like our chances because he's more of a 4-3 DE in my opinion and we're just a much better 4-3 defense then Clemson, Bama runs the 3-4 and I don't see him as a Jack LB

Htowntiger will not like your opinion

Its not a matter of liking or not liking someone's opinion. That's part of the whole disconnect, you guys don't understand a different point of view and reject it as a personal attack.

The point you guys are missing is that 34 vs 43 in college is no big deal. For staters, Bama does not have only 3 on the line at all times. They play 4 guys with a hand in the dirt at least half the time. Playing DE in a 3-4, even if he slides inside when they go to 4 DL most of the time won't matter to pro scouts. If he projects as a 4-3 DE at the next level, that's where he will be drafted. It does not matter where he plays in college, 34 DE, Jack LB or 43 DE. Mingo plays 4-3 DE, but will be drafted as a 3-4 OLB. Pro scouts will not care if RN has 5 sacks and not 10.
