their defense caused the other team problems. Just to be a man on the defense and in the rotation ... hopefully I can give them what they need to get them to the Super Bowl.”

[b]You played a lot of the snaps at Penn State. Do you think playing 15 to 20 snaps in the NFL will help you adjust to the league?[/b]
[b]DS:[/b] “I think so. At Penn State, I probably average 60 or more plays per game. That’s a lot of plays, especially at the college level and in the Big Ten. I think playing less snaps will help my joints out and allow me to make more of an impact.”

[b]Do you think people question the motors of big guys who play a lot of snaps?[/b]
[b]DS:[/b] “From experience, playing a lot of plays ... (inaudible) ... Being a professional football player, you have to learn to do that. Teams are making an investment in you for a reason.”

[b]You have a family history of successful NFL players. What’s it like to be part of that now?[/b]
[b]DS:[/b] “Like you said, I have a bloodline of NFL players. Hopefully I’ll make an impact like my cousins did. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to help my family keep going.”

[b]Your cousin, Levon Kirkland, played for Marvin Lewis in Pittsburgh, right?[/b]
[b]DS:[/b] “Yes he did. He played outside linebacker.”

[b]Have you talked to him about Marvin at all?[/b]
[b]DS:[/b] “Actually, I haven’t had a chance to talk to him. We don’t stay in contact.”

[b]Did you make a visit to Cincinnati or have a workout?[/b]
[b]DS:[/b] “No. I only met with the Bengals at the combine. We haven’t talked since then. That’s why I was so surprised that they selected me.”

[oldschooler]

[b] Overall Football Traits[/b]


Production 2
"2007: Redshirt. 2008: (3/0) 2009: (13/1) - 19-5.5-2 2010: (13/12) - 39-10-4 2011: (13/13) -- 55-17-4.5 (one FF and one PBU) "

Height-Weight-Speed 2
Long frame and arm length is adequate (33 1/8). Bulk is average but is thickly built. Top-end speed is slightly above-average for size/position. Possesses average hand size (10').


Durability 4

"Tore ACL in left knee during 2007 preseason and Penn State red shirted him. Broke left ankle during 2008 preseason and saw limited action in three games that year. Played in final 39 games at PSU, including 26 starts."

Intangibles 4

"Battled back from substantial injuries early in career. Cousin Levon Kirkland played for the Steelers and cousin Art Still played for the Chiefs. Accused a teammate of stealing cell phone in April of 2008 and teammate later pulled a knife on him. Coaches disarmed the teammate who was dismissed from the team. Police found marijuana residue and drug related items at the apartment Still shared with three teammates in April of 2009. However, all four players were cleared and a visitor that did not attend Penn State was charged at the end of the investigation. Was not allowed to start one game in 2010 because he was late to a team breakfast. Has a daughter. "

[b] Defensive Tackle Specific Traits[/b]


Versus the Run 2

"Big, thick, powerful and has good short-area quickness. He has a quick first-step and can be disruptive when his motor is running hot and when he plays with leverage. Displays a powerful upper body and flashes ability to shed blocks in time to make plays at or behind the line of scrimmage (although he needs to be more consistent in this area). Awareness vs. the run improved in 2011 but still only average. He has a high center of gravity and gives too much ground when pads start to rise, which is too often. Gives up too easily versus double-team. Does a poor job of protecting legs. Gets knocked to the ground too often. "

Pass Rush Skills 3
Flashes a quick first step and can be disruptive when he's going all out. Will occasionally collapse the pocket with initial quickness and power. Adequate club-to-swim move. Tracks the quarterback and gets hands up in passing lanes when given middle draw/screen responsibilities. Gets too high as he works up the field. Not a powerful bull rusher that can consistently collapse the pocket. Narrow base and can get knocked off course by powerful punch. Awareness on play-action is marginal.

Quickness (hands/feet) 2
"Displays the initial quickness and power to penetrate and disrupt. Also flashes ability to out-quick zone blocks. Not a great athlete, though. He's quick enough to establish position but not a disruptive 3-technique that can consistently burst through the B-gap, redirect and make plays in pursuit. Hand usage improved in 2011. Has quick hands for a long-armed DT. Has improved effectiveness of rip and swim moves."

Toughness/Motor 3
"Flashes but doesn't sustain high effort level. Plays like a potential Pro Bowler on some downs and plays like a future NFL reserve on others. Effort versus double-team is inconsistent. Fighting to split it more in 2011 than in 2010, but still is quick on occasion to wave the white flag. "

Scouts Inc has him rated 33rd overall and the 5th best DT.

[url="http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/player/_/id/28182"]Devon Still[/url]


Penn State


DT

[url="http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/teams/_/team/cin/year/2012"]Cincinnati[/url]


[b]What he brings:[/b] The reason Still didn't come off the board in the first round is inconsistent effort. In terms of natural ability, he has everything you're looking for in a defensive tackle. He's quick, he's proven his ability to get off his hands, and he's strong enough to anchor against the run.


[b]How he fits:[/b] He'll play a DT in their base 4-3 defense and a DE when they throw in some 3-4 wrinkles. The Bengals like to use a deep DL rotation and they prefer to attack the QB without a lot of blitzes, although they will as necessary. The thing that makes Still unique is the fact that he has some good inside penetrating skills that can disrupt a quarterback. He's a little bit of a feast-or-famine guy; at his best his inside playmaking will upgrade this DL.




http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/rounds/_/round/2/year/2012

[oldschooler]

[b] Draft Analysis:[/b]

Mayock's take: "The Bengals need a big body behind Geno Atkins who can come in and play on run downs. A lot of people thought a year ago that Still would be a top-20 pick, but his tape is indifferent and inconsistent."

[/list]

[b] Overview[/b]

Still is one of the most NFL-ready interior lineman of this year's senior class and arguably one of the most polished and "safe" picks of the draft. He has massive size to clog lanes on the inside and occupy blocks. Still displays good technique to beat double teams and get to the passer, and the power to bowl over would-be blockers to be disruptive in the backfield. He has been a reliable and productive player throughout his time at Penn State. A team that needs to address its run defense and add a player who will occupy and keep linebackers free in a 4-3 or 3-4 scheme likely will select Still in the middle of the first round as an immediate starter.


[b] Analysis[/b]

[b] Strengths[/b]

Still is a strong player who gets off the line quickly for his size and shows the explosion to blow back offensive guards into their own backfield. He excels as a run defender by using his strength to occupy a blocker while he reads the play and reacts, which is ideal for a nose tackle in a 3-4 defense. He has the ability to use hand technique and footwork to remove himself from blocks and get in the backfield. For a massive nose tackle, he is an above-average pass rusher who can use an array of swim and dip moves to get to the passer.

[b] Weaknesses[/b]

While Still can rush the passer, it is rare that he actually gets there to record the sack, as his athletic ability is rather average once he is in the open field. He works tremendously in tight quarters but doesn't display that quickness or explosion when free. This is true of his play in pursuit, as well. Once the ball gets past him, he usually is done for the play.

[NYbengals]

I like this pick. Before the first Rd. on ESPN, they had all the analysts give their last words and Bill Polian said something along the lines of "Devon Still is going to be a good football player."

And for me, you can never have enough good D-line men. Especially guys that can rush the passer. So from my couch, we drafted BPA and at a position of need.

[b] [size=6]Bengals take Penn State's Devon Still in second round[/size][/b]



In the second round the Bengals took Penn State defensive tackle Devon Still, who was the Big Ten’s Defensive Player of the Year last season. Still, who tied for fifth in the conference with 17 tackles for loss, recorded a career-high 55 tackles and was second on the team with 4.5 sacks.

“He’s another young guy with an opportunity to come in here and solidify our front,” head coach Marvin Lewis said. “He’s had games where he’s basically just taken over the football game. Now the challenge is obviously can he do it at this level.”

Still was as dominant as any defensive player in the nation last year but some wonder if he can do it for more than one year. After being granted a medical redshirt as a true freshman due to a torn ACL in his left knee, Still played in only two games the next year after breaking his left ankle in preseason camp.

When asked if it was a fair assessment that some people thought his talent didn’t show until your senior year, Still didn’t disagree with it.

“It’s fair, because everyone has their own opinion,” Still said. “After my sophomore year, I improved each year. I wouldn’t say I didn’t use my talent until my senior year — it’s more that I didn’t have the opportunity to learn the college game as other players did.”

At Penn State, Still averaged 65 plays a game. He might see a third of that with the Bengals and their defensive line rotation. The scouts’ assessment of Still is that he maintains a low pad level and is quick of his stance which allows him to get by defenders in one-on-one matchups.

“I would say he’s a good pass rusher for a defensive tackle,” defensive line coach Jay Hayes said. “He has athletic ability, quickness and can slip blocks. He has a lot of upside to him. That’s what you’re betting on with him.”

Still is the third member of his family to play in the NFL. His cousins, Art Still and Levon Kirkland, earned All-Pro honors during their careers. Lewis coached Kirkland when he was an assistant with the Steelers.

The press conference with Still-Sanu-Thompson is up on Bengals.com..... but this a comment about what fucking douchebag Reedy is when asking questions of Still. He started it rehashing everything that happened at the end of the year at Penn State....

Then the irony of all douchery is Reedy one of several questions on the topic was: [b]Do you feel like something was taken away from your senior year experience at Penn State (in reference to the pedophile and paterno firing[/b]).

Really Joe? Why don't you let the guy fucking enjoy the moment of being being drafted into the NFL and being a Bengal! Instead of bring up totall fucking bullshit!

Oh and Joe.....

yea I don't see why the penn state situation needed to be brought up at all, at least not in his very first interview as a Bengal. Let him enjoy the feeling of being drafted and save a question like that for a later date, or never at all. It's not like its still a hot topic. It didn't even cross my mind when he was drafted.

Doesn't lack for self-belief does he.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

Asked reedy about it on twitter and he responded to me by saying its not his job to lay out a welcome mat. Reedy just always comes off as a douche
