Not a USC fan but I did thoroughly enjoy these teams. Both the offense and defense was loaded with pro talent. Granted once they got to the pros none of them were that exceptional but in college if your team had to face them you knew there was a high loss potential. Cushing, Mualuga (sp?) and Rivers at LB.
It used to be Penn State was Linebacker U. During that period of the 2000s, USC was definitely Linebacker U. Before Cushing there was Matt Grootegoed, Lofa Tatupu, Dallas Sartz, then came Keith Rivers, Cushing, Rey Maualuga, Clay Matthews Jr. and Kaluka Maiava, arguably USCs finest years in the linebacking corp and maybe the nation's. I went to USC when Clay Matthews's dad (same name) was linebacking national championship teams. Ironically, the linebacker coach was Ken Norton Jr., who played his college years at UCLA. It's never been better.
He is my idol! As a high school MLB about to play college him and Posluszny are the LB's that are monsters! Love me some contact! And the people that say he was on roids please shut up, so ok he gained a ton of mass between frosh and soph season but so do a lot of people and it's not like his talent hasn't been there!
When you see a guy like Cushing who was as strong as all hell and then you realize that a guy like Larry Allen could just toss him around like he was a 7 year old. Really puts things into perspective with the level of athletes you're dealing with here.
Great video, this is what a football highlight video should look like. Good music, DeFranco training and how it pays off on the field.. I'm a Jets fan, but gotta love Cush.
I couldn't agree more. He is an athlete first. He ran a 4.5 in highschool and could dunk before steroids. All the juice did was allow him to hit harder and recover faster. I love steroids so much
To this day he is the fucking man, who else was doing this?!?! Most insanely talented group of linebackers and Clay was just making it into the fold. That team deserved a shot at a Title, and they would have OWNED IT.
im not sure if conor is more athletic but im gonna have to agree that brian cushing has a huge problem of being too stiff. im not sure how he will compete with other nfl players on his pass drops when he is not blitzing but for the run game i think he will do fine
I personally never used them. I don't think there is anything wrong with steroids. TheNFL would look like a division 3 game without them. a platerslongevity would be cut in half. The "testing" is only a facade.
@flaccojoe Laurinatis went to 2nd mainly because he had trouble getting off blocks. You can see that on the film. But i'm sure his combine numbers didn't help him either.
I watch this video since around 2011 before workouts to get me into the zone. I have this song on my playlist for hard workouts. @iamthisguy52 thanks for creating this masterpiece, I don't think you get credit where it's due, legend!
exactly ppl dont understand tht u can go to a junior college for one offseason and gain 20lbs of muscle, and usc has basically the best strength coach the countries got its no suprise cush went from 214 to about 235/240
hey sorry about the laurinaitis video. i made it but youtube muted it for copy righting purposes. so if you have any songs or playing you want me to make a video with let me know
All U guys gotta do is put on the SC vs Texas (Vince Young) RoseBowl game on! Cush was a Legit Sophomore LB at 220lbs. Now, fast forward to his JR. Year and he’s a ripped 250lb Savage who’s more shredded than Taylor Mays. We all know everyone does Roids at one time or another to get better or get ahead! This cat was a workout warrior who was also addicted to THE JUICE, and I don’t mean OJ. Just put on the tape of Texans games and U can see for yourself. He’s Lattimer(The Program). Pro Bowl caliber guy on the Roids and just an average LB without🤔
he had a GREAT college football career and that is becuz hes a football player too much is made of 'his hips are tight' or 'he cant cover'... uh why was he so great in college then? the criticism doesnt make sense to me.. ill tell u 1 thing that will undoubtedly translate to the NFL and that is his passion, his drive, his blue collar work ethic and his intensity and i garauntee hes going to be great for my Texans,
honestly if u new anything about the sport u would no that they get tested every 3 weeks and can't even come close to getting away with taking steroids. and a guy like him gets tested even more often so it's pretty obvious that he is not on steroids.
oh yeah i have no doubt that he will be a great texan and that he was an amazing college football player. im just saying he wasnt the best at pass drops which made him look very stiff. hes still one hell of a athlete. look at 0:33
@jackhandy00 mass = power = speed. generally if someone weighs 250, and can squat 520ish, how easy do you think it is for them to move thier 250 frame. strong legs = speed. not skinny muscless dude = speed.
ok kids benching 315 when they get into college? first off in one year of college strength and conditioning ur maxes can go up about 50-60 lbs. Usc has the best strength and conditioning program in all the NCAA. cush was 6'4 214 as a senior in HS, he ran a 4.5. all he haad to do is get stronger and bigger and he kept his speed,explosion etc. and 3 years of hard lifting at the top strength program in the ncaa, should actually get u stronger.
cush didnt use roids, they test u every week even in the off season, besides the things they do to u in college is nuts look at clay matthews he came in at 190 and is just as big. javih best gained about 20 pounds of muscle this offseason, cush was 220 freshman season he is 250 now its not tht big of a deal he didnt juice
well there is a thing called hard work i don't know if you have heard of it or not. just because someone is strong and good doesn't mean he is on roids
what a beast but most of his takles are mostly him just wrestling everyone down cuz he was fucking huge in college but he isnt bigger than everyone now in pros
yes thank u tell neilius27 tht he seems to think he knows everything. usc has the best strength program in the ncaa, tht alone will make u a beast. and he has hook ups with defrancos gym also.
cushing says; 'So before you go around accusing me of being a steroid abuser, consider a more serious alternative: I just want to be a mother, and I'm not going to stand here and let you jackals in the media accuse me and my 23" arms of cheating for personal gain. My fertility doctor said that stress is not good for conception, and I will NOT let you stress me out!'
yeah now that i took a good look at the picture id say he definitely took something maybe not as serious as roids which would make his statement about no taking roids true but he did take something.
i just saw the pictures. have u seen the one that actually proves that he stopped? he is fat. and he worked back into shape by himself not with steroids. i think he did take them before but he's not taking them now and got into the shape he is in now by himself.
hes not on juice he went through the best prgram in the country for four years if anybody went there theyd come out prety fuckin huge too after 4 years
Im sure Cushing juiced at one time or another looking at that before/after pick and I'm sure theres a number of guys in the NFL roiding. It's merely enforced with a slap on the wrist if caught and why wouldn't you if its a sport based on being the biggest, strongest, fastest. I'm sure a huge number of players use. There are ways around the tests and it's not like these guys are tested daily. My roomates played football with a few D1 players who they knew were using, so whats to believe no one is
@wkm1126 The Trojans have been a football powerhouse throughout NCAA history and won 11 national championships. In total, 472 Trojans have been taken in the NFL Draft, more than any other university. USC is second in Heisman winners at 7. USC has the most players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Now tell me how Alabama has a better history than that..
It combines three awesome things Good football Defrancos Gym Animal I have Become Also he didnt have steroids in his system he had hCG. Now in days if someones stronger then them they have to go all its because of steroids. Grow up seriously.
im a ravens fan so i knoe what i great defense looks like, and akoye,mario, demeco, and now cush u guys should kill on d. ur db's aint bad either. plus u guys r under the radar, so less pressure is on u, and on offense u guys andre johnson, and steve slaton only going get better LOOK OUT AFC SOUTH TEXANS R REAL
I assume Most NFL players are on roids. N..ot F..or L..ong You are kidding yourself to think these guys are not taking every advantage they can think of. there are lots of players in the 6'3" 250lb neighbor hood who run a 4.5 -4.6 40yard that is not natural.
is not better thn cushing. or clay matthews or maualug. im an oregon fan syaing this. theres a reason laurinatis went to the second round. he 40 was slow, his bench was worse then any of the trojans, and the trojan LBs have better talent. the only reason why maualuga went to the second round is beacuse the teams didnt want to deal with some off field issues, and his combine numders werent as great with the pulled hamstring he had
He brings an intensity to the game that no one can describe. Busts his butt every play.
And his head :)
tell them in person ;)
very good football player for a white guy, i was about 2x better thou plus played baseball also
Michael Edwards such a load of bullshit
Its called ROID RAGE bro
you have to admit its not just the juice though. am i right? there are huge amounts of hard work and training to get into the NFL
He was on roids since hs
Yea he started in high school dude was literally never off them lmao
He tackled players like a lion pounding on its prey....Beautiful.
Not a USC fan but I did thoroughly enjoy these teams. Both the offense and defense was loaded with pro talent. Granted once they got to the pros none of them were that exceptional but in college if your team had to face them you knew there was a high loss potential. Cushing, Mualuga (sp?) and Rivers at LB.
Brian Hammer Clay Mat was there too
Clay Matthew a my guy and everson griffin

Those names played well at the next level. You mean they never became half of fame talent. Reminds me of the SEC talent coming into the NFL.
He is my idol! As a high school MLB about to play college him and Posluszny are the LB's that are monsters! Love me some contact! And the people that say he was on roids please shut up, so ok he gained a ton of mass between frosh and soph season but so do a lot of people and it's not like his talent hasn't been there!
Cush has been training with Joe Defranco for the last 7 years. You don't need gear to be a beast when you train with that mob. Go Joe and Cush!
When you see a guy like Cushing who was as strong as all hell and then you realize that a guy like Larry Allen could just toss him around like he was a 7 year old. Really puts things into perspective with the level of athletes you're dealing with here.
Great video, this is what a football highlight video should look like. Good music, DeFranco training and how it pays off on the field.. I'm a Jets fan, but gotta love Cush.

After that chop blocks from Jamal Charles and the jets it just changed his game forever I loved him here in Houston
Jamal Charles didn’t chop him it was a lineman Hook em 🤘🏾
To this day he is the fucking man, who else was doing this?!?! Most insanely talented group of linebackers and Clay was just making it into the fold. That team deserved a shot at a Title, and they would have OWNED IT.
im not sure if conor is more athletic but im gonna have to agree that brian cushing has a huge problem of being too stiff. im not sure how he will compete with other nfl players on his pass drops when he is not blitzing but for the run game i think he will do fine
This got me fucking pumped!
I personally never used them. I don't think there is anything wrong with steroids. TheNFL would look like a division 3 game without them. a platerslongevity would be cut in half. The "testing" is only a facade.
@flaccojoe Laurinatis went to 2nd mainly because he had trouble getting off blocks. You can see that on the film. But i'm sure his combine numbers didn't help him either.
Awesome video, a Clay Matthews one like this would awesome too. I don't know if there is much workout video of him out there though.
I watch this video since around 2011 before workouts to get me into the zone. I have this song on my playlist for hard workouts. @iamthisguy52 thanks for creating this masterpiece, I don't think you get credit where it's due, legend!
yeah i just saw it on the nfl network hes right now up there for rookie of the year or something with 12 tackles in 2 games
exactly ppl dont understand tht u can go to a junior college for one offseason and gain 20lbs of muscle, and usc has basically the best strength coach the countries got its no suprise cush went from 214 to about 235/240
wow that screen read at 3:10 was beautiful
Yes
I've never seen Brian with long hair
hey sorry about the laurinaitis video. i made it but youtube muted it for copy righting purposes. so if you have any songs or playing you want me to make a video with let me know
thats a ton man means lot to hear feedback i have a joe flacco video also but its not as good. im going to try and make a mcguffie video sometime soon
yeah but remember they will be playing other teams that have also improved. i hope they do well for his sake but idk for sure.

song: animal i have become
artist: three days grace

ill tell u 1 thing that will undoubtedly translate to the NFL and that is his passion, his drive, his blue collar work ethic and his intensity and i garauntee hes going to be great for my Texans,
i wish he was my personal trainer..dudes a freak of nature
thanks... my friend said something about them getting tim tebow next year....
saturday is the day! where will brian cushing go???
honestly if u new anything about the sport u would no that they get tested every 3 weeks and can't even come close to getting away with taking steroids. and a guy like him gets tested even more often so it's pretty obvious that he is not on steroids.
!!!CUSH!!!
aight, thanks. laurinaitis is one of my favorite players. it would be sick if you made a vid about him haha.
6 days left until he is drafted. im guessing he goes 1st round 8th or 12th pick
oh yeah i have no doubt that he will be a great texan and that he was an amazing college football player. im just saying he wasnt the best at pass drops which made him look very stiff. hes still one hell of a athlete. look at 0:33
@jackhandy00 mass = power = speed. generally if someone weighs 250, and can squat 520ish, how easy do you think it is for them to move thier 250 frame. strong legs = speed. not skinny muscless dude = speed.
yeah he was the 15th pick over all.
ok kids benching 315 when they get into college? first off in one year of college strength and conditioning ur maxes can go up about 50-60 lbs. Usc has the best strength and conditioning program in all the NCAA. cush was 6'4 214 as a senior in HS, he ran a 4.5. all he haad to do is get stronger and bigger and he kept his speed,explosion etc.
and 3 years of hard lifting at the top strength program in the ncaa, should actually get u stronger.
cush didnt use roids, they test u every week even in the off season, besides the things they do to u in college is nuts look at clay matthews he came in at 190 and is just as big. javih best gained about 20 pounds of muscle this offseason, cush was 220 freshman season he is 250 now its not tht big of a deal he didnt juice
yeah really. even really popular ones are gone im hoping this doesnt go
well there is a thing called hard work i don't know if you have heard of it or not. just because someone is strong and good doesn't mean he is on roids
tomorrow is the big day! i guessing chargers, saints, or falcons
what a beast but most of his takles are mostly him just wrestling everyone down cuz he was fucking huge in college but he isnt bigger than everyone now in pros
animal i have become by three days grace
what should my next video be? im leaning toward devin hester or sam mcguffie? any thoughts
insane
yes thank u tell neilius27 tht he seems to think he knows everything.
usc has the best strength program in the ncaa, tht alone will make u a beast. and he has hook ups with defrancos gym also.
thanks!
thanks

lol cushing looks like nd's jeff samargia
twin at 2:33.-from an irish fan.
is there anyway i can get this onto the texan's website or a brian cushing website?
this guy is a fucking Boss
this guy is going to the leauge....millionaire..whatever it takes
i bet if he got drafted to the cowboys you would have no problem with it.
yeah now that i took a good look at the picture id say he definitely took something maybe not as serious as roids which would make his statement about no taking roids true but he did take something.
i just saw the pictures. have u seen the one that actually proves that he stopped? he is fat. and he worked back into shape by himself not with steroids. i think he did take them before but he's not taking them now and got into the shape he is in now by himself.
hes not on juice he went through the best prgram in the country for four years if anybody went there theyd come out prety fuckin huge too after 4 years
so do u guys think he got shafted by getting drafted by the texans or is it a good thing?
Im sure Cushing juiced at one time or another looking at that before/after pick and I'm sure theres a number of guys in the NFL roiding. It's merely enforced with a slap on the wrist if caught and why wouldn't you if its a sport based on being the biggest, strongest, fastest. I'm sure a huge number of players use. There are ways around the tests and it's not like these guys are tested daily. My roomates played football with a few D1 players who they knew were using, so whats to believe no one is
yeah they do need the help but they didnt do too bad at the beginning
I was here
does anyone know how i can get permission to play certain songs in movies cause they keep getting muted.
yeah i could see that. that would basically make the saints sick as hell
i mean if u want to use a known track what do u do?
Brain cushing,clay Matthews ,ray mouluga
Alright the video is done and is uploading right now
bro totally agree. It might be more. My buddy played football for a d1 program and he said 75% of the team is on the sauce.
i made a devin hester one but they took the music off cause of copy righted laws. its gay. let me check him out ill thing about it
who do u think will get him?
you have to have the talent for sure.
how do u think hes gonna do with the texans
is he strong weak or mid LB?
and from 2:00-2:07 he resembles Garrett Hedlund!
What's the name of the song
@wkm1126
The Trojans have been a football powerhouse throughout NCAA history and won 11 national championships. In total, 472 Trojans have been taken in the NFL Draft, more than any other university. USC is second in Heisman winners at 7. USC has the most players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Now tell me how Alabama has a better history than that..

It combines three awesome things
Good football
Defrancos Gym
Animal I have Become
Also he didnt have steroids in his system he had hCG. Now in days if someones stronger then them they have to go all its because of steroids. Grow up seriously.
@xDukexFan24x finally someone understands
im a ravens fan so i knoe what i great defense looks like, and akoye,mario, demeco, and now cush u guys should kill on d. ur db's aint bad either. plus u guys r under the radar, so less pressure is on u, and on offense u guys andre johnson, and steve slaton only going get better LOOK OUT AFC SOUTH TEXANS R REAL

HAHA! Nice!
why the F*** did he cut his hair?
Greatness through steroids!
@IMAGETCHANOMNOMNOM exactly...thanks steroids for making these physical freaks.
Steroid's a helluva a drug
is not better thn cushing. or clay matthews or maualug. im an oregon fan syaing this.
theres a reason laurinatis went to the second round. he 40 was slow, his bench was worse then any of the trojans, and the trojan LBs have better talent. the only reason why maualuga went to the second round is beacuse the teams didnt want to deal with some off field issues, and his combine numders werent as great with the pulled hamstring he had
"you gotta train everyday ( take steroids) theres no other option"
