He was owning his guy all night, even busting double teams, not sure what game you were watching. LSU was going with quick passes much of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nati Ice Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 i honestly dont know what youre talking about. james had a 15 yard facemask penalty, cost us a touchdown by not picking up the te and worrying too much about receivers which were not his first priority, got caught out of position several times, and just seemed to become just another player and failed to stand out in spite of his mlb position and the announcers focusing on him everytime he did well. i didnt say anything bad about vernon, just that he needed to have a bigger game than what he had. he played well but could have done better given the opportunities he was given and the scale of the game. he just disappeared a few times, that is all, nothing major.

akiliMVP Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 DT Pat Sims, Auburn is said to be declaring today. He's a beast of a tackle that could realistically be our pick at 9 if Ellis is gone. He's got good size (6'4/315) is allegedly amazingly athletic (4.8 40 yd dash) and put up great numbers in the SEC this season (37 tackles, 11.5 TFL, 4.5 sacks, [b]15 QB hurries[/b], 3 passes defended, 2 forced fumbles) [img]http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/45/455005.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Sims looked good in their bowl game, though those two knee braces he's wearing in that picture worry me. I'm not sure he's a top 10 pick, we could probably trade down 3-5 spots and get him. I'm looking around at some mocks now (only 5 or so so far) and Ellis has lasted to our pick in all of them, Gholston in most of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if he has any injury history, so I couldn't tell you about the knee braces. He's probably not a top 10 pick right now (maybe 15-20), but I could see us taking him if Ellis and Gholston are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredtoast Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 [quote name='akiliMVP' post='620192' date='Jan 8 2008, 12:41 AM']ILB Jerod Mayo[/quote] Mayo played MLB this year, but he will be a WLB in the NFL. That is where he played his junior year at Tennessee. For those of you who don't want us to resign Landon take a look at Mayo. He is a stud. The DC for the Vols, John Chavis, has been at Tennessee since 1989. He says that Al Wilson is the only LB he has coached that compares to Mayo. That is pretty impressive considering UT has had 16 LBs drafted during that period of time including 2 first rounders, and 6 other 2nd-3rd rounders.

Scoutforlife591 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Pat Sims changes things up a lot if you ask me. Before I think if you wanted a DT you had to take Ellis. Now you could pick up anyone, and with all the picks we have, if you keep an ear to the ground on draft day, you could trade up with a 5th or 4th or even stand pat in the 2nd and nab Sims.

More often then not when we have drafted players with injury history it continues into the NFL....but you keep pointing to that one instance while our injured reserve keeps filling up.

Jason Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Per www.bucknuts.com and an OSU press release, Vernon Gholston is coming out, Malcom Jenkins will be back for his senior year. No word yet from Alex Boone, Marcus Freeman, or James Laurinaitis.

Bengals1181 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 probably a smart move on Jenkins, he had a bad championship game (outside of the INT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
