I went to 6 home games this semester he's not LT. Reggie Bush looked better than LT in college and that hasn't worked out too well.

I don't even know how he's advanced this high the draft. He needs a team with a good RB already in place to do the dirty work. He's not very good inside the tackles.

Yeah, that's a giant load of crap.

I don't know what it is about Clemson players, but they rarely live up to their hype from college. Conversely, many Gamecocks' players have solid careers, yet are relatively anonymous in national coverage and seem to stick on NFL rosters. I don't have a dog in the CU/USC fight, it's just an observation.

Look at some of the big Clemson draftees in recent years: Adams (r.i.p.), Eason and Gardner. None came in and lived up to their hype.

Coversely, not many USC guys have been drafted high, however these guys are dotted all over the league.

Again, just an observation for those people frothing over Spiller and Ford.

Spiller is a lock to be a great returner and a change of pace back in the NFL, but there are legit questions about him being a bell cow back: he's never shown a great desire or ability to get in between the tackles, take his licks and get his 3 yards and he's so-so in pass protection. The good news is bell cow backs seem to be going the way of the dinosaur.

Right now he looks like more of a Felix Jones/Reggie Bush type back rather than an LT, but that could change. I'm not sure he can bulk up all that much and I don't see him having the lower body strength as it is to be a true # 1.

Ryan Matthews is more the complete back in my eyes, but Spiller is too much of a talent for teams to pass up.

Smartest poster ever on the Huddle.

      I did get some coin in on the Knicks to win the whole thing at +3300 immediately after they won game two and before their odds made a huge shift so I'm not mad at this news. I don't expect them to win but I'll probably be able to cash for a good amount if they make the finals.

      Panthers decision to pass on Walker

      Horn and T-Mac will get matched up a lot, but it won't be 100% of the time, nor should it be anything close to that. Yes, it would benefit T-Mac's ability to get better at beating the press, but it would also be a detriment both of them for them to be matched up too much more than 50% of their reps. Neither is likely to end up going up against similar players in games, not many teams have WRs the size of T-Mac and not many teams have CB's with the physicality of Horn.  Horn needs to work on covering smaller shiftier WRs as well, just as T-Mac needs plenty of reps against smaller CBs so he can work on using his frame to body them out of position.

      Tatum tore his Achilles it looks like. At least watching the injury that's what it seems to be. He's probably out all next year and Boston sucks and gets a lottery pick. :insert eye roll here:
