LABills08 Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Saw him tonight. The real deal. Please draft him.
H2o Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Still watching him play and I think we've already established this my friend.
jonnyb Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Totally agree. Our linebackers have been weak for too many years....
AllDayADay Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Cody is a 2-down player, while McClain was every where on every down. I see McClain being a nice ILB with Poz in a 34 scheme. I also like that defensive end on Alabama Marciellius Dareus. There were a lot of good defensive prospects in that game
Fewell733 Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 he looked good but I don't know. He didn't look #9 overall good for a linebacker. I didn't see the freakish athleticism I was led to believe that I would see. Did Cody even play on defense last night? The only time I saw him on the field was playing fullback.
nostyle126 Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Remember that meaningless win against Indy when McClain gets taken a pick or two ahead of us, at a spot that we woulda had if we hadn't won that meaningless game.

gonzo1105 Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 he looked good but I don't know. He didn't look #9 overall good for a linebacker. I didn't see the freakish athleticism I was led to believe that I would see. Did Cody even play on defense last night? The only time I saw him on the field was playing fullback. The reason why he doesn't get to show off is because Saban doesn't let him just free lance and let him do what he wants. McClain's job for that defense is to put everyone in the right position and clean up everything there. If you didn't notice in the game he doesn't blitz very much he drops a lot into coverage. He almost had a leaping INT last night. If I had to say that the guy has a weakness it would be his blitzing. At times , I thought he looked very lazy coming in for a blitz. I dont know if he was waiting for something to set up or not but I thought he could have done a better job then that. He is good at run stuffing and dropping into coverage. He leads his defense and isn't required to be Mr. Everything.

I am just not sure that he looked like a top-10 pick for a linebacker - cause they are rare (unless he runs some crazy times in the combine)
1billsfan Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Saw him tonight. The real deal. Please draft him. Too late, Miami drafted him... http://www.gbnreport.com/2010projection.html
Hazed and Amuzed Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Too late, Miami drafted him... http://www.gbnreport.com/2010projection.html Wow that's one of the worst mocks I've seen in a while. Stl, Det, KC and Oakland are all going to pass up Okung? lol I'd like to see that and if it DOES happen then that's the pick but UNLESS that happens I say you gotta go McClain.
DaGimp Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 i thought he was busy killing german terrorists?
Trader Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Remember that meaningless win against Indy when McClain gets taken a pick or two ahead of us, at a spot that we woulda had if we hadn't won that meaningless game. There are some excellent players available with the number 9 pick and they are at positons where we have needs. I am actually more worried about the later picks.
jangalang Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 He had a great game last night even though he was sick as a dog the days prior. McClain is a stud.
bartshan-83 Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Too late, Miami drafted him... http://www.gbnreport.com/2010projection.html FYI....my anti-virus software just zapped a Trojan Horse on that site. Just a heads up for others...
CountDorkula Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Can we just draft the Alabama front 7. It would make things so much easier.
BS78 Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Saw him tonight. The real deal. Please draft him. Looks good, but tough to judge playing behind those massive DTs. They keep the o-line off him and he runs free.
