Which USC linebacker would you like the most and why?

What? When did I say that?

I may have misunderstood you but here's the post :)

I just hope people aren't going to be too pissed if Cushing is our pick... the guy can flat out play linebacker. His numbers dipped a bit during the middle of last season- but he played through injury without hurting the team. We (SC) have a stable of linebackers to step in for injuries and yet Cushing started when he was injured. When he healed towards the end of the season, he picked up where he left off.

Adrian Peterson had an injury knock coming out of college and people thought he wouldn't last too long running the way he does. Cushing will be able to take the punishment and I don't have to worry about him over-pursuing cutback lanes (as Rey is prone to do).

Cushing won't achieve half the success Rey does in the NFL...but I won't be surprised if he's drafted higher.

Right now we may be losing this pick. :madani:

Hmmm... gentlemen's bet? You're giving me a cush(ion) of 50% less success?

I'll take it in a heartbeat... 1) Cushing spends half the time in the league Rey does 2) Cushing makes it to half as many pro-bowls (which will actually be zero) :)

Oh, you know I actually thought you had written who do I think they should draft.

I'd take Rey, because he plays violent football, and you gotta love it..

Definitely we got Big Al in the middle and Dirty 30 in the secondary adding Rey Maualuga would be an absolute awesome.

Hmmm... so if he makes 0 (half as many as Rey), I guess we're even on the pro-bowls ;)

And I will definitely wager on half of Rey's longevity. You're talking to a guy who watched every single game of both college careers!

I'll see you back on this forum in ten years... we'll probably be posting via telepathy or something, by then.

What's you opinion of Matthews? I think the kid has a chance to be really good.
