'13 SC DL Jaylen Miller (UT signee)

[Vol4life25]

He seems kind of slow..... 260 and runs a 4.98.

Sprint speed doesn't totally matter for a d end. And.those times are rarely accurate.

Well he is insanely quick off the line, which is the way more important than his 40 time

He looked pretty fit. I doubt he is going to be putting on another 20 lbs like a new coat.

He may have some time at DE to prove he can play the position before he is big enough to move inside.

26 sacks speaks to massive production. I don't care if he runs a 4.98, a 4.42, or a 6.15 if he is smashing the QB 2-3 times a game and forcing turnovers.

dont think ive heard a D lineman's 40 time be brought up as a concern before. lol

This. People put way too much stock in 40 times.

Yep. If a D Linemans 40 time ever comes into play during a game, that means he has already failed to do his job.

While the 40 time isn't at the top of the list it should matter IMO. Chasing down a flushed out of the pocket QB is important.

Hell put him at LB with that speed...he'd be our fastest one!

 

[InVOLuntary]

not it's not...i think you just made that up

I self bumped once and you'd a thought I had raped the Pope's daughter. Oh wait, the Pope is not supposed to have a daughter. Or did they change that rule. Oh he!! I'm confused now. Well you get the point.

I agree that chasing down a flushed QB is important, just do not believe that it is the D Linemen that would normally be doing it. They should be more the "Flusher" and not the "chaser".

But we don't want him getting caught from behind when he Clowneys a QB, picks up the fumble and takes off to the house.

Needs to gain about 30 lbs and move inside. Too slow for DE.

Ok. I can't argue with that. Kid needs a faster 40 time.

Hate to keep talking stats but 26 sacks says the kid is plenty quick enough to play DE. Of course if he gains 30lbs, he would move to DT.

 

[Wilson27]

I don't care what a lineman runs his forty in. More interested in his first step and shorter shuttle runs.

Against HS competition. Most of these kids 3 stars and above have great HS stats. Apples and oranges to SEC play.

Miller is going to be the closest thing we get to a DT in this class

Is that by design OCI?

And IMO, a poor job by this staff to address the DL needs. They have done well at some positions. DT & LB is scary right now.

You guys crack me up with 40 time talk in regards to a lineman.

I dont think its entirely this staffs screw up if at all. They came in way behind on the hardest position to recruit period. Dooley was set with the juco kids and he was done. CBJ and crew came in with most solid kids locked up or out of play and did the best they could. You dont just go get kids who are listed as DT and fill roster spots if they cant play. I would rather them get someone decent and regroup for next year. Miller will be solid and Carr could end up inside himself if we hold onto him. Sanders with his frame could add weight and move inside as well, again if we hold onto him.

Keith Bryant has his last OV scheduled with Tennessee on February 1.
