How many missed tackles and bad angles did he take in that game? That has nothing to do with Bama. Most of the time he didn't even get touched by a Linemen. Usually they allowed him free run at the RB. He either picked the wrong hole or got juked out or ran over. Lets not even talk about how many times he got burnt form a team that didn't pass the ball a lot.

He had 16 tackles in that game. When a safety has that many, even an SS, there's something wrong with the front 7.

So he supposedly had a bad game against the best team in the land and his 40 time sucks ass. Fine...he'll get drafted late or not drafted at all.

But to limit the vision on players to the combine metrics and one game is ludacris. That will let diamonds in the rough slip through...need to look at the whole body of work. He and his team had a solid defensive year apart from the Bama game.

I don't even want the kid since I think we'll pick safety fairly early on. But he has great size and the smarts to at least make up for some of his speed. Someone will grab him and use him for depth.

      I think Indiana will win it all but Miami should give them a much better fight than Oregon did.

      If you need some ‘chills’ to start your Friday….

      When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
