Boulware = Keuchly (Boston College)
Oct 13, 2014, 10:47 AM
|
|
I know everyone is in love with Tony Steward, but Ben is an absolute wrecking machine. I don't know if you remember Luke Keuchly from Boston College, but Luke is now starting in the NFL and Ben Boulware looks every bit like him. The effort and all-out-play this young man gives is amazing. He deserves to start this week against Boston College.

Luke is the best middle linebacker in the NFL! Not to mention Ben is maybe 5'11 230, Keuckly is 6'3 250 which is perfect size and can run like a gazelle which comes in handy when chasing running backs out of the backfield and planting them in the ground.
Lets slow down this train and bring in back down, love some Ben but Luke is the actual definition of what a middle linebacker should be. Perhaps Ben will become a great player, love your attitude about him and lets all hope he does become that great.
Go Tigers!!

I didn't know the size and enough info about Keuchly, but Ben reminds me of his ridiculous records in high school and the way that he plays. Thanks for the insight on Luke though, I appreciate it.

I hope so! Keuchly is one heck of a player!

He was the heart and soul of his BC D, as he is with the Panthers. Love the way he plays, and the intensity with which he competes. High praise for Ben. I hope he's 90% the player Keuchly is, we have something special! Steward is out there because the coaches feel he gives us the best chance to win. Boulware certainly doesn't give us a huge drop off in talent at the position. Goodson is probably our 3rd best LB, but Ben isn't far behind as a freshman. Bright future for BB.

I love this kid

I remember watching the Under-Armour game 2 years ago and licking my chops thinking "oh my God look at this kid fly!"
He was all over the field making tackles and it made me even happier to see him do the exact same thing against Louisville.
I have no opinion on whether or not he should start over Steward against BC, but hot #### I'm glad we have this kid for a few more years!

I love the effort he gives, and he is outstanding against the run game. I worry about him covering backs against the pass.

Good white players are always "smart and hard working" while black players are always "athletic freaks"

Let's throw some Zach Thomas in mix. Zach is white and I think around 5'10". Both have high motors and bring their lunch pale to work.
In all seriousness, Boulware does play possessed and his energy is contagious. However, wasn't it only a few weeks ago against UNC that many were questionning his speed and ability to play LB at the D1 level? My how things change.

I am not a great at evaluating great talent but I know a winner when I see one! Even in his interviews he's so excited and yes, it's contagious. He's just a sophomore, which means, "wise fool" but Ben isn't anybody's fool. He's a real winner! .

Boulware is built more like a FB than a LB.. Did he play any offense in HS? The kid would be a force blocking in the backfield.

I would agree with the Keuchly comparison....maybe he needs a year or two and a few All American selections but I see his heart and soul on the field. If any team had 11 of those on each side of the ball, there would be big trouble!

If you don't believe me, ask Braxton Miller. I'm honestly not certain if his problems this year aren't related to that beating he took last Orange Bowl.
