[QUOTE="porky88, post: 143307, member: 489"] Where did Texas pass defense rank in the country? Here is your top 50. [url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/ncaa/stats/2006/divia/team/passing_defense_byPASSYDS_PER_GAME.html]http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/ncaa/stats/2006/divia/team/passing_defense_byPASSYDS_PER_GAME.html[/url] I think it was in the 80's. I‘m not putting it all on Griffin but he was a big reason why they struggled so much. Texas had a lot of guys who were out of position. Griffin being one of them. Maybe it was bad coaching but I wouldn‘t doubt Texas‘ coaching staff. Griffin is out of position a lot of the time. I've watched enough on him to come to the conclusion that he is a great run stopper but a below average (awful may of been extreme) pass defender. He has the potential to be a playmaker but he’ll need a lot of coaching to improve his ability to defend the pass. I think he’s a late 1st round pick because of his potential and he worked out well but the weak part of his game is playing the pass specifically the deep ball. That’s why I bring up the Roy Williams comparison. Roy Williams is not good against the pass. In fact he’s very average but he’s amazing in the run support. Griffin is almost a copy of Williams in those regards. He’s not the prospect Williams was coming out but he does have a lot of similarities. I think the Packers are in position were they don’t need the run support but rather someone who can defend the deep ball. That’s where I agree with Pyle because Nelson can definitely defend the deep ball. [/QUOTE]
