Mayo played OLB in College Sophomore season. thoughts of moving him to the outside and drafting an ilb..
Thanks in advance.
This. And there ain't no easy about it.Chris Gocong? (easy there Box)
OK, I fess up,,
Why would a WILB get blasted less by guards than a SILB??
THe photo the other day of Seau and Mayo side by side was starling comparison, Mayo looked like Seau's little brother,,,
any chance you have a link to the pic?

Mayo going against tackles is a sure shot for a career ending injury.
He is too small.He is smaller then junior who is too small to play OLB in a 3-4.
iF is lines up as OLB you do not have the power hold the edge and will see RB gain 6-8 yds running on his side.
This one?
You'll find the SILB closer to the LOS typically, with the WILB holding in case it's a passing play. The job of the SILB is generally a run stopping one, with the opposition TE lining up on that side there's a chance that a Guard will end up blocking down-field for any runner, so your guy on that side needs to be able to stack and shed.
I've seen that photo, and to be honest it's not as pronounced as you're saying.
Bruschi had terrific hands developed as a DL, that allowed him to literally slip the block and eel around the OL and into the hole. After his stroke he wasn't as agile and was more often locked up by the OL. To answer the last question, two Bru's in their prime would be outstanding.Thanks, but am still confused, the two LBs line up side by side, so how so you know where the runner is coming from? Is it a game of percentages , there are more runs to the strong side? I wonder what those percentages are?
And I would think you would like to have a LB on the strong side capable of running with the TE, if he is 3 down player. This probably is a HOF player like Seau when in his prime, i.e. do everything.
Thanks again.
Nonentity=> This one? That's the picture.
Box=>That's a 2008 picture folks.
So how does Mayo get wider, I would think it's a drastic difference in how their built, their frame structure, not muscle mass. On a different slant I would preferr "farmboy" strength over weight room strength, I think Seau has that natural strength.
I am not complaining about Mayo, he gets his shots in during the game, but he looks smaller than the Seau, Ray Lewis types.
Hypothetical question, would a team be better with two Bruschis, or one Bruschi and one Ted Johnson?
