College guys to watch

NBT · #1 09-24-2008, 05:09 PM

Let's see if I've got it right, in no particular order: Will/Mike LB, another RB, a QB, an OG (r or l ?), TE big, good receiving one, oh yeah, my favorite, a big speed rushing RDE, and just for luck, an OC to replace Meyers.

While I'm talking about it, I want a DC who can call a good defensive game plan, unlike Richard Smith.

Anything I've left off?

As always, we need to run the heck out of the ball, and stop the run (for a change!).

I like where you are going.... although its hard to not find a hole. And I was very serious when I mentioned the defensive coordinator for the Hurricanes earlier in this thread. He has a solid track record.... Kansas last year, USC before that and I believe OU before that. He was a big hire by Miami this year.

As for the team, they have NO identity, whatsoever. Personally speaking, I would start on the defensive side with Maualuga in round one, then try to find some more intimidating players to go along with him to add to Mario.

I can't argue with your first round choice, and with the way we are playing, we might just have the top 5 draft choice it would take to get him. Either Maualaga or Laurinatis would be fine with me, moving DeMeco out to the Will.

The reason I like Rey Rey is because of the 'tude he would bring with him. He is brash and we have not had that here. Laurinatis is not a brash type player, solid but not what I am looking for. I truly believe we need a young brash leader.

After watching USC get wooped by Oregan State I have officially put Clay Mathews on my watch list. For thise of you who dont know he is the son of former NFL (Cleveland Browns) linebacker Clay Mathews and nephew of Bruce Mathews former Houston Oilere Lineman. Clay Mathews Sr was one of the best to ever play. But that has nothing to do with why i'll be watching him. He was all over the field and made several big plays, even blocked a field goal.

The upcomeing game Georgia vs Alabama has 2 players I havent got to see yet but really want to watch.

Alabama junior DT Terrence ’Mount’ Cody (#62, 6-4, 365), a mountainous - he’s listed at 365 but could actually weigh as much as 385 pounds - junior college transfer who has been almost unblockable through the early part of the season.

And of course RB Moreno of Georgia.

I did not see much 'tude last night from him or any of the other guys on SC. But one game will not drop him a long way, he is still the top of the watch list.

How bad is the injury to Taylor Mays? Bad enough he drops to the 2nd?

Hey bro, you are definitely preaching to the Choir on this one. I think Rey Rey (much easier than saying his last name) would help this defense immensely. But I still want that passrushing DE too.

But on second thought that 'Tude might just land him in hot water. Isn't Rey under indictment or something?

Rey Rey is showing signs that he has anger issues. A lot of the hits in the youtube video would be considered fineable hits in the NFL. Willis never had this kind of track record, and Rey Rey is making me think he using enhancements. No proof, just a hunch.

BTW the arrest is from a few years back, and it appears to be an isolated action. He does play out of control, and that is starting to concern me about him.
