re: Sack, Strip and Score - the TM7 way

Most similar in terms of disruption was the "original" LT, Lawrence Taylor. But HE was like 6'3 and 250 (and quite possibly coked out of his fricking helmet), whereas Mathieu is 5'9" and 175.

His genetics (size) are so unfortunate for him; if he was even average cornerback size he'd be top 5 in the draft. Get him to linebacker size and he's the top pick of the decade.

Hmmm, he IS just a sophomore, and Sam Mills was also just 5'9". And we DO have Claiborne and Simon out there. And finally, he does seem to be kinda playing linebacker anyway. I wonder if they try to beef him to maybe 200 lbs or so next year and try to make him a linebacker? (LSU's LBs tend to go 220 or so, fast but not huge)

Hell, he's already playing that spot anyway
