Rey Maualuga

I agree, Juki.
Btw, someone turned Rey's latest antics into an animated GIF:
If anyone wants to use it as their avatar, here's the URL:

I might want to throw that next to my rey pic in my sig, I thought it was funny, he was just joking around, plus the reporter laughed. Its not like she slapped him afterwards
-
This defense needs a personality. It needs a focal point. Like a Ray Lewis. Teammates like and respect guys like this.
I think Maualuga has that kind of potential. I could be wrong.
I'm not wrong about this being hilarious, though.

Now that is some funny stuff

FWIW, I'm guessing her laugh was more of the "WTF just happened?" variety. And Maualuga later apologized to Andrews, who hasn't publicly commented on what happened.
-
the apology was done purely to appease those who diddnt find it funny.
This makes me want to see Andrews do a sit down interview now. That would be awesome
-
Just read that several GM's reportedly have told Pete Carroll that they love what Maualuga does on the field, but they're concerned about his "naive" personality.
Should be interesting to see how Maualuga times at the Combine, but the more important component for him will be the team interviews conducted behind the scenes. If he bombs those, his draft stock could really slide.
-
what's the furthest he drops? i think the absolute lowest he could go would be miami, where he'd replace crowder and parcells and sparano would whip his ass into ship like they were r. lee ermey. atlanta could use him at 24, too.
my big fear is that he goes to baltimore, even though they need a CB far more than they could possibly use a LB. i'd hate facing him in that scheme twice a year. hell, i just hate facing that scheme twice a year.
-
It's really hard to predict what Maualuga's range is; when Heck & I tried to come up with one a week or so ago, we agreed on 8-25.
But if Maualuga shows up in poor shape (he trained at USC instead of one of the big Combine training facilities), runs a 4.78, then comes off poorly in the interviews, who knows how far he'd fall?
He needs to go somewhere with a strong supporting cast, both in terms of talent & character. Even though I've become accustomed to bashing him here, I think he could be a huge success in the right situation.

If he bombs those, his draft stock could really slide.One thing I read was Rey was going to sit out some of the coverage drills at the Combine, pretty much closing the door on him even pretending to be a 3-down linebacker. Would you take a 2-down player in the first round, let alone the top half???
Pauline does not believe that Maualuga will participate in the linebacker workouts at the Scouting Combine.

Yeah, you wouldn't take a two down linebacker in the top half of the first round.
And his not participating in LB drills will raise a lot of questions: is he that bad in coverage? Was he too lazy to prepare for LB drills? Both?
Should be interesting to see how this plays out.

SUCH COMPLETE BS!!!! He will NOT be a 2 down backer, as to his childish behavior....he a freakin child for christ sake! 20~22 years old are you kidding??? they have to grow into professionals especially a kid that lost his Dad at 18 years old....unbelievable!!! The kid is going to be a superstar at MLB...all you "fans" who don't want him...don't want the Browns to be great! The Cleveland Browns have never had a great MLB....Still haven't heard any of you address that simple fact!!! Ticky tack "value" BS....just stupid! That's my take and I'll stick to it! The kid is a SPECIAL player!

Let's put this into perspective.
Maualuga is a terror at MLB. He has matured greatly. He has been compared to Troy PollyMoomoo, only 40 lbs heavier.
He has matured, so has Polly.
figure this:
The type of player the Steelers draft:
Polly doesn't do stupid stuff like that anymore. At least, I don't think so. He sucks because he's a squeeler surrounded by idiots..
although, years later he got his payback:
but watch these interviews to get a better idea of who Maualuga is now:
(just figure out at the combine interviews to try? to figure he will be a character player)
Fili Moala interview (he also talks about Rey)

Yes, Al. But I wasn't suggesting Fili would be a good draft pick,
I was showing that Rey made the calls, etc, had leadership, etc, per Fili Moala's appraisal.
It helps give a different look to Rey. That's all.
-
As I have said before and was mentioned again...he comes out on most 3rd down plays.
Third down is when I want my players to shine.....not be put on the bench.
Add in character concerns and he is a guy I pass.
If we trade down, I doubt it is because he is the target unless we are going to the bottom of the round.
Rey presents value about pick 25. Before that he is a reach.

God forbid you may be wrong.....BUT As I state...he will be a 3 down Linebacker. wagerinng is pretty stupid at this point but Rey doesn't come out on third down....just ridiculous! and not true!

Well you should have your own column on profootballtalk.com then. What are you wasting your time here with us for?Just a complete difference of opinion is all! The arguement for not taking Rey M. is cause he will be a 2 down linebacker??? Come on.... Heck...guys told me last year and the year before the same thing about Mayo and Willis and before that Demeco ryans. Same arguements year in and out and still wrong. We have needed a stud MLB and have for the 40 years I've been alive. We need an Identity on this Defense and It always starts at LB!
