I have known Lamar Myles from middle school. In middle school, he was already huge in size and very fast. We were on the same track team in 7th and 8th grade. He was the one winning all of the field events by a long shot! When in high school, I went to a diffrent school, but would always hear about him. Overall, Lamar is a BEAST! If a running back has the ball, just tell them not to run in Myles direction, unless he wants to be like ESPN “JACKED UP”

I played on at the same school in high and played by his side for a short time. Lamar is a freak of nature and the hardest working football player i’ve ever known. He is a beast and hits like he weighs a ton. And you dont think so just watch one of his shows in the gym.

I went to High School, and had the opportunity to be on the same football team there that Lamar was on, he’s a beast, but probably one of the nicest people you would ever meet. Rare combination of amazing talent, un-real strength, and great person overall. It’s a damn shame he wasn’t invited to the Combine this year, it would have been nice seeing a 220lbs. kid break the Larry Allen record for most bench reps. Unless i’m mistaken, I believe Lamar was pushing the 450-500 lbs. mark in high school.

Landon Johnson was about 220lbs when he came out…

But so was Caleb Miller. Both good players. One stayed healthy (somewhat) and the other couldn’t. Could go either way.

But a football player is a football player. Bottom line.

We have to move up to get Ellis, Campbell is a little more realistic since they still haven’t resigned Justin Smith.

Yes, Myles is little for a line backer, but remember we need players who can tackle. Myles is a pure tackler no matter what size he is, and he is great on open tackles.If Myles is still in the fourth round, grab him because I believe he will be a starter in 2-3 years.

The only thing we can hope to do is keep the offense strong so as to keep the defense off the field. The defense can be fixed, but I don’t think in one draft. We have to quit drafing underachievers on “D”, the list has went on for ten years or more-what did Justin Smith give us really? And he is not the only culprit-get some scouting boys. You could not foresee though, what happened with Pollock and Thurman-need some luck here and there.

People if you are going to do this, do it right. Let’s take off the CAPS LOCK and only hit “Post”, once. Trust me it will go through the first time if you don’t use any of George Carlins’ 7 words you can’t say on the DDN Web Site.

THEY MUST HAVE A SOLID LINE BOTH DEFENSE AND OFFENCE. THEY HAVE WASTED MANY PICKS ON (BEST ATHL. AVL) A QB IS ONLY AS GOOD AS HIS LINE. SIZE IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS DESIRE AND ABILITY. THE DEFENSE MUST HAVE A PASS RUSH, NEVER GIVE THE QB TIME TO PICK YOU TO PIECES. I THINK THEY NEED BETTER SCOUTS WHEN SERCING FOR NEW TALENT.

If we can’t get Glenn Dorsey or Sedric Ellis then we have to take the best available front 7 guy. That could be end, tackle or LB. End could be Calais Campbell from Miami, tackle Kentwan Balmer from UNC, I would like Keith Rivers LB from USC. Gholston could be an option but I would move him to OLB because 260 is too small for a DE in the NFL. I like Phillip Merling a DE from Clemson as well.

220lbs is pretty samll for linebacker. If he’s fast he would make a nice Strong Safety, sorta fit the old David Fulcher mold. Linebackers need to be 235 to 260 to stop the run in the NFL. That’s the Bengals problem, they go with too small of physical players on defense and wonder why team run all over them.

All we can do is hope our new D coordinator will help Marvin and company to pick the best guys.

Lance Briggs is only 6’1 240 and the best in the business. Look at Cato June…6’0 227. Size doesn’t mean everything…it’s what a guy can do with the size that he has. For an OLB a lack of girth than help him in coverage and sideline-to-sideline speed. The fact that he’s presently a “chiseled” 22 means that he’s an athletic, active 6’0 220 lb. OLB, which would always trump the 6’2 250 lb. guy who is limited in range and can’t cover.

How will they do in the upcoming draft? I’ll wait and see, and then laugh and snicker….

Everyone at this stage has potential. I just hope the Bengals don’t take him in round 3. There good at taking prople way too early. If Myles is there at round 5 then consider drafting him.

Isn’t he a little small for linebacker?? Hello! Looks like we’ll have problems again on defense if they are excited about a prospect like that!!
