In any event, it is good to hear that Freeman is doing so well, and of course the big 3 LB's should all vie for All Big Ten (or better) this season.

That's a bit harsh. Kerr could have had a paid ride at just about any non B10 school. Yet he chose to pay his own way at OSU. To call him a mere walk-on, back up that nobody cares about is just wrong. No offense, but you've been turning into a real stuck-up piece of work lately.

So, everyone who for some reason keeps clinging to that notion, let it go already

Sorry Mil, I guess it's just wishful thinking. MDA is not a natural LB, he is a physical specimen who fits the mold at LB. Honestly, we should never compare him to the big Kat because Katzenmoyer was a natural LB, MDA is not. Like Pagac used to be, MDA plays too stiff and has a very difficult time fighting off blocks. I saw Mike play in high school, and never understood why he was rated so high, I guess mostly on potential looking back at it all. He is most effective when he is used in blitzing packages, so why not line him up on the corner and cut him loose, then drop him back in zone blitz coverages(ala Mike Vrabel for the Pats) ? How often is he used in man coverage? He just seems a little too stiff to cover RB's with 4.3 speed. Don't get me wrong, he is fast as hell, but he lacks football agility.
I'm sure that some disagree with me. Along with you all I am pulling for Mike to have a breakout season, I just do not see him ever living up to his hype if he is kept at LB.
I will be the first one to eat my words if Mike kicks ass this season, trust me.

I hope we both are eating crow about MDA! I just don't see it, yet.

While I appreciate the support and recognize the need to weed out the worst of the BN morons, I think I jumped the gun on this one. BuckStocks came out hard, but I should've given him the same benefit of the doubt I would give anybody else. I'm taking him at his word that he wasn't trying to be an asshole and I don't really have any cause to believe otherwise.

daddy: I have no problem with players being shifted around, but when the staff has emphatically said on more than one occasion that a player will not move, then regardless of how good that move may otherwise seem, we should not keep hoping for it. I for one think he'll come into his own this year at MLB and push Schlegel hard for the starting job, if not take it.

Hey, mate, all I can tell you is that it ain't me and I gave you a + hit back for all of the points it would let me. That's only fair since I got a couple of + dings for teeing off first. Go back and look at the Louis Martinez posts, if you haven't already seen them. I think a lot of our guys are a little trigger happy after dealing with that moron.RB

Looks like the board has corrected itself BuckStockHere. I think your rep totals are at least where they were before this whole thread started, if not higher.
FWIW, I heard a pretty respectable judge of linebacker talent speak very highly MDA recently. Some guy named Spielman does a top 5 list during the noon hour in C-Bus. About a week ago Chris did a list on his top 5 linebackers in the BigTen. Coming in at number 5 ... MDA. Spiels says the guy is looking awesome in practice and will see the field quite a bit this year. Now this is all still speculation, but when Spielman is that excited about a player who didn't even start last year, I tend to get jacked up myself. Kerr, or no Kerr, I think our LB corps is going to be stellar this season.
