[QUOTE="Techster, post: 42830, member: 360"] I think people overate JT's explosiveness. I'm not saying that because he's not explosive, I'm saying that because against other team's 1st team D, their speed on defense is going to neutralize/contain his speed. We saw that against Miami and BYU. People forget, but there are a lot of defenders just as fast as him. Remember, JT's two biggest explosion plays were against Elon when the OLB had terrible containment: [media=youtube]2hOaji1mWjg[/media] and Syracuse who's defense against us was as inept as I've seen anyone play us on this level and their coach admitted it. [media=youtube]o4x8jVqWlKE[/media] There's no doubting JT's upside compared to Byerly, but people have to realize that those big chunk plays aren't going to happen on every play. JT will get hit more than he'll get those big plays. As you saw in those clips, the better the defensive talent, the harder it was for JT to run from the defense and out of containment. The hope is that JT stays healthy enough to make those explosion plays. If not, that speed is not going to do us any good. [/QUOTE]
