osi724dasack Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Guy has ridiculous instincts and talent, $0.05 brain, maybe we can get a quarter into that brain and make it $0.30 or more. This guy is bucket loads better then Connor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiLLaKyLe Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I'd be down. I thought he was going to be the pick the year he was drafted. I think he'd fit better in a 3-4 defense, but I wouldn't mind having him as a two-down thumper in the middle or strong side. Can't hurt, but I wouldn't give him more than $1m.

TrashTalker92 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I really wanted the Giants to draft this dude and was pissed when raiders went overboard early on him. Maybe he's played in a shit system and needed a little guidance. The talent is there, unsure about the mental part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This... but you'd have to wonder how much a toll your psyche takes playing for the raiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightFire Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 What's the mark against him? Bad attitude and not too bright. I think it takes a lot for the Raiders to suspend you. He's not that good but he did play for the Raiders which is a black hole anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigblue25 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Never liked him, even out if Alabama. He is slow and really not that great of a talent. I like Connor better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osi724dasack Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Imagine we sign MClain and the light goes on and he plays like a 1st rounder, and Rivers stayed healthy and played like a top 10 guy, all the sudden LB could be a strength along with my main man JWill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I must have been asleep, I thought Mclain was regarded as a pretty solid linebacker for most of his career? I find it hard to believe he's worse than Dan Connor, anyway.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osi724dasack Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 McLain had been very solid indeed. Very solid out there. He's been an absolute nutcase pointing guns at people's heads, but on the field he's been solid, not spectacular but certainly better then anybody on our team. Him coming to the Giants could possibly mature him being around outstanding professionals like Tuck, Kiwi, Rolle, Eli, Hakeem, etc... He's a young man as well. Plus he's not that slow either, his speed is his weakness but he's not slow, and he's fast for a guy that's 6-3 6-4 250+. He ran a 4.68 40 if that means anything.

Yeah, he's a young, former first round talent. I say why not kick the tires? He's still young and immature, like you say, and I'd add that Coughlin and the Maras would be the perfect coach/owners to get him through that. He ran about the same speed as Te'O at his workout....which is at least sub-4.7....so fairly average speed for a linebacker, basically. Really, I'd rather have a quick linebacker with burst and closing speed....so 40 times don't always translate to performance on the field And I think his biggest upside is his age, as well. Still got several years left and should be hitting his peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
