Due to all the Scanlon hype I saw on the board, I always took note of him in the NFLE games I saw parts of on TV. I just wasn't that impressed with him. He's a Chief, I hope he's the second coming of Dick Butkus obviously, but I didn't really see anything amazing from him. I don't remember him blowing up running plays behind the line or making fearsome hits or anything.
Mostly he reminded me of Maslowski.. a guy who might be allright with other players around him but is never going to set the world on fire. Remember Maz lead a crappy defense in tackles without ever really being that impressive of a player.
If Scanlon can help us, I'll be the happiest guy in the world, I just don't see it. He seems to be more of an effort guy who plays without the natural instinct or talent you would find in an NFL linebacker. Yeah we've turned projects into great players before a la Waters, Richardson, etc. but I won't hold my breath. Hope I'm wrong, I'd be glad to eat crow if he were to somehow start and put up 100 tackles.
