    Does Poz = Andy Katz???

    Seriously guys & gals, I don't know much about Poz so I'm asking the question in all honesty...

    Can you remember about Andy Katzennmoyer (Ohio State, LB) that was suppose to be the next great LBacker? He was draft by New England but never amount to anything... Was he injured ?

    Thanks!

      Katzenmoyer's career was ultimately ended by a neck injury.

      He had neck fusion surgery and was cleared to play again. However, when training camp came around he left camp. Ultimately, he decided the risk of re-injury was too much for a LB, given the number of hits. He just couldn't bring himself to overcome the fear of injury and the possibility he might hurt his neck again and face paralysis. He decided to retire instead.

      Poz seems more mature than Katzenmoyer and has a great love for the game. Katzenmoyer might have been more athletic, but he lacked the passion for the game.

      I like Poz a lot. He is real versatile, a guy who can play multiple LB positions in multiple systems. He has great instincts to play LB, is just a natural football player.

      IMO, Poz will be a solid Pro. Whether he will be better than that will tell with time, but I think he is one of the least risky guys in the draft. He is almost sure to be a solid NFL starting LB. I wouldn't be upset if the Pats take him.

        Of course he's the next Katzenmoyer. He's white.

              There's not. It's Andy Katz, ESPN's college analyst.

                  I would like to see us land Pos. Dream would be to trade down and still get him but who knows...I recall all the hate about Whitner being such a reach but later we learned that he wouldn't have lasted long had we traded out of the spot..

                  How long will Pos be available after 12? oppinons please?

                    could last until 20....i say if we want him then 20 is the best spot to trade back to

                      Using the trade value chart if we traded down to 20 we would get their 2nd & 6th..
                      Risky though

                        I also heard Poz compared to AJ Hawk. A player that always seems to be around the ball. I can't say I seen enough of him to say he will or won't be a great player. He definitely is a great character guy.

                          Katzenmoyer's big problem was that he had the approximate mental accuity of lichen. He had freakish measurables. Posluszny has good measurables, though not freaky by any stretch. By all accounts he's also pretty bright. I would compare Katzenmoyer to Brian Bosworth maybe, not Posluszny.

                          BTW, I'm not a huge proponent of Buffalo targeting Posluszny, but I don't think it would be terrible if it happened.
                          I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                          I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
