Mebane did fine in the one last year anyway, so if he had to move back - it wouldn't be a huge loss.Rob Statonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481945325907207562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-5649332498486358352009-08-03T13:07:41.211-07:002009-08-03T13:07:41.211-07:00So I watched another Nebraska game, this time agai...So I watched another Nebraska game, this time against VT. Suh actually made a huge blunder that might of cost NEB the game, a late-hit call on a RB clearly out of bounds. Aside from that, however, Suh played very well. Against VT there was a lot more 4-3 than 3-4, whether that is due to it being earlier in the year, or just how matchups worked, I don't know. He was operating mainly from the 3-technique spot and just murdered the RG all game long... IIRC that RG will play on Sundays, too.<br /><br />I think if we took Suh I'd rather move Mebane back to the 1-technique. I'm not terribly impressed with his ability to anchor against double-teams, and while he continues to throw OL out of the way when he wants to, he is better when the play isn't directly at him (of course, he's so good at using his hands to shed blocks that this isn't a real weakness, and he does a good job beating OL, but an NFL double-team might overpower him). If we drafted Suh and moved Mebane back to his natural spot, I think we'd have the best pass-rushing DT combo in the league and arguably the best run-stopping too.Kyle Rotahttp://collegescout.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-40092296571993369822009-08-03T01:12:50.395-07:002009-08-03T01:12:50.395-07:00He's played NT in the 3-4 for Nebraska, so I&#...He's played NT in the 3-4 for Nebraska, so I'm guessing he possibly could for Seattle in the 4-3.<br /><br />However, Seattle rotate their DT's so much during a game, legitimately you could have Mebane and Suh spelling each other, at least during Suh's rookie year.Rob Statonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481945325907207562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-53876014931170885522009-08-02T21:18:43.965-07:002009-08-02T21:18:43.965-07:00Hey Rob,

Suh is only 305 and seems to be more of a penatrator then a guy who can withstand a double team. Would he work as a NT?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-34600414672143800392009-08-02T12:16:15.151-07:002009-08-02T12:16:15.151-07:00I hope it's that way round if it happens Erik!...I hope it's that way round if it happens Erik! I still think as a 4-12 team, injuries or not last year, the Seahawks have a lot of proving to do this year.Rob Statonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481945325907207562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-79092709111489066112009-08-02T12:08:53.420-07:002009-08-02T12:08:53.420-07:00If this guy stays as dominant as he looks right no...If this guy stays as dominant as he looks right now, we'll probably need the Broncos to completely fall apart in order to be able to get him. <br /><br />ErikAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
