Go Graham - he drives me crazy at times but I do believe the talent is there.

 

[Dooley]

Agree. If he can learn to take better angles, he can realize his full potential.

Is it the angles or is it his motor? Not sure he's got the speed needed. Need to keep him close to the LOS.

I'm going with angles, lots of full speed near misses, play under control, " be quick but don't hurry".

He has the speed, just not the instincts. If he squares up, he delivers vicious hits.

No barking match here with anyone, but HCBD's cementing linebackers in place last year did little to help in the vision of talent potential. Stunting, blitzing etc were not even in the vocabulary. For anyone on our defense to be recognized by a accredited watch list coming off what Bob ran as a practice season is amazing. Again I take these comments as well thought out but wonder how many take the coaching scheme into consideration when making an assessment on a player.
There was a lot of movement at the position in the spring game, we can only hope that is the vision for the games that count. We have a good LB core let's hope Bob let's the dogs out!
If nothing else this is a dime in the pocket for recruits....you can get there from here!

Dooley, Pantz, Supporter, see you at the (The Dog House) Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field soon.

Good for him, but he isn't even the best LB on this team. Heck of an athlete, but the more he plays, the more I understand Florida's plan to flip him to FB.
