kenny cain is another guy who was a very good linebacker for the frogs and he wasn't a freak athlete as well, but as with mallett and dawson he diagnosed things quickly, didn't take false steps, and got himself in position to make plays.
the catch in all of that is the ability to recognize and react as quickly and efficiently as possible to make sure they are in the right place.
gary mentioned the other day that on foster's long td run in the first scrimmage dylan jordan was in the wrong gap on his run fit. jordan runs as well as any of the linebackers so yes, making the right reading and being in the right place is critical.
