Southern Cal coach Pete Carroll might not have had room in his Trojan starting lineup for Oscar Lua last year during the linebacker’s senior season, but he has a hunch the Patriots just might have a place on their roster for his former defensive captain.Carroll believes Lua possesses several Patriot-like qualities, especially when it comes to the protypical, 3-4 inside linebacker. More importantly, he believes Lua has traits Bill Belichick favors.
“He’s tough, he’s smart, he can handle a lot of different defenses, a lot of different schemes, and bring a great attitude with it,” Carroll said Friday night, on the eve of the Pats’ minicamp. “He’s real fiery, he’s a big hitter. You can count on him to make big plays on short yardage and goal-line situations. He can throw his body around. He can leap up over the top of a pile. He’s a guy they’re really going to like.”...
