Freelancers can not make it in the BB defense. He will not tolerate it in his defense. I question Rey's tackling ability and his intrelligence, but other than those 3 things, he seems like an ideal fit for the BB defense.
PS: If Goff can run as fast as Rey, then spending Oakland's third round pick on a monster from the SEC with tons of intelligence, seems a better pick.
I do know that Lua worked with Maualuga, and helped him learn the correct way to film study, and they were best friends. I mention this because I'm sure he'll give BB & Pioli all the inside info they need.
Rey can freelance, but that's within USC's system, where they allow him to freelance. I'm not saying it's a given, but I'd expect Rey to play within the Patriots system, and be effective. I do understand your bringing it up though.
However, I don't think you're correct about his tackling. I've watched him a number of times, and I think he's a strong tackler, who drives and wraps. He also possesses a large amoung of physical strength for an ILB prospect.
You really think Jon's making it to the third round? I personally think he's going mid-second, or earlier. I've been saying for awhile that he's been extremely underrated on this site (I think he's one of the top 3 ILB's in the country), and not many of the posters here even mention him.
