I try not to because we would have won it all. No way the collapse in Waco happens with him at CB covering those deep balls.
Totally agree about the Baylor game.

I'll give you speed/athleticism ..but the instincts and smarts of that 14 group crush this current group
Travin has been very good. Especially for his size. But compare the tackles for loss, sacks, INT’s, etc. It’s not even close. Dawson had 20 tackles for loss in 2014. That’s more than Howard has in his entire career. Not bashing Howard, just pointing out that we don’t have a playmaker like Dawson at LB right now.It may seem a bit crazy, but it's hard to ask for a LB that can play much better than Howard has the last two seasons. He's obviously not as big of a bruiser as Dawson, which I think makes a lot of us not give him the credit he deserves, but his instincts are pretty damn great as well. He's been a fantastic LB in this defense/in this conference.

And he’s gonna have a better NFL career than Dawson did. And by that I mean, ANY career.
It will be very interesting to see where Travin actually plays in the NFL.
Hard to see him as a linebacker at his size.
I could see him carving out a niche for himself as a special teams/back-up safety type.
