We also dont need opposing RBs gashing us for huge gains each time they break the DL and get into the 2nd level.
Brace yourselves... Manti is in town

Really dude? Check #9. That kid was an absolute force. Against most teams they played he was unblockable, even when double teamed, which was on most plays of course. Easily the best player ND had.

Okay, so there's one guy. Alabama had three players who are likely to be very good to great NFL players. Also, how many times did Zach Thomas go up against offensive linemen one to one? I'll answer that, very rarely. That's what Tim Bowens and Daryl Gardener were there for. I'm not saying he's Zach Thomas, but let's not make him out to be a terrible player because of one game.

Manti Te'o visiting

I figured it would be one of the top threads today, but I checked NFL Forum as well as main forum and saw nothing. So mods feel free to merge this if there is another post. I mean I could understand the interest with his ability to generate turnovers. The Alabama game is tricky. On one hand he is facing one of the best OL's in college football history, and 2 first round running backs. And he found out about the whole "hoax" before the game. Really hard to determine how much his play slipped because of the hoax or because of the talent of Bama. I'm no psychologist but I would imagine it affected him at least somewhat. I don't really wanna the Dolphins to draft him I would rather see someone like Tank Carradine, DJ Hayden, or Tavon... but who knows we may trade up for a T (although I'm not convinced Ireland isn't just lowering the market for Winston).

Good things happen when you get to the football.

Its been at the top of the threads since about 2:30 yesterday. You see about as well as me.
In terms of being oversold in general and in the Heisman campaign by the prodigious ND PR and alumni hype machine, happily abetted by BSPN, this kid might well be the 2nd coming of Brady Quinn.

Can we at least wait till we draft him before we start making excuses for how bad he is?
