    Best UM Defender Since Sean Taylor

    Stubbs was an incredible rusher. Could get moved out on running plays by bigger OLs. Still, a legitimate All-American.

    Only a RS freshman. Have a lot of talent returning on DL. Hope they stay healthy so we can see what they can do. Need to find some LB depth. Future is bright, in my humble opinion. Need to see more before I'm ready to throw in the towel on Stroud and Baker. Young coaches can get better, as can...

    I absolutely loved Medearis' game. One of the great tragedies that his career was destroyed by a malicious hit. He was so extraordinary the way he burst into the scene as an unstoppable pash rusher as a sophomore. But he could never make plays the way Ted could. Go back and find my recent post...

    Fully agree and as I posted elsewhere on this board, I vividly remember OJ's statement on national TV most likely in December 1968. Ted was the best. And Rousseau seems to have some of the same rare physical characteristics as Ted that none of our other great DEs had, not Rusty, not Kevin...

    This guy could turn out to be better....much, much better. Did you ever see Hendricks play? May be much closer to Ted than anything I've seen at UM. Different era, different game, sure. But look what I see in Rousseau that is so reminiscent of Ted. If it turns into consistent production and...

    Yet, as I have stated, Rousseau has some physical attributes I have not seen at the U since Hendricks. No other DE at Miami has had the kind of reach, length, balance and ability to continue making a play after getting blocked that Ted had. What I saw yesterday by Rousseau on some plays I have...

    You can't say that about ST26 if you've never seen Ted Hendricks. You just can't. As great as ST was, Ted did it for longer and just completely changed the complexion of an entire game, game after game, as he entirely shut down one side of the offense. Yes ST was amazingly fast and strong, and...

    I don't remember a DE at Miami who had the physical qualities of Ted Hendricks to the extent this kid does. We have had some great DEs with great production. I think Greg Mark had 16 or 18 sacks on the 1989 team. I don't know if that's the UM sack record. If this kid's production matches that...

    None are even close to what Rousseau is rapidly becoming. Only true dominator, like Rousseau, was ST26. Like I said, second coming of the Mad Stork. Look at Rousseau run past a blocker, put his hand on the ground to maintain balance and just keeps going. Reaching out to make a shoestring sack...

    Uncanny in how much he reminds me of Ted Hendricks. That length and reach are unreal. And much bigger, stronger and faster.
