wdg01,

My mistake, I wasn't sure how to post the information. See that (1) gem indicating that I'm a prospect, well that couldn't label me any better due to the fact that this is the first forum that I have been a member so a little slack and some help would be a nice jesture.

Sorry 3yards won't happen again!

It's OK Silverbullet and welcome to BuckeyePlanet. We all appreciate the effort, but we can't in good conscience post premium material from other sites. I have edited your post to show only the "public" information. In the future just post the public information OR paraphrase what the article said (if it's premium). In other words, give us your version of the article. Also, try not to post the html code which contains advertisements. It will happen from time to time (not a big deal), but the owner is trying to make this site FREE and without advertisements. Let's help him out with that endeavor and keep our posts free of advertisements.

Again, welcome aboard!

Thanks! Ive been reading this forum for probably 5 weeks now and have been really enjoying everyones comments and views of the buckeyes. I just wanted to get involved but truthfully I am very new to this,so for now I will sit back watch how things are done and make comments here and there and hopefully gain some knowledge on the ins and outs of things.


OH! I DONT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE WHOLE STATE OF M**HIGAN!

Jump in Silverbullet. If you break some unwritten rule of etiquette, someone will let you know. If that happens, just apologize and move on. The main rules are to try and treat the other posters with respect and love the Buckeyes.

You might get a few bumps and bruises as a new guy, but we all "earn" those battle scars. Happens to everyone.

Don't worry about it, Silver. Welcome aboard.

MegaWoody, I have owned that moniker for quite a while....but not quite in the same capacity. Silver, just make sure if you participate in any of the yahoo!sports fantasy leagues or pick'em leagues not to use Silver Bullet's as your team name...because they're already being used! :biggrin:

I am very surprised by this, considering all indication were that Mike D'A was so far behind. Maybe a lightbulb finally turned on and it all became clear. For me the question was never athleticism but rather the mental side of being the A-1 leader of the defense. I still think it is going to be hard not to try and find a way to get all of your talented LB's on the field, even Kerr who has fallen off the map had got to find a way to get in the game.

In fairness, it hasn't been the coaches making this statement. The perception that Mike has been way behind has come from and been perpetuated by the fans. The fact is that in Mike's first year, he was behind a future AA in Matt Wilhelm. He wasn't going to get most of the reps. His second year, he was starting to make progress... unfortunately, a shoulder injury curtailed his developement. But you could see the light starting to come on. The kid was getting to ball carriers with brutal force and he was making plays that helped our defense convert them to turnovers. This year, like Wilhelm did his senior year, Mike got his butt in the films room and studied. Now, his game knowledge has caught up with his physical development. It doesn't necessarily means that he has "beaten" Anthony, as many fans put it. Just that he is ready to step in to the starting role in his own right in a variety of defensive situations and make plays in a consistent basis that great linebackers are capable of making.

We will see both Mike and Anthony on the field together creating holy havoc...
