The pros learned even more about this during the Senior Bowl workouts. He has such strength that he can stalmate a blocker at the point of attack but he has a lot of trouble getting off or shedding the blocker. So, it does not surprise me that he was our fourth leading tackler. Now, this next statement will cause some of you to get real angry. If Boo is taken on the first day ( first 3 rounds ), I will be pleasantly surprised. I just hope he is taken the second day!
I really thought Dusty Rust played a lot at OLB. I do remember watching him many times & saw him make some very good tackles.
