More from my guy Jordan Rodgers. I was looking at tape from Jaye Howard trying to evaluate how he might do this year and this is against Vanderbilt. Jordan just amazes me with the way he is getting swarmed by Jaye Howard, Sharif Floyd, et al and he keeps his cool and makes plays. I love this kid for Russell's back up!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySnwZpLUfRs
Jordan's Vanderbilt page shows he had some comparable stats to Jay Cutler
"Though just a two-year player, Rodgers will finish his career among the team's Top Ten in virtually every passing and total offense category"http://www.vucommodores.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/rodgers_jordan00.html

Back to Jaye Howard, he has the athleticism to be a pretty good DT, but there are questions about his work ethic and drive with rumors of him taking plays off during the game. But there are times when he blows through the offensive line before anyone has a chance to react, and does his damage in the backfield. Consider his senior year, 65 tackles, 10 TFL, 5.5 sacks, 2 PD and 2 fumbles recoverd, 1 for a TD. All while competing with Sharif on the other side who is no slouch himself. Just for reference, Floyd's 2011 season consisted of 46 tackles, 6.5 TFL, 1.5 sacks, 1 PD and 1 kick blocked.
