and his big draw according to them is big run stuffing MLB. And against the closest thing to a pro OL and RB he sees, he is scared to death and missing tackles on purpose at best and just garbage at worst. And ND has just as much front seven talent as any SEC team per these same scout experts Mcshay and co. prior to the title game, so blaming it on his friends is not an excuse. he also gave them a gimme TD pass to the TE when he didn't even bother to cover him after a play action fake.


I'll say this in defense of Te'o, who I think is overrated myself.

James Laurinaitis made basically the exact read Te'o did in a National title game. I know he had like 17 tackles or something, but many of them against LSU were 6+ yards past the LOS. He ran a 4.8 at the combine

He has 500+ tackles in 4 NFL seasons.

you talking about the TD to the TE? That was an unbalanced line with the TE at tackle against lsu. Teo's was a regular goalline formation.

I do think Laurinaitis is Teo's comparison, but i also think lil Animal kinda sucks himself. Of course you will make a ton of tackles playing ILB for 16 games.
