BOL Round Table

Not sure if I agree with the sentimate that allen will be a mike, watching his film he reminds me more of a CJ type guy. With his speed he would make a great will IMO he is fast enough to keep up with the slot guys and big enough to cover the TE's. This is just pure speculation but I see him playing "will" and more of a coverage LB rather than the "mike" and playing up on the line.

I certainly agree with the OP. But let's not forget WHERE they both ended up and the staff that developed them. TR had much better S&C training under Coach Cochran than BB. He also had CNS coaching him up, as well. Let's not forget Ingram pushing him along. There is no doubt he developed much better as a player than BB, and I think it was more than just a mindset. It started when he made his decision to come to the Capstone and the rest is history.

Concerning the OP's original thought, time will certainly tell. As for me, I would put my money on Allen over Foster because of the coaching he will receive and THE PROCESS he will be involved in.

RTR!
