On my corn flakes every morning.
I just think he is part of the ESPN Hype machine. He has had many injuries in college and I just don't think he is a good for us. I think Harris is a better fit. JMO.
Nah, Harris is a better fit at SILB, and Willis is a better fit at WILB. Willis has had some injuries but they were simular to the type of injuries all LB's suffer at some point. Willis also played through his injuries which is something I like, because it shows how tough he is. He hasn't had any knee injuries, or head injuries, and those are the ones you look out for most.
All of Willis' injuries came in 2005, and as I said he played thru them:
"2005: Suffered a broken middle finger on his right hand, missing the second half of the Vanderbilt (Sept. 17) game, and sat out the following week against Wyoming (Sept. 24). Was forced to wear a cast on his hand to protect the injury the rest of the year … Suffered a partial AC joint right shoulder separation against The Citadel, but did not miss any game action … Broke a bone in his right foot against Arkansas (Nov. 12), but still played in the team's final two games against Louisiana State (Nov. 19) and Mississippi State (Nov. 26)."
Also if you are going to talk about Willis' injury report and it being a concern than maybe you should think about Harris....
"2003: Suffered a right knee anterior cruciate ligament tear against Houston (Sept. 6) that required surgery, missing the rest of the season.
2004: Injured his knee vs. Iowa (Sept. 29), sitting out the next five games against Indiana, Minnesota, Illinois, Purdue and Michigan State.
2005: Held out of the season opener against Northern Illinois (Sept. 3) after suffering a high ankle sprain in August camp."
Oh, and Harris played at 239lbs, so I still don't understand why people think Willis is undersized, especially since I don't see anyone throwing the term at Harris.
