Frantz Joseph Clips
 
Here are some Frantz Joseph clips for those interested from what i was able to dig up from this past Motor City Bowl. I'm hoping more clips will pop up on Youtube as draft day draws closer.

He's #56 (or the only guy on our defense not missing tackles..:rolleyes:)
At the 2:00 minute mark is him sealing the win for us. Without Joseph I'm not sure we would have been able to pull off that upset against Central Michigan.

Your buddy just picked a pop-up off and returned it for good yardage, though it looks like he wasn't watching his feet and stepped out of bounds at least 10 yds before he would have been forced out - I'll have to check it later.

Looks a little more comfortable in traffic than some of the highly touted Day 1 LBs.

Also, nfldraftscout notes:

Quote:

01/29/09 - Texas vs. the Nation, Wednesday: ILB Frantz Joseph (Florida Atlantic, 6-2, 243): Whether in pads or just shells, Joseph made his presence felt in the box. He showed the strength necessary to get off of blocks and the awareness in zone to prevent running backs and tight ends from making yardage after the catch. - Chad Reuter, The SportsXchange, NFLDraftScout.com

Frantz and our ball coach rep'd our school well today. The Nation team won 27-24. I hope there were a lot of scouts there that took notice. I'll have to check out clips later to see how UCF's Burnett did later.

I believe there were three times as many scouts as last year if I recall the sideline reporter's chat with a game official.

Frantz does well enough in coverage, he's a bit heavy legged so he'll be used more as a two-down LB in the NFL. I think 4-3 teams will value him more than NE will, but I have little doubt he's getting a close look as a Day Two option.

EDIT: Unless someone focusing on Burnett Youtube's him I don't expect any game clips, I never heard his name. Which may just mean he had good coverage and was never challenged by the QB. I will say I was much more impressed by the QBs in this game than those in any of the previous games.

I read he had a pick and recovered a fumble for a nice return, both helped set up scores for the Nation offense. He was also named game MVP. Not a bad day at the office.

mods - You might as well merge this thread with the Texas vs. The Nation thread to keep all the info together.

Refinements apart, he plays with a lot of energy and he's a solid tackler. I'm sold -- for what it's worth. :rolleyes:
