Let me preface this by saying, I think Jaylon is a stud and will be awesome at ND, especially because the way he played at the AA game. I also noticed the size of a lot of his opponents were rather small, he on average looked bigger than quite a few of the opposing teams olineman.

I saw him play against the Division I (big school) Ohio High School runner up, who beat the Division II Champion by 40somthing points. Whitmer didn't look that good, but it turns out they interrupted their tendencies (see what ND coaches didn't do and Nick Saban did in the NC game) which resulted in an off score of 20-3. This was just before the coach at Jaylon's high school got fired. They totally misused Jayon; I would have moved him around on defense, and not just used him on third and long on offense (who do you think was getting the ball.)

Whitmer was not the biggest team I ever saw, but they were plenty big, bigger than Leurs. But I can tell you who was the best player on the field, by far. And I don't think top level Ohio competition is that bad of a gage. Jaylon also had an astounding ability to change direction, and move laterally on defense and his acceleration was insane. You think it was freakish on tape? There were a couple plays that the Whitmer QB didn't even register fear, just surprise and puzzlement.

I would be concerned about that if I didn't watch him terrorize during the AA game.

That's how I felt/feel too, I was just pointing out what I noticed

I'm picking up what you're laying down. I think most of us saw the same thing- the kid is a truly unique and freakish talent. So glad to have him help make the LBing corps that much more athletic.

Harbaugh did it alllllll the time at Stanford and still does it at SF.

Bring in 2 more tackles, put one at FB and the other at TE or wing. then push.

we should do what UT does with their linebacker on offense

No thanks. I have watched a lot of UT games this year, and all it is is a power wildcat. They didn't have a RB that could break a tackle so they put a linebacker in the backfield. It was always predictable and never worked against good competition.

I hope I never see Kelly running the wildcat. Everyone knows how to defend against it now and, there it no threat to pass.

Only teams with dominant ground games can afford to be predictable in the red zone. We aint there yet.

BK recruited RBs to play RB and LBs to play LB. That system has worked pretty well so far. I think we should stick to it.

Thought he ran it with Riddick several times?

Russell is a CB. McDaniel was a CB for a time.

He didn't recruit either of those guys as RBs or CBs. He recruited both of them as 'skill' athletes that would be put wherever they could best help the team.

These two, maybe more so than any two players BK has recruited, truly show what BK meant by recruiting versatile skilled athletes that were the right kind of guys - these kids are truly great individuals who simply love to play football and will put the team's betterment above themselves to win.

8 inch heels are pretty magical... I'd say she was actually only like 5'4 or so. Met her in the Nashville airport. My twin took the pic he was too scared to get in the picture lol

And for context jaylon was tweeting about watching her movie hence the miley tweet haha.
