Feel like we had Chatfield visit on the first OV weekend to secure his commitment. That didn't happen and now UF gets the crucial last OV. Sounds like we lead but we need to continue putting the heat on with this UF visit looming.
I think the smoke here is real. Losing Chatfield to Florida would be a total failure and kind of bizarre. Doesn't really make sense. If he is going to Florida because of **** then he is a moron.
I keep hearing about some chick being the impetus for a potential UiF commitment, but the bigger concern I have is someone getting in his ear about playing OLB in a 3-4 defense. If I had his ear, I might remind Chatfield that of the 32 NFL teams, only 12 sported a 3-4 defense last season. So there is a greater demand for a 4-3 pass-rushing DEs than 3-4 OLBs. I'd remind him that the financial numbers bear this out as well, as the 2017 franchise tag for DEs was $16.934 million vs. $14.550 million for LBs.
He does fit better as an OLB in a 3-4 though. Just being objective.
IMO he's too small to be highly regarded as a 4-3 DE.
My rebuttal to that is how many LB’s or DE’s has Hillbilly Mullen sent to the league?
