Is Monangai off to the NFL after this year?
- Thread starter RUTBAY1
- Start date
When the season started, I considered him a backup to Sam Brown and Aaron Young. Now, you guys have me worried about him leaving for the NFL.
Amazing how much your stock can change after 9 games.

Thought it should have been targeting regardless. Of course B1G Refs would never go against OSU in that situation and make the correct call.
Blake Corum had a knee injury last year didn’t he? I think it happened in the Illinois game. He was out for the rest of the season. Makes sense for him to come back because of the injury.
By definition- the defender doesn’t really need to be targeting him or have to lead with the crown. And no intent is needed. But if tge defenders helmet or shoulder pads connect with a defenseless player in the head or neck area, it should be called.
In tgis case- the defender had no intent and may have been trying to get out of the way but KM was 100% the definition of tge defenseless player they are trying to protect.
The NCAA rules also include using arms, hands and shoulders if used with "extra spice" in head/neck area.
Targeting and Making Forcible Contact to Head or Neck Area of a Defenseless Player
ARTICLE 4. No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting. When in question, it is a foul. ...
Note 1: "Targeting" means that a player takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball.

looking at that another example of terrible blocking by the wide receivers. Add that play to the KM fumbleruski(sp) missed block and there are two TDs.They don't all have to be passes across the middle
Yesterday the RZ pass to Dremel looked very lame.
First off the Ohio defense read it right away (70s offense announcers called it)
Secondly the 4 defenders waiting on the ball planted Dremel like lint.
I'd much rather see a gut like Mongo get the 2 yd pass because he routinely blows through tackle gangs
He has two catches.
RBs have 10 total catches in 9 games.
If he needs to prove pass catching ability, not sure returning will help.
Well he does… there are any number of backs who can run, with power, more speed and can also block . Maybe not like Kyle but adequate .Pass catching I would like to see from KM.
KM's pass blocking ability will far outweigh his pass catching ability when it comes to the NFL.
not to derail main topic but i kept thinking, knowing lots of high/overthrows have been happening that maybe coaches should have run that play to a TE or Sam Brown (if doing a RB) for size purposes.
The freshman I was thinking about was Jason Benjamin. He made a nice catch and scored a TD earlier this year.
Pacheco’s success would help how the NFL views KM.
I’m sure KM will get feedback on his draft outlook. If he’s a day 2 pick then he should certainly go pro.

KM’s running style is just like Jaylen Warren (RB Steelers). See for yourself. This is from his last game on Thursday night.

It could.
Its hard to watch an NFL game with such bad blocking all over.
Its like a bloodsport where you wait for guys to get carted off the field.
Not even Saquon was a good pass blocker and a KM would be nice as a FB in a RB body
A lot of KM's attraction will depend on how a combine goes
Pacheco wouldn't have been drafted without the sub 4.4 shocker
Even Schiano had him figured as a special teams contributor and not as a starter.
Speaking of FBs interesting article about Burton being KC's last FB.
Reid says TEs can do the same work
"Michael Burton was Reid’s final fullback, appearing in 35 games over the last two seasons, rushing for 33 yards and a touchdown during that time.
But all great stories must come to an end. It looks like Reid's romance with the position has finally reached its conclusion. Speaking of the position on Wednesday, Kansas City’s head coach appears to have already found comfort in the arms of another.
“Yeah, so the tight ends can work into that spot,” Reid explained to reporters."
I don't think so if he is paid. And he can never get the joy of playing with his guys again at the banks, if he skips it.
This is probably a silly question, but why don't we throw to our running backs more?
Looking at that Dremel RZ pass with the 4 OSU defenders...if we ran it with KM in the same position as Dremel...I think KM gets past those defenders and in for the score
