Taylor Mays is the best ever

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Taylor Mays is an excessively hyped up version of Aaron Rouse.

Aaron Rouse is not good.

Also, lol at the idiots using number of tackles to judge who the best safety is. Under this logic, Gibril Wilson and Eric Weddle were the best safeties in the NFL last year. A high number of tackles is never a good thing for a DB, because it means they are getting beat in coverage on a consistent basis.

Or that's the corners job to cover the WR, so Berry getting 70 tackles means he is getting beat in coverage all the time? Then explain his 7 picks.

Naw we'll just take him with our first round pick. Thanks though.

I thought you guys traded it to Seattle? My bad.. didn't know you had two.

Not saying he's the best ever or in College football right now... But Major Wright can play.

Yeah Major Wright is my favorite safety in College Football, he hits hard and has a nose for the ball.

Yeah dude, remember that whole Jay Cutler thing? I dunno, maybe it's just because I check denverbroncos.com every day that I'm on the up and up with all the subtle team transactions...

Forgot to study the details.

Tackles are never a good stat to judge players.

How does a high number of tackles mean they are getting beaten consistently, though? Mike Doss was an All-American on the nation's best defense in 2002 and the man led that team in tackles with over 100.

A lot of safeties (Including Mays and Berry) are so instinctive, quick, and take such good angles that they end up with a lot of tackles in the run game.

agreed, but Taylor Mays is pretty good though.

Taylor Mays = 6'3', 238, 28 bench presses of 225, 4.32 speed, 41" vertical.

Eric Berry = 5'11" 190, 4.33, 32" vertical. No bench press record found.

Nuff said!!

In all seriousness though, USC's safeties rarely ever put up great stats because they play so far back (especially the FS). Mays is literally the last line of defense on 90% of the snaps and lines up around 20 yards behind the LOS.

I don't care about what Mays does in the NFL. He is a beast in college and will strike fear into the hearts of men. I almost fear that he will kill somebody this year because he is just too awesome to be playing college football.

That doesn't mean shit on the football field.

It does when you start for USC and your highlight tape is full of you murdering wide receivers.

That doesnt mean much.

Sure a 4.32 speed is good. But thats running fresh and without pads. He's not going to be that fast in the Fourth Quarter. I can guarentee you that.

Somebody's been watching too much 4th and Long. Thanks Michael Irvin!

And refer to post #43 for my response to that.

 

[zack54attack]

I have never seen that show. So I dont know what your talking about.

 

[Tailback U]

Remember that one year when that Safety won the National Championship all by himself?

I don't care about national championships. I only care about Taylor Mays.

I wonder when fans will realize physical attributes dont mean much on the field.

Having fast/slow reaction completely supersedes and negates all this.

One of the best safeties in all of football is fuckin 5'8.

Taylor Mays is a 10 foot beast man who showers in vodka and feeds his baby shrimp scampi!!

Maybe so but none of that helps him play defense.
