Where do you get the team needs from?


It literally says right at the bottom of the team needs. 😂

He was great in college, but I don't think he will pan out in the pros. He takes risks instead of playing his assignment, and it works when you are the most athletic on the field, but he won't be in the NFL. I have watched him as much as anyone I'm sure being a Michigan fan and watching every game.


Oh I agree completely. I even literally mentioned that exact same reason why I don't want him to get drafted by GB if he falls.

There's something to be said about taking risks and playing off instinct. Some of the best players historically have been the gambling types.

He gets away with it because he is a man playing with boys in college if you will. He is a ball hawk, I just personally don't think he will transfer over and be much more than mediocre. He's definitely not going to dominate in a professional game the way he has in college games.

And Brian Dawkins. I could provide a more extensive list if I did a quick Google search but fuck it.

That's possible. I haven't watched the film.

I'm not saying im right, that's just my take on him. I would like to be wrong and wish him well because he's a Michigan man and a stud.

Yes, but in terms of ballhawking safeties Polamalu isn't the first thing that springs to my mind. He was more of a force of nature on the field.

I hope you're right in your instincts unless the Raiders draft him.
