29 or 9

Good thread.


Man, I REALLY, REALLY hate to say this, but . . . I wouldn't take either one of them as a linebacker. And I would take either one of them as a safety. They're just too small and get pushed around too easily. The last four games they played made me take a different view of them. Ga. Southern pushed them around, Ga. Tech ran on them too easily, Alabama made them look terrible, and Nebraska continually drove them backwards.

Don't get me wrong! I'd take them, because they are stud athletes. I just have a slightly different take on them now - if I ran an offensive scheme against them, I'd do what 'Bama did - run RIGHT AT THEM.

thriller, kind of goes along with what wlayton mentioned yesterday. Suggested that #9 would be a serious safety. Your points point to the truth. Good post.

You know Buc, Thomas Davis was VERY similar to Tree (imo).....believe he made it at outside LB with the Panthers didn't he? Will be interesting to see if they move Tree back to safety....has the speed.

One thing for sure in the NFL wlayton, teams going more and more for that "bad" safety. Would not be too surprised if we have a "bad" freshman safety in Athens.

Closing speed for Ogletree was/is scary. Say again, would love to see Alec align himself with someone that will guarantee him a future when football is over. I think like that.

and he should think that way too.

Yes, really looking foward to TM at safety as well!!

Sounds like the Dawgs may have another in what has become a LONG line of ugly, smash-mouth, hit you HARD, NASTY-WASTY safeties. Almost brings a tear to my eye.
