Ok so we all know Brian cushing is a force on that Texans D, we also know about clay, but whats going on with Rey?? During their last year at USC wasnt he the one with all the hype? I've literally never heard of him since he got into the league, found that weird. Can someone explain whats good with this cat??

They said coming into the league he wouldnt be that good because his instincts were good but he was flat out dumb.

welp that looks about right, he looks to be the most physically gifted out of the three, (when cushing is not shooting up)he used to take guys head off on big hits, word to taylor mays.

Yep. He was the one that needed the most work, but he had the bigger hits and was more visible on that USC D and got all the hype.

Even the USC people will tell you, Rey was very hit or miss and relied a lot on athleticism. Cushing was the total package in college.

Clay was a beast too @ the Elephant, and you could see that he would be a monster @ the 3-4 OLB. I always felt he would have the biggest impact of the three.

Not to thread jack, but I always wished that USC team could have faced Florida that year.

Add Kaluka Maiava, Keith Rivers, and Taylor Mays, and that D was

.

I think Rey was the face, because of his big hits, energy and antics. Word to Erin Andrews.

Cush, was the blue chip prospect that was always NFL bound and Clay is probably the hardest working dude in football today. I can't believe no one recruited him, he was a walk-on that never really played until his senior yr. USC was that deep with LBs.

Speaking of USC linebackers, what happened to Chris Galippo?
Dude, was hyped to be the next NFL-bound LB and now has lost his starting spot to Kennard.  I know he had some injuries but still.

Galippo, started really strong last season, but I think the lack of depth behind him and fatigue set in on him as the season wore on. He slowed down and starting missing assignments and tackles.

Plus, Kennard is going to be really special and is more athletic fit in the Tampa 2 scheme. Gallipo, if he stays should be the SAM LB position, next yr.
