86757, Miami-FL vs. UNC Posted by will_5198, Sun Oct-24-10 05:14 PM
OLB Sean Spence, Miami-FL (6'0, 220) -- Definitely undersized but he plays much tougher than he looks. Gets off linemen pretty quickly and isn't scared to challenge a blocker. Excellent flow to the ball. What stands out is his pass coverage, though -- he can run and cover nearly any back or tight end. Even when he was beat by Elzy (got caught overplaying the flat), he still managed to catch up and force a fumble at the goal-line. Just a real instinctive linebacker.
OLB Bruce Carter, UNC (6'3, 235) -- First round? I'm not seeing it. Plays most of the game at half-speed and disappears for long stretches. Gets physical one play then bows out the next. Bob Davie went nuts when he chased down a freshman running back (OMG wow!), yet had he played that fast the entire night, he could've stopped the Travis Benjamin touchdown too. Seems like a guy who knows the season has gone to shit, misses his senior classmates and is ready to cash his first NFL check.
