I'll bet you my house that Willie hasn't ran that fast in 10 years... and he was pretty good, no?

Yeah, he could develop into the next TJ. I'm sure that is where he will be tried first. Perfect size, strength and motor for the pos. in our system. Will need time to grow into it though.Handel said:He would have ideal size for ILB run stuffer.
I agree. The biggest question IMO about his ability to convert to ILB would be coverage. Can he turn his heaps and cover? Can he handle the position mentally? It is a lot harder than playing OLBjczxohn1 said:Only 2 yrs in college program, inconsistent reports about POA indicate he should be able to ward off blocks consistently with coaching. One-gapper, better ILB trait (even TJ blitzed occassionally), ability to flash inside to gaps, redirect inside. Was being judged as a DE, many limitations mentioned arent so critical as an ILB. Sounds like a raw kid who can improve in our system.

Mincey has discovered that Belichick has a great sense of humor and he's also discovered a coach that really cares about his players on a very personal level. Mincey says that is the kind of coach he thrives under.
"He's one funny dude," said Mincey, just back from what he called a "great trip" to Boston. "You watch him on TV and you'll never know what a real character he is. He can make you laugh a lot but he's got a serious side about him that has nothing at all to do with football, too. We probably laughed more and talked more about life than we did about football when I was up there. He's a lot like Urban Meyer, just a good dude that you like as a person and you want to play football for."

Seymour93 said:Reading the NFL.com bio of Mincey, you have to question why he decided to come out early. They say he's a little raw, but had the talent to have a monster season next year at Florida and was likely to be a top draft pick.
OntarioPatsFan said:Wow, nice find. I know BB and Meyer spent some time last off season working together, but it sounds like they have a pretty solid relationship.

zippo59 said:I just want to keep in mind that Bioli still haven't proved that they can draft reilaible LB for their system. Look at every core LB during thr SB's. Bruschi, Vrabel, Johnson, Colvin, McGuinest, and Phifer. None of these guys were drafted by Bioli. They were all FA aquisitions or inhereted from the Parcells era. I'm not saying BB can't do it but they just haven't done it yet.

yay to me on my 100th post
