I'm not sold on him, either. He hasn't shown he's good with contact and only had one ability in rushing the passer: run right by him. For a guy his size, that's startling. But again, I just think there's been a lot of info about him and Reese visiting the program to see him. If they go elsewhere I wouldn't be upset. He's just as much a risk as Jack is with his injury situation.I'm not really sold on Floyd, after the last experiment with a 3/4 linebacker.
As for the 3-4 stuff, guys like Adrian Tracy and Clint Sintim never had the athleticism that Floyd has and he's shown he's a better cover 'backer than those two could ever do. They're just different players. Maybe argue a better comparison is Damontre Moore. He had the size for the DE position but he did not have the smarts or stregnth to keep up as a full time starter. That said, [for Floyd] he's a WLB in this defense and you have to wonder if he is even a starter Day 1. In all likelihood he starts out as a 3rd down guy and ST'er.
