Around SBN: Heating Up: Miami Evens Series; LeBron, Wade Take Charge

It’s safe to say Saban and Belichick look for similar characteristics in football players. So I think the guys that Saban really likes could also play for his buddy. With that in mind, I’ll give you two: Terrence Cody and Javier Arenas. The 6-foot-5, 365-pound Cody is an athletic nose tackle, a perfect 3-4 guy who can take up two or three blockers and also push the pocket in pass rush. He has some issues with his weight (like some big dudes), but he is a really good guy who doesn’t mind working. Plus, he can dunk, and that’s cool. Belichick would like him because he’s got crazy talent, and fans would like him because he’s just a character. A big kid who’ll sign anything fans give him, including their faces and arms, and he still can’t believe he’s a star. Arenas is a tough-as-nails corner who was nearly unrecruited. Now, he’s one of the SEC’s best punt returner and a lock-down corner. Belichick and fans would like him for the same reason: He plays with incredible passion. They even have to dial him down in practice because he’s so intense. The kind of guy who would be just as good in a street fight as he is on the field, but a good leader, too.

Ok..

…that’s from an interview Pats Pulpit did weeks ago, yet it looks like they pulled the post wholesale without actually linking back to him. Time to get the lawyas involved.
