Singleton Big 12 payer of the week

Actually, it was more like some of the R's getting replaced with W's in a few words.

They were just painful to listen to. I wanted to hear what they had to say but instead ended up turning off the radio.

Good for Singleton! If they would have watched the game however, there is no way he wins this award. Both picks had nothing to do with him, except blind luck. The 2nd pick was made after he got beat bad to the inside. The WR dropped the ball and it went right into his hands as he was trailing the WR. I don't know why Singleton has such a hard time guarding the slant. Nelson beat him bad on his TD, just like the WR for UNI did on his TD. He was 4 yds away from both on a 5 yd slant

Singleton played a great game in many regards, and while you can make the point that his interceptions were due to luck, so are many interceptions at every level of football. It takes skill to convert the opportunities you get as a DB. The fact that he caught them and took one of them back for a TD is nothing to diminish.

I think Tuba might have the best chance at an NFL career of all the guys.

Im afraid Blythe is too slow and Bowen too small and poor in pass coverage for the NFL (although I think Bowen will have a solid NFL career partially due to his ability to play special teams)

I can see this... Big run stopping tackles are big bonus in the NFL and alot of the good ones are getting up there in age... I can definately see someone giving him a shot... I honestly think of all the seniors we lose this year, Tuba might hurt the most. He has been a very underrated part of this defense this year!

I agree whole heartedly about Tuba. I stated that he was the real heart of this defense some weeks ago and heard nothing but chirping crickets. As for the NFL, I think he is the most legitimate senior prospect on the team.

Good for him. It's funny that Jordy Nelson had 200 and some odd yards receiving and our guy still got this honor.

most of those were over the middle when the LB should have been covering. Watched it all day. Not too many along the sidelines.

You are correct, hard to dispute any of that.

At least he was in the right place at the right time on those two picks. And even though both were tip-drill interceptions, we have had a defensive score in each of the past 2 weeks. I'll take it.

Excellent point about both players.

Since his days at ISU, Ellis is now one of the best CB's in the league. He's still improving.
