Solon16 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Don't get me wrong...I'd love Curry but Haven't seen him play ILB....WE have a crater size hole in the middle. But at this Point.... do think , Any LB is better than what we have as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aloysius Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Don't get me wrong...I'd love Curry but Haven't seen him play ILB....WE have a crater size hole in the middle. I don't think that's much of a concern. Guys like Jon Beason & Demeco Ryans played OLB in college, yet they've become excellent 4-3 MLB's in the NFL. And we drafted Beau Bell to play 3-4 ILB last year despite the fact that he primarily played weakside linebacker at UNLV. Size, style of play, and hand usage are much better determinants of whether a guy can play 3-4 ILB. It'd be nice to see Curry play ILB, but I don't think it's necessary based on how good he looks playing SLB (and some 9 technique, which is similar to 3-4 OLB).

Guest Aloysius Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Interesting profile of FSU DE-OLB Everette Brown: Just ask his defensive coordinator, Mickey Andrews, who said Brown might be having one of the best seasons by a defensive end in the history of the program. "He has a great burst," Andrews said. "He gets off the ball really well. He gets a good jump. Running a 4.5 (40-yard dash) doesn't hurt him. We have backs who don't do that — defensive backs . . . He got stronger this summer, really worked on his strength, and I think you see a more determined player right now than you did last year, too. That is a very strong compliment for him." The former basketball player now bench-presses 500 pounds, which means he now has numerous ways to make an offensive lineman look silly. He can speed rush past them, he can bull-rush them into the quarterback, or he could use a lightning-quick spin move that leaves them blocking air. "On the basketball court, I was a big spinner," Brown said. "I used to think I was Magic Johnson." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Fan Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Okrapo or Curry with our 1st pick, who ever is still on the board. Rashad Johnson (Bama safety) next: smart kid, quick & can tackle in the open field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
