[QUOTE="GreenBaySlacker, post: 608138, member: 9780"] 230 is when ILBs are considered light for sure. But consider he is 6' tall. and 228 is pretty big for a lean 6' guy... One could speculate he could put on some muscle too. If he was inclined to do so... Also, the goods and the bads need to be weighed out. Does his cover skills compensate for getting knocked backwards while making a tackle some time? Does his great speed(for ILB) compensate for his rookie curve of learning a new position and techniques? And as far as Mathews playing safety in college. Thats just what I read on his scouting report when he was drafted. He was much smaller as a walk on freshman. I dont believe he got a scholarship to USC. The story told about his confidence in himself, even though outward appearance he wasnt a D1 prospect at the time. And as a freshman he played some safety first before his growth spurt made him a LB soon after... And by the time he was drafted, he had a well rounded education playing DE too... Call me a liar if you want, thats how I understood it. [/QUOTE]
