Manti Te'o runs a 4.81 forty... (1 Viewer)

Maybe we can pick him up in the 3rd

Right, cause we need more slow linebackers.

Wow ... really?

Man, this guy is just falling off the map. Was he so good because they faced so many inferior teams? That can happen in college. I mean, the guy won the Butkus Award for being the best LB in college football this past year. I keep thinking to myself that he absolutely stunk in the Senior Bowl, which is against top players. I'm going to look up ND's opponents and see if I can get a handle on this.

John Harbaugh is unimpressed

Let the catfish stay in the pond.

Give me a couple weeks of training and I could run that..

In all seriousness though, forty doesn't mean all that much. The more important figure would be the 10 yard dash and cone drill. How many linebackers have to run forty yards?

He was giving his girlfriend a piggyback ride.

all too often on this defense the past few years

 

[El Caliente]

What time did his girlfriend run?

I don't know but it was so fast you couldn't see her!

I don't follow college ball much, so I found that Notre Dame played four ranked teams over the course of the season: Oklahoma, Stanford, Michigan, and Alabama. (Michigan was not ranked in the coaches' poll.) The only one they beat handily was Oklahoma, 30-13. Stanford was a 20-13 win in OT. They beat Michigan 13-6. Bama steamrolled them 42-14, in a "championship" game that maybe shouldn't have been. Non-ranked teams held their own against ND as well. Purdue lost by 3, as did BYU and Pittsburgh. So, my point is, was this guy really the best LB in the nation in 2012, or did he just face a lot of inferior talent? I would definitely take him off my "first round" board, especially if his only good games were against inferior teams. That's what I don't like about college football. Team A schedules a few cupcakes, and players get to pad their stats.

I touched on this when i started looking up 3-4 defenses

The scheme tht bob diaco runs is ILB Friendly. Hes been tutored in the scheme the last 3 years so i think hes looked good because of it. However scheme cant protect u against better opponents....hence y he looked so.bad in the bama game

I said he was overrated then...and the bama game revealed him for wat he really was

Normally I'd give you credit for your expertise... But Ray Charles knew what was going to happen to him in that Bowl against Bama!!!! It seems to me the only people who have hyped him up is his girlfriend or lack there of and the media machine who wanted to put him and ND back on the map! The young man would be a waste of a draft pick! IMO!
