It seems people on this board are either all for him or all against him. My reasons are why?
Why the hate on a player who compares considerably to our own Tedy Bruschi in his best days?
Paul has been clocked between 4.58 and 4.65 in his 40 times.
Has incredible play reading instincts.
Solid tackler.
Has quick sideline to sideline movement.
Has been a team leader and and is considered to have a great on and off field work ethic.
AND
He can play coverage better than most.
His biggest knocks are his knee injury (which he showed he can play this past season)
His weight (240, but has the frame to put on more weight but we don't need that much more)
Gets held up my bigger lineman (isn't that the knock on most ILB's? most have that issue and deal with it once getting to the pros and getting the proper coaching)
Also Puz has compiled 372 tackles in 44 games. That's about 8 1/2 tackles per game. If you don't count his freshman year then its been closer to 9.5 tackles per game.
Also one more notable mention. Puz lost his best lineman last year in Tamba Hali and blew out his knee that off season. Yet came back and put up nearly identical seasons with a lesser line in front of him.
Games Tackles TFL SCK PBU INT
2005 12 116 11.0 3.0 3 1
2006 13 116 9.5 3.0 4 0
So what don't you like?
