Mathews is interesting and I have only seen him a few times so I have some homework to do tonight. I loved this uncle and father as players and if we get half of what the Mathew's gave then we would come out on top. Sr. played like 20 years in the league and averaged 80 tackles over 20 years. I still remember his 40 y/o butt running an interception back....about as fast as his 300 lbs brother would have
I am just thinking at this point that someone will reach on this kid before BB would pull the trigger. I like Sintim because of his experience in a 3-4 but admit does not have the upside as Maybin. I am not sure of the 4-3 ends translate well into many 3-4 in the NFL but our 3-4 we move to the 4 linemen set so that does translate to some extent (Vrabel).
Last year alot of people were talking about moving Chris Long to and OLB in a 3-4 and he had all the stats to do so. The only problem is he is a hand in the ground D-lineman as he played a 5 tech at Virginia and is good at it. Golston
Jets
He is a 4-3 end and Man Genius (using the term loosely) tried to convert him and it was simply a disaster. Chris Long was used properly and had a good rookie season as a 4-3 end. It was watching Chris Long last year at Virginia that I noticed Sintim.
I find Sintim very flexible and I believe would be able to play behind and learn from AD as both and edge rusher and SILB. Crable intrigues me a lot and I am very interested to see how he turns out this season.
