Carroll denies it.

[quote=SFREDSKIN;543123]Cowherd mentioned on the radio yesterday that at the USC pro-day earlier this week, that Matthews stole the show in the LB workout.[/quote]

I'm becoming a bigger fan of Matthews all the time.

Dude you're up late... i don't really think we're takin a LB @ 13 now do you?

Re: Which USC linebacker would you like the most and why?
 

Yeah 53 get some rest man! And even if we were to draft a LB it wouldn't be Clay M.

Probably right...we keep hearing Cushing but I still think we take one of the top OTs if available. It would make for a more interesting day if all four top OTs were already gone by 13...could be very interesting.

I agree Goat, I could bet seriously 1 of the 4 OT's will be available when we pick, and it's most likely Smith, though he is arguably the best of the 4, [B]but[/B] his work ethic and attitude have pushed him to the bottom. If all of them go though it will be amusing to say the least.

Damn Vallin. Are we going to have to make another bet? :) Who knows what we'll do. I'm surprised every year. If we do take a LB, I'd bet it would be Maualuga or Matthews. I think I'll take you up on that rest thing now. Later guys.

Hey Goat, it's only 10:45 out here at Flathead Lake Montana. Me and my girl decided to go camping and....s**t....hold on... there's a mountain lion outside my tent.....okay..it's alright, the grizzly bear chased him away. Anyway...D***it!.. Kelli! Go chase that moose away from the car honey. Sorry Goat. Anyway, who knows? If the top o-linemen are gone, why not take a LB? Ahhh look...cute. Honey take my picture standing by the little bear cubs..........

Yeah I agree with you 53 on both points. It's either Maualuga or Matthews that we take at 13 no bets on this one :), and now I'm going to take my own advice and get some sleep.

:silly: U should really just get a hotel next time...that's usually what I do.

Re: Which USC linebacker would you like the most and why?
 

Ok this just makes no sense. ESPN lists Rey's durability the same as Cushing's (4) even though Rey has missed just a fraction of the time Cushing has. What gives?

Re: Which USC linebacker would you like the most and why?
 

I don't think we like Cushing at all, because if we did we would be drafting fools and one thing I can say is that we do draft well in the first round.

Clay Matthews will prove to be the better of the bunch. Period,

His athleticism gives him the better upside. He can cover better than Cushing and Rey. Mike Mayock said that he looked like a safety out there in his drop drills. The SAM LB will be covering the TE most of the time, and we want/need an athlete there. Our SLB needs to be able to cover Witten and other TE's.

HE can rush the passer as a DE if need be as well, so be brings versatility as well.

Matthews = This year's JOrdy Nelson

The WLB covers the TE usually, the WLB is the safety like LB and the SLB is like a DE

[quote=Nflnick11;543281]The WLB covers the TE usually, the WLB is the safety like LB and the SLB is like a DE[/quote]Well, the WLB is only a WLB when he lines up on the weakside, which is determined by where the Tight End [B]isn't[/B]. Normally he ends up responsible for a slot receiver or a running back in zone coverage, or the fullback or running back in man coverage.
