Maualuga

[Solon16]

Brooks was the MLB when they won the superbowl in 2002, moved outside when barrett rudd was drafted. mz the pussy I'm going by the assumption that the only time the Browns have been good in my lifetime is when they had Mike and Eddie Johnson as MLB's. And to pass on Rey is a mistake because he is a difference maker. Said the same thing about Mayo, Patrick Willis and Demeco ryans!

From Steuber: It’s amazing how Rey Maualuga makes everything he does on the field look so effortless, and his play on Wednesday was no different. In one-on-one blocking drills, Maualuga went up against Clemson running back James Davis. Maualuga completely took Davis out of the play with a vicious rip move that left one Jaguars coach shaking his head and smiling. After that incredible move, the nonchalant Maualuga jogged back to where the rest of the linebackers were waiting their turn and started playing with his hair.

I fully expected Maualuga to dominate in these drills. In fact, if he didn't I would have been HIGHLY surprised. As I was watching the practices even Mayock had to admit that the defenses KNEW it was going to be a run 99.9% of the time...which then lets a downhill player like Maualuga to just pin his ears back and do what he does best.

The fact that Matthews was able to stand out is all the more impressive. He is NOT the downhill guy, but the all around guy who plays well in space. These drills do not favor him in comparison to the other downhill players.

With no misdirection...and no passes to deter him...Maualuga was in his comfort zone this entire practice week. It did absolutely nothing to dispell the critiques of his ability to cover and/or overrun a play.

Still, he WAS impressive.
