#90 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 The guy is bursting with potential. He has the pedigree. I think he is our man in the 1st round! Pace, Harris, Scott, Matthews... That is a sweet LB core! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 6-3 240 does not a 3-4 OLB make. Matthews is a very good 4-3 prospect.... maybe an ILB in the 3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I'll punch someone in the face if we go defense at #17. I'm all for the BPA concept, but LB has to be off the board for the Jets this year in the first round. Calvin Pace, Vernon Gholston, and Bart Scott tie up enough salary dollars. Along with David Harris, I have to think they have LB covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFLs StepChild Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I attempted to crunch the #s on our LB corps and from what I could piece together it doesn't seem to be that big of a deal if we got another LB at 17 from a cost standpoint. They don't make as much as everyone thinks. Scott and Pace are the only truly heavy contracts. Vernon and BT are getting paid like mid range starters. Harris is getting chicken ****. With Barton out of the picture there is plenty of room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Clay Matthews simply does not fit in a 34 scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vengeful Odin Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Clay Matthews simply does not fit in a 34 scheme. I disagree ... but I think you know that already. He doesn't fit at OLB necessarily in a 3-4 scheme, but I think he's more than capable of playing inside at ILB in the scheme, particularly if he's being assigned coverage responsibilities and not being asked to penetrate and make plays behind the LOS. I also think though undersized, he can still play WOLB, he's stout at the point of attack, and isn't a liability against the run. He can't play SOLB ... I agree with that ... he's not a good enough pass rusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pragmatic Bus Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 clay mathews is the best read and react 3-4 type LB in the draft. look for belly or mangini to make a run at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Two LB'ers who signed enormous contracts in the past 2 off-seasons? check. A thumper who we drafted & who was good even in a read & react 3-4 defense with no NT? check. A top-10 draft pass-rushing specialist who failed in an attempt to be a read & react LB, and a HC who thinks he can turn him into something? check. Another former 1st round LB who was supposed to be a pass-rushing specialist also spending 3 yrs starting there in a read & react defense? check. I would be damn surprised if we touched the LB position prior to round 5, if we touch it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#90 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Clay Matthews Height: 6-3 | Weight: 246 | Position:LB | College: Southern California 246 LBS and Growing! Ascending player who may be just scratching the surface of his potential. Well-built athlete whose dedication in the weight-room is obvious in his physique. Reliable open-field tackler. Versatile defender who flashes as a natural pass rusher off the edge. Good speed upfield and has the balance and burst to redirect his rush. Good initial hand punch to pop the blocker and disengage. Good effort and speed in pursuit. Instinctive defender who played well in space as a traditional linebacker. Excellent special teams player. Twice named co-special teams player of the year (2005, 2006). Excellent bloodlines. Father, Clay, played 19 seasons at linebacker and made the Pro Bowl four times. Uncle, Bruce, made the Pro Bowl 14 times and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2007. Grandfather, also named Clay, played for the 49ers in the 1950s.
