Clay Matthews

He's 6'3", 246. He's fine for the OLB spot when it comes to size.

 

i'm a big fan of his as a pass rusher

 

Lol well they may be, considering the sizes of OT's.

 

I have liked what I have seen from him. Never stops going.

 

good judgment prevented me from making a horrible tacky joke here

 

i like him a lot. i'd take him early

 

Yeah, Charles what's-his-face was really high on him. He mentioned him on NFL.com with Mike Mayock. And yeah, he did look small compared to the lineman! That being said he did look like a fit for the Dolphins...

 

I am interested to hear Boomer and co. on this one, I live in Florida so we didnt get a whole lot of USC games. And the ones that we did I spent more time looking at Rey.

 

He's my favorite of the three USC backers, good pedigree too. Five years from now he'll be the best pro out of those three and would make me very happy if he was a Dolphin those five yrs and more.

 

I think he has big upside potential. I have literally seen 2 plays frm the Senior Bowl practices; the first when Shawn Nelson blew Maualuga up and the second when Quan Cosby got lit up by Chip Vaughn. But all the reports suggest that Matthews wasn't fazed by playing 3-4 LB. He looked very fluid in space and can get to the QB around the edge. The one year starter thing is an issue but he certainly has the NFL bloodlines and he improved through the season.

 

I think one reason why, is because the segment of the practice where they highlighted him, he was pass rushing against 6'6" and 320 lb Michael Oher and is only about 6'3" and 245 himself. I noticed how small Matthews looked too, and the only conclusion I can draw is the contrast to Oher.

 

If you mean the black guy who analyzes the players with Mayock and Burmeister, it is Charles Davis

Clay can be molded into a great Dolphin LB....... oh, i got puns!!! i got puns!!!

 

As much as he drew attention in the practices, Matthews was equally invisible in the game.

 

The Dline was that bad, no one could shine, not Matthews or Sintim or whomever, they were making plays in the second level all night.

 

Did he play after the first quarter? This is a serious question because I haven't gotten to the recorded game yet and I dont' recall him doing much after that first series, in which he did a good job of mirroring the tight end in coverage.
