FIRE. BRENT. PRY.

 

[2020 is Our Year]

I really do think Amani Oruwariye is underrated on this board. I won't be shocked to see him go in the top 20 if he runs well at the combine/pro day.

The media got it right with Yetur Gross-Matos. Not sure how he's third team by the coaches. He has to at least be 2nd IMO

That chase winovich is on this over YGM, chase young, and epenesa is an f'n joke. Guess having cool hair, playing dirty, and making up a revenge tour are good for something...

What a joke. Of course, I’m sure the coaches don’t have much time to vote on these types of things. Also, I’m not sure how the scoring works, but coaches will often downgrade a better player so their guy has a better chance of making first or second team.

 

[PSU.:.]

Matos 3rd team coaches
Joke
He was one of the most dominate defensive player in country for second half of the season.

Can't remember last time PSU had a first team BIG db.

How is Gary on there? Didn’t he miss about half the season? And when back, what was so impressive?

 

[cjrugger]

It's a waste of time to bother asking the coaches to vote

Congrats to our boys, awesome defensive job this season!

Agree on YGM. Also on AO but if he had made a play vs MSU he wouldn’t be

 

[Norm Petersin]

YGM is a beast. Parsons will light it up next year

The technical term is ‘Jabrilled’.

 

[HazletonLion]

Gary doesn't belong on the second team let alone first.

givens is severely underrated by many in the media & coaching staffs. may not have huge numbers but constantly demands more than one man attention. the guy creates chaos on nearly every play. coach chaos has this line playing at a high level.

Michigan has 5 first team, 1 second team, and 5 honorable mention defensive players. Where were they last Saturday against Ohio State??

And player B had more help, other first teamerrs to occupy the offense

I agree on Amani - he’s been very, very good the past two years. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him make his way onto an All-American team.

And, get this - Penn State has NEVER had a defensive back drafted in the first round. Amani has a real shot to be the first.

It would interesting to find out when the ballots were given to the coaches.

He’s also a beautiful young woman.

[not so fast my friend]

He’s also a beautiful young woman.

Not really.

 

[Obliviax]

Simply a "Miss America" contest for football players. Gary and YGM are an easy case in point . Gary was a consensus pick before the season started. Nobody was going to let facts get in the way.

A buddy of mine replied to this with:

"Chasing Parris Campbell, Dwayne Haskins, Chris Olave, and JK Dobbins most of the time..."

What do you mean? UMs D was all over the field....
Left shoe at the 25, right shoe at the 28, jock strap at the 32, playoff hopes at the 38, dignity at the 45.

 

[83wuzme]

I have to laugh particularly at the number of Michigan DB’s on that list. They got absolutely smoked by tOSU’s receivers. Of course, Haskins had all the time in the world to throw.
