goodguy
I loathe goodguy
nope. he's in all the right places at all the right times. but hasn't wow'd me yet either. which of course should be taken with a cup o salt considering he was a sophmore :p.
Was this response for me? Nope?
i was more than a little surprised that he was a butkus finalist. then i rememberd awards are popularity contests. jl shouldn't have been a butkus finalist. im sure ill get dinged for that, but its the truth. i see jl as being a guy who plays his position very well. but he doesn't define the position with his play, yet. thats the way butkus played. thats the way guys like hawk, and the big kat, and speils played. if i wanted to teach a kid who had never seen football before how to play olb, id pull out a tape of A.J. Hawk and tell him to watch it until he had every play memorized. thats what the butkus is to me. its not a guy who plays his role well. its a guy who defines the position with his play.
jl simply put isn't to that point yet. look out when he gets there though.
Agree, although I think AJ had more athleticism than JL. JL may not be able to reach AJ's level.
