re: We will be ok. Chavis has a system that wrecks havoc and breeds playmakers

The thing is, as a nickle back, he was somewhat a product of chavis' system.

Yep. In 2009, Wisconsin did somtheing similar with unheralded true freshman Chris Borland. The Wisconsin Badger's 2009 stat line looked eerily similar to Mathieu's from 2010.


Borland - 54 tackles, 10.5 tfls, 5 sacks, 5 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recoveries, 1 int
Mathieu - 57 tackles, 8.5 tfls, 4.5 sacks, 5 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recoveries, 2 ints


Mathieu was an ideal candidate for the position with his instincts, aggressiveness, and penchant for finding the ball. But Chavis put him in a very unique position to be a playmaker.
