The Lions' Pride

Not buying the safety talk... Hes 230... I think they put 10 lbs on him and play him inside. I hope we get the NT from UW so that an athlete like him can run free and hit... the 34 is designed to let LBs run and hit... This guy can fly, is fluid in coverage and can tackle... over 300 in his Miami career... The only flag with him for me is the 12 reps at the combine... But since then its been reviled that it was a SR bowl injury- deep bone bruise in his shoulder- and that he normally does 19-20 on the bench regularly... He said he'd send him doing 19-20 reps in a video out to teams after his pro day (because he still wasn't completely healed at his pro day). I trust our staff and scouts and doctors evaluating him... The idea is to put size on him... hes 231 now, but I have no doubt that our staff can get him to 240 without losing his hips or explosiveness... But JMO. But coach Keith Butler saying in the presser that he will play inside, to me, outweighs whatever rumors are floating around and agrees with my post here...

Boulder i think he's talkin about the NT from Washington Name is Alameda Ta'amu if he's there in the 4thrd when the Steelers turn to pick i think they take him.

Steelers have 7 picks today, second most, so if they want to move around to get Ta'amu they'll be able to move if needed.
