J.D. Skolnitsky, DE Long Shot with Proto Type Size and Speed

T.O.Killa · 05-06-2009, 10:07 PM

I know this is probably just a camp scrub, but I love the physical attributes. Leaves school a year early, because of ineligibility for NCAA violations. Probably better to learn in the pros than at JMU. Maybe a blessing in disguise. Maybe a couple of years of developing and he can be something. He might be our new Buzbee. He also is from the same school that Charles Haley is from.

Pro Day Results:
6-foot, 5 ½ inches, 263 pounds
9-foot, 10-inch broad jump
31 ½ inches in the vertical jump
21 reps on the bench
4.72 in the 40-yard dash (first attempt)
4.76 in the 40-yard dash (second attempt)
4.34 in the shuttle
7.19 in the L-drill

Will be very difficult to make the cut on the D-line this year. He'll probably have to beat out Buzbee and Jackson, which I don't see happening.

Really? Buzbee is coming off a season-ending injury and Jackson aka the Ghost is and probably will always be a non-entity. I'd say the guy has a chance.

Alex Buzbee is a long long shot to make the team. I think they will only keep 4 DE. I think that Daniels and Carter are locks. That leaves two spots. If Orakpo is not considered a linebacker, one spot. I think that Jackson is a lock. I have heard Vinny brag that he is going to be a factor this year. It is not going to be easy for Stolnitski, but who knows.

SFREDSKIN · 05-07-2009, 12:07 AM

He could be the next white Charles Haley in the Practice squad.

Don't forget Lorenzo, who has slimmed down to play more DE.

Isnt it great to be able to have these discussions/debates about depth? I can remember a short time ago when the argument was why and when we would have enough depth the even have a competition...

I did'nt. I figure 4 DE 5 DT. I think he is a lock along with Haynesworth, Montgomery, Golston and Griffin.

I gotta disagree with both points in bold. Buzbee isn't as long of a long shot as you think. Apparently he's been impressive, and my buddy who is a trainer out at Redskins Park says he looks great. On the flip, I hear the Rob Jackson is very far away from being a lock to say the least.

As a JMU alum I can tell you I never thought Skol would be anything on the next level. He has some tools and the right makeup phyiscally but he didn't ever dominate. He's more of a motor guy. Had he not fouled up he would have had a real nice senior year and we'll miss him(JMU that is) but I was surprised he came out of camp with a contract. He just never seemed like he had something for the next level. We'll see. I am guessing his size and tools make him nice camp fodder...maybe he can parlay that into a practice squad spot. He's from Fairfax so his family is near. So that's cool.

If we wanted to really look at the Wildcat then the better JMU alum would have been Landers. I watched the guy for 3 years and I will tell anyone and everyone this. The guy can straight play. He's a bigger stronger version of Edwards(from App State) I know TB is interested in him in the secondary but I always thought he would be a perfect Slot/Wildcat type player. Very much a Kordell Stewart. This past year he threw for like 17 TDs, ran for another 16, Pased for 1700 YDs and ran for 1100. 4 Ints. That's right 33 TDs and 4 Ints. All in the CAA which is universally regarded as the best I-AA conference by a wide margin. Relative to competition he is the best player I have ever seen and it's not even close. Had he gone to VATech he'd have left early and would be starting somewhere in this NFL already. But he wanted to play QB and they wanted him to play Safety/HB/WR. So off to JMU.

I always thought JMU girls were super duper hot. I'll mention that before Haley, Skolnitsky, and Gary Clark.

Can't argue with that line of thinking.

I dated a JMU girl briefly during the summer right after I graduated from high school. She was a year older. I met some of her friends from JMU as well. Needless to say I wish I had visited Harrisonburg before I applied to colleges.
