The key though, is that he is relentless and never quits.
Time will tell. It is easy to claim you are 'right' in February. Lets see what happens come December.

So the key to an OLB is tackling guys 20 yards down field, and having a high vertical?
He's stiff as a ****ing board. Have you watched him try to cover a FB in the flat? It's ****ing laughable.
I know a lot of athletes that never quit. Problem is that they aren't talented or athletic enough to make a difference.
