Dennis Gardeck

[RON_IN_OC]

Gardeck does not have close the athletic skill of Simmons or even Reddick but he does have that fanatical energy where late in a game when plays count he can be a factor with a nonstop motor

Gardeck is basically KVB lite.

Not sure if it's been said, but here's what I think about with Gardeck:

thats good

Gardeck is a better athlete than people give him credit for -- it was size, speed, athleticism that got him on the roster

his two pass rushes showed more than just getting lucky

 

[BigRedRage]

Very gritty performance. Total gym rat. I wonder if he's a coach's son?

lol

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Both Gardeck sacks were superb. Both very different but shows good technique and speed on both. Speed and hands on the first and power on the 2nd.

Im really intrigued to see him vs Dallas.

He sacked him with his legs on the first one!

 

[BritCard]

Well he did simply destroy a 300lb tackle on at least 2 dominant bull rushes I saw & shed the OT on his other sack

let’s not forget, pass rushing was his forte in college though at the lower level.

Sure, but there's a big difference in a bullrush where you have the T off balance and holding your ground, shedding a block and keeping contain. That's why I'm interested, I think Gardeck has a very good power to weight ratio. He's a rocked up strong dude for his size and if he can keep his ground and shed blocks then we could be looking at a good OLB in the making.

I hope he is because he's a good dude and it's always great to see a guy work his nuts off to earn a role.

He's going to spend most his time with us injured then go make the Pro Bowl in his first year with another team? Sounds about right actually.

If that happens, i'd might quit watching football. I'd bet my house that wouldn't happen.

yes, I know your post was in jest

My vote for number 1 fan favorite. The guy always leaves it all out on the field and isn’t afraid of being a goofball in front of millions. We need a stadium chant for him.

So he’s what we hoped Cap Cappi would be.

Many years ago, the Golden State Warriors had a guy like Gardeck, Brian Cardinal, us fans liked to call "The Janitor."

lol... Gardeck is a goofball and I kinda love it.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Gardeck is actually a very good athlete. Just read his story on ESPN. He blew it up at the combine but nobody had any idea who he was.

 

[cardpa]

Gardeck is proving to be a nice surprise this season. He may not be top of the list as far as physical traits but he gets the job done.

 

[Yuma]

Over production from what I expected. I hope he can last the whole season at this pace!

Gardeck is actually a very good athlete. Just read his story on ESPN. He blew it up at the combine but nobody had any idea who he was.

Had he competed in this year's combine he would have been one of the 5-7 fastest linebackers with about a 4.5 40 and would have lead all linebackers in bench reps with 31.

 

[GuernseyCard]

Gardeck the Destroyer before he joined the Cards:

''The lovely woman-child Kaa was mercilessly chained to the cruel post of the warrior-chief Beast, with his barbarian tribe now stacking wood at her nubile feet, when the strong clear voice of the poetic and heroic Gardeck the Destroyer roared,

"Flick your Bic, crisp that chick, and you'll feel my steel through your last meal.' ''

That speed and strength ratio is why his bull rush is so effective

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Would just worry if he can set the edge

I don't know if this 'barbarian' is legit but one thing for sure from her mannerisms since he became a topic... Lisa has the hots for him, seriously she gets all bubbly when he's mention lol

 

[BritCard]

I was disappointed Vance only gave him about 15 snaps vs the Cowboys. Was the perfect game to give him more when up big.

The few snaps he played he flashed so doesn't make much sense.

It seemed like those snaps went to Simmons. He got 18, mostly in the 4th.

Not if you consider he was dealing with an injury leading up into the game which showed up on the injury report... another reason why you have to like the guy
