If that was sarcasm, I definitely missed that one.I was being sarcastic...............Karen!
Sorry Ken, didn't mean to trigger you.

Yeah, thus my comparison to him, regardless of position... at UF, both played with a motor, both have had injury issues.... oh, and both are white.Yeah, but even when he played, he wasn’t anything like he is in the NFL.
WTF? Princely absolutely didn't give a fuchs about run defense.Yeah, Princely was very lengthy and explosive and was always setting the edge with violence.
Yeah, but even when he played, he wasn’t anything like he is in the NFL.
You know it’s quality sarcasm when people aren’t sure it is sarcasm.I was being sarcastic...............Karen!
He did when he was on the field.Yeah, but they play different positions. But to your point, Anzalone did not exactly set the world on fire at UF.
He averaged about the same amount of tackles per game as Pyburn. And he was a linebacker.He did when he was on the field.
He was absolutely fantastic.
We aren't talking about stats, man. We're talking about football. Doing the right thing. When you're good at what you do teams don't run or throw at you.He averaged about the same amount of tackles per game as Pyburn. And he was a linebacker.
He has been a tackling machine in the NFL.
Anzalone was a 5* menace in high school. I’m not disputing his talent. I just don’t think his production was great at UF. That’s it.We aren't talking about stats, man. We're talking about football. Doing the right thing. When you're good at what you do teams don't run or throw at you.
Go back and look at his PFF grades. That's what matters.
But man it seems like he was hurt every freaking year.
We've had a few good run stopper middle linebackers over the last decade. They were generally limited though, not fast enough side to side or not capable in pass coverage. Ventrell and Morrison in particular. And some good side to side guys that weren't capable between the tackles especially if they had to take on a pulling guard.
When Anzaloni was healthy he was always that dude on the field who looked like the best player on the field. He's always been that guy.
Yeah, thus my use of the word "reminds"...Anzalone was a 5* menace in high school. I’m not disputing his talent. I just don’t think his production was great at UF. That’s it.
And although stats are similar, I don’t think Pyburn is on Anzalone’s level.
Yeah, I agree with youYeah, thus my use of the word "reminds"...

Linebacker Alex Anzalone did not put up the most eye-popping of collegiate numbers, appearing in just 33 games in four years for the Florida Gators, totaling 75 tackles and three sacks from 2013-16.
Those stats are rather pedestrian, but when he was on the field, Anzalone was visibly dominant. He became a starter during the 2015 season and was off to a solid start before suffering a shoulder injury in the second game that ended his season. His final year in 2016 was dominant, though. He had 53 tackles and three sacks in eight games, anchoring a defense that, when healthy, was one of the best in the country. Injury trouble struck again late in the season though, and Anzalone missed the final four games of the season.
Not even close. Trattou maybe or Bobby McCray.And although stats are similar, I don’t think Pyburn is on Anzalone’s level.
He had a chronic shoulder problem that needed surgery to fix. Not sure when he had it done but it's obviously made a difference. Shotani will probably be getting the same surgery.Yeah, but even when he played, he wasn’t anything like he is in the NFL.
Well that's not very nice.Take out #1 and spit on him when you’re done . **** all dwags
Jack is a decent player and solid against the run. He needs to perform well in this game for us to have a chance . Take out #1 and spit on him when you’re done . **** all dwags
He also lined up behind a guy named Caleb Brantley who cleaned up a lot of running plays before they ever got past the LOS....oh then this other guy named Jarrad Davis lined up next to him and was like white on rice for anything that did get past the LOS...He averaged about the same amount of tackles per game as Pyburn. And he was a linebacker.
We haven't had anyone at LBer since AA and Jarrad Davis within the same ballpark talentwise since they left...not even in the same zip code.We've had a few good run stopper middle linebackers over the last decade. They were generally limited though, not fast enough side to side or not capable in pass coverage. Ventrell and Morrison in particular. And some good side to side guys that weren't capable between the tackles especially if they had to take on a pulling guard.
Naaaaay... I DEMAND it.Let’s not forget we have Spikes on staff. I could totally see a full dry hump or eye gouging of ETN at some point in this game.
