That's some serious props from Joe Kines (Alabama Defensive coordinator).
The rest of the article is very good,IMO. I've been curious about this guy since he was signed by the Pats. Has anyone here seen him play?
And as for the concerns about his speed (4.88 and 4.87 times in the 40-yard dash at his pro day), the Alabama folks are quick to point out that he was actually assigned to cover Patriots second-round pick Chad Jackson when the Crimson Tide played Florida. When Jackson was lined up in the slot, he’d be jammed and funneled inside to Roach, who would try to knock around the Gators star.
That afternoon, Jackson finished with eight catches for just 50 yards (6.3 average) and didn’t get in the end zone. Alabama won, 31-3.
“Turn the tape on and watch him play with those guys,†Kines said. “A 40 time is a great tool, but turn on the tape and look . . . show me when he got beat. He’s a ballplayer.â€
