Sam Barrington - Speaks like a Linebacker

Hot damn.. that is what I want in a linebacker.. can't wait to see him in live hitting this preseason.

One player who lost his helmet in the madness was Barrington, who hasn't been bashful all camp. Since drawing the ire of McCarthy Day 1 in pads for his wincing hit of Jeremy Ross, Barrington has been making noise in this inside-running drill.

The drill, he said, is "real football." A few linemen on each side smack into each other with a running back carrying the ball.

"If you're a linebacker, a fullback, a lineman, if you don't love that drill, something's got to be wrong with you," Barrington said. "That just shows how much this team wants to compete and get better and sometimes it gets heated. But I guarantee it's nothing personal. It's all about love and it's just football.

"You have to go in there and get your fit. This is the NFL. So if you half-step, you might get put on your butt. You have to go in there and give it all you've got. But at the same time, you have to be smart and not do anything foolish to hurt your team."

I think this is a player who is gonna be better in the NFL than he was in college. Just like Datone jones.

Hope he makes the team. We need more hard hitting LBs.

Sam Barrington has been really impressive. Being picked so late, he could easily wind up on a list of draft steals from 2013. I cannot see him not making this roster. He looks that good. Just what we needed.

Why?

Because it is the type of attitude this defense needs.. a couple of ass kickers in place of a couple wannabee pretty boys showing up in commercials for their hair or riding off the glory boy's gig.

I'm really looking forward to the pre season games this year. It seems we have a number of late draft choice and UFAs with some outstanding potential. Now, if they can apply it in the games...

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

beast (10h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (10h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (20h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (20h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (23h) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (23h) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Ben going to Bears. He'll be out in 3 years.

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : what's so funny?

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
