[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 780463"] You can google "Clay Matthews two consecutive games without a tackle". Anyway: [URL]https://lombardiave.com/2015/12/29/clay-matthews-where-art-thou/[/URL] [URL]http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/gamelog/_/id/12438/year/2015[/URL] Jake Ryan is a decent football player. You just don't want him isolated in a lot, but not all, coverage matchups. You also don't want Matthews isolated in those same situations. Ryan is just ot a 3-down, 16 game, 50 snap guy. You said, "just about all of what you wrote there was nonsense" including a comment on Burks, but I had not mentioned Burks. So I shared a thought on the matter. Of do I need to define "bad" or "college" or "tape"? There has been previous discussions of his exhibition of bad run defense against Alabama: [MEDIA=youtube]J_IajeL8bdQ[/MEDIA] I think you can expect to see Ryan in base D and some nickel. The upside expectation for Burks this season would be some nickel and the dime coverages assuming the Jones experiment at ILB is over which appears to be the case. In fairness to Burks, Vandy moved him all over the place without letting him settle in any one position. Not being a freakish first round football talent, that's tough and bears some wait and see.
