OhiO**FalcOn 2 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 If he is there with the 24th (which i think he will be) we have to take him. He plays a **** of a lot faster than his 40 time and started out as a wlb for the bucks and tore it up. I actually think he would have been a top 5 pick if was kept on the outside..... His value is worth the 24th pick and he is a playmaker we really need a lb.feedback plz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

#1 pick 440 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 James L= Keith Brooking I rather have the next Dan Morgan (Cushing) if healthy or the next Brian Urlacher (Matthews) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hakim24 110 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 JL plays similar to Boley.... both are better in coverage. neither get off blocks well and JL is much slower than anybody anticipated. This guy has bust written ALL over him if he tries to play WLB in cover 2.If you were disappointed with Boley.... you do NOT want JL. its as simple as that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He did just fine in the cone drills at the combine. If he fell to us in the second round, I would totally take a flier on him. Connor ran slow last year and dropped like a rock... I don't see Lauranites dropping quite like that, but if we were able to draft Delmas in the first and Lauranites in the 2nd I would be happy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mad jab 0 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I think the combine exposed his inability to flip the hips smoothly and fluidly. No thank you. Rather get cushing mathews or even freeman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Falcons 'til Death 140 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 TD has said that a player has had a bad Combine wont rise or fall much on their draft board. If indeed JL was high on their list prior to the Combine they'd still probably take him.I would love it if he'd fall to our 1st round pick because I don't think Cushing is going to be there.

trucking 12 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 i like clint sintim better. he has done more for his team than the 3 usc boys. he has twice as many sacks and more tackles for lost. you got to be very skillfull and possess the proper technics to be able to collect that many sacks as an outside linebacker. even larry enlish didn't have that many sacks. lawrence taylor had lest career sacks than sintim when he played in college. sintim is special and i hope we draft him.sintim's stats:games-12tackles-70tfl____13sacks_11cushing's stats:games_13tackles_73tfl_____10.5sacks_3matthew's stats:games_13tackles_56tfl_____9sacks_4.5maualuga's stats:games_12tackles_79tfl_____2.5sacks_0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

muskokas finest © 7,580 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 James L= Keith Brooking I rather have the next Dan Morgan (Cushing) if healthy or the next Brian Urlacher (Matthews)Dan Morgan is a good comparison, cause that's the knock on Cushing, that he is maxed out physically and his body might not hold up given his style of play.

If Lauranites can emulate that I would be all for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
texasbirdfan 18 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 take him in the late, late 2nd or 3rd only Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see Lauranites dropping quite like that, but if we were able to draft Delmas in the first and Lauranites in the 2nd I would be happy.You are comparing JL to Conner, a guy that still displayed more speed that JL and is currently a backup at MLB. JL is not a good enough athlete to play OLB. Despite the value you would get with him in the second round, what good would it do if he is a MLB like Curtis Loften? So you want 2 second round picks at MLB when only one guy can play at a time?I like Cushing more than Matthews, but I would rather have one of those guys or Tyrone McKenzie at OLB instead of JL. There have been numerous guys that are big time in college and just did not have the athletic ability to transfer over to the NFL. I'm not saying I don't think JL can play, but his workouts did not surprise me, he is a MLB and needs to stay there if he hopes to have an NFL career. The Falcons need too much on D to experiment with him on the outside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flrybranch 64 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I really don't want to see the Falcons use the #24 on a LB. I don't see any that I really would pick. Cushing comes with his own medical staff, Matthews MAY be very good, but he still has ?? for me, JL may need some time to adjust to the pro game and I don't think he has enough speed to play OLB in a cover 2.I'd rather the Falcons grab Jerry if availalbe or even get the OC from Cal than one of the LBs.

David TTU 228 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Bring an Ohio St. product home says the man living in Ohio. LOL. He sucks and will be a bust at the next level. He's another Katzenmoyer/Bobby Carpenter. Just because you play with a high motor doesn't mean you are any good. He's slow laterally and doesn't have catch up speed. He's a decent player who will be there when we draft 24th because he doesn't deserve to go in the first round and he won't. A waste of a pick. Stephen Nicholas is a lot better than he is, it would be an utter waste of a pick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Snellvillain 26 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Lucky for the Cushing fans the Buc personal are in love with him.The release of Derrick Brooks almost guarantees that Tampa will take Cushing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michael garvin 78 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 No we want Cushing and I'll be PISSED if the Bucs grab him before us. Laurinaitus looked slow on the field forget his 40 time. When he was "blitzing" against Texas i thought for a second I was watching women's soccer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
