He's bigger than Patrick Willis was. But he's too small to play Mike

Jack is a finesse linebacker. Willis was physical. Regardless of size that is how they play.

LOL........watch the too small crowd and he looks small crowd start hiding!

Guess the eye test was not so accurate!

My only concern with Jack is that I think Willis was a thumper in college, he played ILB in college and banged people around. Jack has never really played it. He's often operating in space given his athletic skills.

There's film out there of him operating at Mike, off the top of my head the Virginia game.

He plays bully ball. The biggest misconception people have of him is that he's a finesse player because he has 4.4 wheels.

The odds are pretty good that both of those guys will be unemployed come next offseason.

Monday's the big day. DB workouts. You still throwing your annual party?

If you don't think Jack is physical you need to watch more game film.

Please don't take the Lord's name in vain. Thank you.

Dalai Lama that Joe Dahl looks amazing.

Yeah, I think that's a common misconception. Jack was asked to play outside. UCLA had Eric Kendricks at MLB. Myles has always been physical, hell, he played runningback and ran over people.
Jack started from day one for the Bruins on defense and many times was the best player on the field even with Kendricks and Anthony Barr on the field.

No, I've seen him play a lot and he's not (or I guess it's better to say he hasn't shown a lot) that he's a thumper in the mold Willis was in college. Watch Willis play LB at Ole Miss and Jack and Willis just strikes you as the more physical player.

That doesn't mean Jack can't be a great MLB in the NFL. But just saying Jack is the same size as Willis and Willis played MLB ignores the fact that Willis continually showed in college he was a bruiser at MLB.

Lordy.

Someone(s) in this forum were having an argument on Jack's weight. I believe the person who said Jack weighs about 245 lbs. was right.

Yes, I was correct!

I was told by two that I did not understand the process and other nonsense, time for those fellas to eat that crow!

 

[Risen Star]

Lordy.

I had the same reaction.

Oh you bet!

My 4th round draft pick is going to be there for security... Just in case Alexander's wimpy 2nd round pick tries to horn-in.

 

[tyke1doe]

What did he say? What's up?

 

[RS12]

Then why dont the stats show it.

 

[Risen Star]

If you look at that picture of Rex, he had that stomach procedure done and lost a lot of weight. It looks like he's starting to put weight back on. You have to admire that kind of determination.

 

[Floatyworm]

Wouldn't shock me if he is the pick.....

He was the #1 rated prospect going into college football last year.....

Please explain.

Bosa looks like an oversized frat boy.
