  • I tend to see these things in a better light.

    It shows attitude, confidence, determination, and aggressiveness

    I also like the goofyness, it shows that he has a little bit of personality and humor about him, he is an identity, something we need on this defense, we dont only need a good player, we need a face, a definition, which is why curry doesnt cut it for me. We need attitude.

  • please stay away form Rey. If we go LB then we have to go Curry. There is something telling me he is just hype. I think Curry would be the best pick by far. No Rey in 09 PLEASE!

    I live in L.A. so we get Trojan news on a minute-ly basis... and Rey is well liked by all. He's no "problem child" here at all. He's generally regarded as something of a wild man who has matured through his time at the University of Spoiled Children.

    You say he's a goofball; I say he's a character. But either way, we really aren't talking about Lawrence Phillips here.

    Oh, I'm not saying he's Lawrence Phillips. But not being Lawrence Phillips isn't a very high threshold for determining whether a guy's a good fit for your club.

    Also, I think it's deceptively hard to gauge whether a college player is a good guy or not based on his media pub. As Scott Pioli says, the best way to find out those things is to visit the facility and see how a guy treats the training staff or the secretaries in the main office...or if he intentionally disrupts another teammate's interview.

    To me, there's enough stuff here to worry me. And considering we'll be giving the guy $20M guaranteed, even a little worry may be cause for passing on him.

  • Aloy man... you really dont like Rey do you, I thought at one point you would be satisfied with either but preferred Curry, but now you seem so Anti-Rey

  • i think it showed good judgment that he went outside of the bar to pee. Who wants that kind of mess inside where they are serving beverages? Any reports of him hanging out with Jeremiah Pharms?

  • 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.

  • He didn't look so great againist the Beavers. At times he looked lost. I understand you have bad games but do it againist a good team and not somebody like the Beavers. Please so no. I'm for Wells but if we go D then go Curry. No Rey or Jenkins.

    I'm okay with him, just not as a top 5 pick.

    The more I watch of Curry, the more I like him. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about Rey.

    I didn't know about much of Maualuga's alcohol/fighting stuff until today. That's why I brought it up, not because of some mischievous plot to discredit Maualuga.

  • I like Curry, too, but if we're searching for an identity, along with a linebacker, I think Rey trumps him.

    Drafting Curry certainly seems safer, and certainly wouldn't upset me.

    That game scared the hell out of me. And watching him run himself out of plays and fail to wrap-up tackle in the Cal game didn't make me feel better.

    Also, Heck said he looked a little violent & out of control in the UCLA game.

  • Rey will not be nere as good as Lewis is. Lewis is one of those players that don't come around often. You really don't need a loud mouth vocal guy either. You need somebody that's let's is play do the talking. I like the guy San Fran has, Willis, and he reminds me of Curry in a lot of ways.

  • Plus, Aloysius, you just posted a video of Ken Norton Jr. a Pro-Bowl Linebacker and a 2-time superbowl champion saying Rey MAualuga is way better than he ever was.

    If that doesnt mean we should draft this guy, I dont know what does.

    I dont smell bust one this one, and I'm pretty good at calling busts.

    Rey's biggest crime is being THAT fast while being THAT big and THAT violent:

    Curry was nondescript in his last college football game. Let's see what Rey does against Penn State tomorrow and compare. I'm seriously open minded about it -- no, seriously! -- because I liked the tape you showed on Curry.

    Nondescript may be a little unfair. Getting a TFL, a few QB pressures, and a couple of tackles isn't too shabby. Whatever it was, it was definitely better than Maualuga's performance against Oregon State.

    If that's the case, then we shouldn't even watch these guys play - just check & see which prospect's position coach had the better NFL career and you'll know who the better player is.

    After all, a coach is always going to give high praise for a guy entering the draft, especially when he's being featured on a segment about how he turned said player into a star.

  • good point

    but dont you think it holds some water?

  • Screw you guys. Now I'm officially torn. 🙂

  • Some? Sure. But it shouldn't dictate who we take with our first pick.

  • I think we should ask ourselves, who has the higher ceiling? Who has the personality and talent , that if developed correctly would have the highest potential yield.

    I think Rey fits that bueild.

    Im not saying Curry is a bad pick, because he's not. He would be a great pick. He is a consistent tackler who is where he should be, when he is supposed to be there, makes the tackles and makes the plays, but we already have one of those In DQ Jackson, we need a personality, a punisher, a monster, an identity, a guy the makes the opposing team scared and play more cautiously, and that guy... once again I believe is Rey
