[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 168277, member: 639"] A few thoughts and / or opinions: Who would YOU rather tackle in the A Gap (regardless of your size), a 6-4 220 lb BB or a 5-8 210 lb BB? I know what I would pick. Question: just where would you choose to put your helmet on the 5-8 210 lb guy? If you ask any well known defensive player who the hardest guys to tackle are, I guarantee you it will be guys like "Iron Head" Heyward who are big AND low. (Ibeballin please chime in). (Of course Ibeballin was pretty much of this build himself). I don't know how much MA being dinged up factored into his placement below MM and PS in the depth chart, but if it wasn't a factor, then it is good news for Yellow Jacket nation. MA handled himself well in the spring game, if he is being pushed down solely because of performance, then we have raised the bar, which is a good for the team. I saw MM two feet away from me at fan day. He is not slight of frame. In fact, I would say he is rather thickly built. Combine that with his burst, that we all know of, and his cutting ability, and what do you have? A threat. That is what I say. I have been trying to keep my mouth shut about some of this stuff, but I hope we all appreciate the sheer level of talent and athleticism that we hauled in with the 2015 class in the skill positions. This is NOT your ordinary group. We need to stop with all this supposition (to the negative) and worry. MM can run and run well. My only concern is if he will hold on to the football and block. There isn't a shred of doubt in my brain that he can handle the BB position once the ball is tucked away. Patrick Skov is a tough kid with a lot of experience. If MM is right there with him at 18 years of age.......... [/QUOTE]
