Irish Mob '13 Player Comparisons

[arrowryan]

So u think Kinlaw end up at WR? He's definitely the biggest enigma in this class

Yes, but I wouldn't be surprised if he moves around once or twice. But I see him starting out at receiver because of the log jam at safety

Totally read that as enema at first. I was very confused as to what you were getting at...

 

[Buster Bluth]

Player comparisons have to be one of the worst parts of the sports fan culture.

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

Ha. Yeah. While I see your point, I'm a huge Deeb fan and think he is massively underrated whereas Matuska is right where he belongs, IMNSHO.

I'm not judging. I just thought the sequence was funny. And Deeb is a boss IMO

 

[irishpat183]

To me Jaylon Smith is more of a Dion Jordan type of player. A LB who can cover a lot of ground because of his athleticism. Not a natural, strictly pass-rusher like Aldon Smith.

Greg Bryant - Trent Richardson

Jaylon Smith - Dion Jordan

Hunter Bivin - Barrett Jones

Max Redfield - Clinton Dix

Isaac Rochell - Tyson Jackson

Agree wth these except:


Max Redfield- Sean Taylor

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Jaylon Smith = Julian Peterson

Long, lean athletes. I remember watching a Niner game years ago where Peterson lined up at D-End, linebacker and safety. Jaylon has the same versatility and a higher ceiling, IMO.

Yes completely agree. Nailed it.

[Cackalacky]

There has been a lot of talk of who Greg Bryant compares to and today on the II podcast this question was posed, what about other comparisons for the 2013 class?
Steve Elmer - Sam Young

[STLDomer]

Golden Tate and Taylor Mays in the same thread....

Brings back some good memories

Paging CraigKrenzel. Come tell your story of meeting Taylor Mays

 

[NDhoosier]

The only comparison that fits for Deeb is Brian Urlacher, anything else is less accurate.

 

[NDdomer2]

absolutely hate the term "poor man's"

if smythe = Carlson I'm jacked

 

[GreenSox04]

Hard to compare a Pro Bowler and All American to a 3 recruit...

but you shouldn't look at the stars!!!!

JJ watt fits this bill.

 

[IrishLax]

Alright I'll play.

Max Redfield = Marquis Lee (as a safety prospect)

Michael Deeb = Wes Welker

Greg Bryant = Montee Ball... do not understand Theo comparisons at all.

Cole Luke = Vontez Duff... just think his film screams playmaker

John Montelus = No idea...

Tarean Folston = Faster, less agile/versatile Theo Riddick

Devin Butler = Sergio Brown

Jaylon Smith = Better Anthony Barr

Torii Hunter Jr. = Ryan Broyles

Will Fuller = TJ Jones

Durham Smythe = Wes Welker

Isaac Rochell = If KLM and Tuitt had a baby

Doug Randolph = Danny Spond with more power, maybe less fluidity

Hunter Bivin = Wes Welker

Rashad Kinlaw = Richard Sherman

Jacob Matuska = Wes Welker

Malik Zaire = Much less athletic Vick

James Onwualu = Golden Tate

Mike McGlinchey = Wes Welker

Corey Robinson = N/A... can't think of a player like him

Mike Heuerman = Wes Welker

Steven Elmer = Wes Welker

Colin McGovern = Wes Welker

Personally, I think the white players look more like Joe Jurevicius than Wes Welker, Lax.

 

[GreenSox04]

Finally some depth in the slot.

Flirting with a neg rep there, buddy. Them's fightin' words.

 

[ACamp1900]

Jaylon Smith=Chuck Norris

 

[TheTurningPoint]

Pretty much. As a Rams fan he came to mind. Looks more like a 4-3 end than a 3-4 end or OLB. His defensive film seemed pretty raw.

I'm guessing u disagree?

Nah. I didnt know if you guys were comparing their physic or game haha.

Wheres Vernaglia?

 

[RDU Irish]

Deeb= Brian Urlacher

So is Deeb going to play safty and wide receiver while returning punts at times in college? Love to see him run a 4.59 forty at 258 pounds like Urlacher did in the combine (after playing 20 pounds lighter the previous season).

Sirius NFL channel interviewed his college coach a while back. Amazing story. After 3 days of camp every position coach but qb wanted him. Had no offers when NM got him.

 

[ulukinatme]

I said the same thing about the Sam Young = Steve Elmer comment. I hope that's not true.

Actually got to see a number of his UNM games (my brother was at UNM at that time). Man he was amazing. He did everything on the field. Played offense, defense, special teams. On each he was a huge presence. As much as I like Deeb he is no where near the athletic freak Urlacher was.
