Stl Bills Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I for one would be very happy if we got him at 11 and then moved Poz outside. The guy is an absolute beast would actually bring a little physicallity to our D. He can really lay the wood and set the tone for our Defense.
BeastMode54 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 There are a lot of question marks coming out about him this week. Scouts question his desire, and he seems to be out of shape. They say he has great straight line speed, but lacks quickness to change direction. 40 times will be crucial for him at the Combine. I also see no way we move Poz to the outside.
High Mark Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Wy would we target Maleuga. O yes... because we like to see our LBs burnt in coverage every week. Draft a LB worth a damn in coverage. Nic Harris or Brian Cushing
BeastMode54 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I wouldn't mind Cushing at all. I think he'll be much better than Rey, IMO
/dev/null Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Nobody mentions him because nobody can pronounce his name
BuckyFillUps Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Nobody mentions him because nobody can pronounce his name mall-ayyyyyyyeeee-uuuuuuuuu-gaaaa!!! that and he's the most overrated LB this year.
Pete Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I wouldn't mind Cushing at all. I think he'll be much better than Rey, IMO same here
JPicc2114 Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Cushing is one of the fastest LBs coming out this year and he hits like a truck.
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Rey Maualuga is the best player in this draft. A bigger, better version of the safety for the Steelers. Have you guys seen him play? And have you seen him at the Senior Bowl practices? He is making the blockers look like statues. Oh but he looks a little fat..... anyone who questions his desire doesn't know much about him. He is a beast and I really don't want to see him tearin OUR QB's head off for the next twelve years. If we pass on him we are fools. Cushing is good but does not have near the instincts that Rey has. And no I am not a scout but I am a season ticket holder. Cushing has the measurables and is good but Maualuga is all-pro material. But we'll probably draft the DE from Penn St. Gotta love those Lions!
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Cushing is one of the fastest LBs coming out this year and he hits like a truck. When he gets to him
/dev/null Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 When he gets to him Cushing and Schobel together would be hillarious You head towards Rochester and I'll head towards Erie. Then we'll meet at the QB
Buffaloed in Pa Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 You haven`t seen me posting about this for weeks now? This guy will be a beast inside. Poz has already played alot of outside at Penn St. This with one of the PROVEN DE`s In free agency,No drafting of a De,please. A vet Wr ,and just this would be a huge improvement of our team. Every team has it`s weaknesses. But these moves will Make us alot better.Draft a Te in the 2nd and add a cheap vet Qb.

The guy is an absolute beast would actually bring a little physicallity to our D. He can really lay the wood and set the tone for our Defense. He is in the mix started out slow in the Senior bowl practices came on strong late in the week. Should have a great game today he is one of 2-5 options at 11.
High Mark Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 If you guys like Cushing, keep an eye out for Nic Harris tonight. I have been preaching him for the whole season, now I think he will show up big time playign LB for the first time.
colin Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 he looked pretty effing good in the coverage of the bowl practices i've seen. monster against the run and rushing the passer. i bet he could drop 10 15 pounds and be decent in coverage too. agree w the polimaulu comparison -- dude goes full speed all the time and imo has big plays in him. him, poz, and crow, w mitchell competing (maybe beating out poz?) would really be a sick lb core. throw in a new DE in FA and we'll be top 5 or 10 on d with some turnovers and such.
colin Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 maybe cuz he is a 34 ILB? nah, i think he could play in most any system.
H2o Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Maualuga is a beast, but lacks the coverage skills to play the MLB spot in a "Cover 2" defense. He'd fit well in Philly's defensive scheme that has alot of stunts and blitzing.
