Cant wait for him to be a solid player, which is what usually happens when swaye or ddy make these posts
I want this to be true but the comparison doesn’t work. BBK was playing and producing as a true freshman. He had more tackles and sacks in his freshman year than Manu has in 4 years in the program.dannarc said:Manu is the next BBK....LIPO
The difference is DDY was always wrong about BBK. He is an elite athlete. His 4.56 forty at the NFL combine was 6th among linebackers and his three cone drill was tops. I remember watching his high school track film when he committed and he was anchoring 4x100 relays.
BBK haters saw an undersized and *ahem* melanin deficient MLB go for a few pony rides and dismissed his talent and athleticism. But sacrificing size for speed/quickness is less of a concern against RPO and spread offenses. He was an effective linebacker even before his monster defensive POY season.
Manu is somewhere between JAG and huge liability. -
The problem I’ve always had with DDY’s analysis is the bias against guys he didn’t like as recruits. Once they get to UW, production is production.HonestDon said:

When BBK or Myles Bryant missed a play, it was singled out and pounded. Guys he liked miss plays all the time and he doesn’t say anything. Joyner was picked on a few times against Stanford’s bigger WR’s too in 2017. Molden came in that game and gave up a 40 yard pass, yet all that he pounded away at was Myles Bryant.
I’ve always said if BBK was named Jamal Williams, the view would be that he’s super quick and active albeit undersized. Since BBK was white and a recruit he hated, it was that he was small, weak, and we desperately needed to level up. -

Myles Bryant was very good last year. I don’t understand wtf ppl talking about.

Bryant has everything but height. He struggled against players like Arcega-Whiteside because of that.FirePete said:Myles Bryant was very good last year. I don’t understand wtf ppl talking about.

IMO the coaches have got better at shading him away from covering those type of guys one on one. Going to be interesting to see how they use him as the nickel/safety/striker on our defense.Mad_Son said:

dude he had some issues 2 years ago, but last year he was very good. he did miss couple of tackles, but overall he was very good.Mad_Son said:

Like I said he has everything but height. Does that sound like me saying he isn't very good?FirePete said:
