Michael Pinckney was the 2nd best LB on our team last year...
Chad Thomas is a beast.

I actually knew you would say that lol.Ray's on another level altogether, I think. When I reference Pinkney and Barrow, it's because of slipping and covering multiple gaps just with instinct.You can tell Diaz loves Pinkney and stays on him to make him great. I've mentioned I saw Pinkney do things I hadn't seen around UM since Nate Webster and Mike Barrow. He is a f'in natural.
Best natural lb i ever saw was ray lewis as a frosh at miami. Of all the guys since, spence had the best natural lb instincts, imo. And love me some barrow and webster. But sounds like a separate discussion.
what a jokeNot necessarily...... Owens probably would have been a starter Pickney's freshman year had he not had the leg injury. Owens has upped his game. It will be a battle. Just because you started the previous year is no guarantee you start the next year (ala Joe Yearby). Competition will determine who starts. Both will play. What is clear is that the coaching staff wants a 1a and 1b playing at a high level at all positions on the 2 deep chart.
That is how you build a championship team.
Had Nate been allowed to play in 2000, Tuiasosopo wouldn't have run for a thousand yards on our D. And we'd have another national title.I have a different appreciation for just how good Nate Webster was watching film now in my 30's than I did watching him in the 90's as a teen. Dude was a str8 beast.
Owens flashed as a freshman despite a horrid defensive system and coaching.
Precisely...That practice stuff and mat drills and swinging dumbbells is all fine and dandy. But give me the dog who kills the other team on the football field.
Pinck had a phenomenal Freshman year, I got nothing against Owens, but his entire career hasn't looked half as good as Pinckney's TF season.
His speed, his natural instincts, his incredible tackling ability, his Pass coverage & even playing injured last year...
The kid is a true warrior & has future NFL ability, people I guess just need their memories refreshed.
Your basically describing what Owens looked like as a TF.
LOL. You guys were watching some other dude named Owens if you thought he played well as a freshmans.
Pre injury he showed exactly what the three freshmen shown. He was explosive, athletic and could be used in different ways. Obviously he isn't the same anymore but two years removed from his knee injury it would be nice to see that type of player again.
I beg to differ... Shaq was matched with Cook for most of the game .. his assignment... except the 80 yd haul when Shaq blitzed and Pink was on CookPinckney is better than Owens & I'm not gonna argue with y'all over it.
Get back to me in September/October & let's revisit the topic then.
I like Owens a lot but there's no debate , not even an argument. Pink was the most complete lb of the crew last year. Honestly I think mccloud has the most upside.
