tigeraddikt 1,780 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I thought he had the potential to be a major impact player on D this season. What REALLY happened with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,865 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 The linebackers we had behind Frost and Cass are much better than anticipated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charhair 345 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 It would make you think wtf was up with last years coaching but behind lance and Muschamp you'd think our current starting LB group would have seen the field much more last year t-will has done a great job with these young guys, for sure. Great to see our LBers making plays on the run and pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trout54 55 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 thank you beat-bama1345162851. you opened the door to one of my pet peeves. commentators stating "touchdown saving tackle", and with a twist after one said it several times last night regarding the same play, his partner in the box stated "that tackle kept points off the board" (or something to that affect). Isn't EVERY tackle a TD saving tackle? Think about it. if a tackle isn't made, a touchdown is typically made............ no offense to you beat-bama, but I hate that commentary that is used in almost every game played nowadays................ let's start saying "That pass would have been incomplete if the receiver didn't catch it". I mean come on, thank you captain obvious! sorry. off of my soapbox now. WDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuMarine 1,409 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Watching our LB play this year compared to last year just makes me ask why in the blank were these guys on the bench last year.. Light years ahead .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au_bsci_04 407 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I especially noticed him a few times, bc he looked slow. Our other LBs do a great job of playing side to side and tracking down plays that break the LOS on the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He provides quality depth and we needed it after Tre got ejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randman5000 4,300 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I saw him take a couple of bad angles to #7 not anticipating the speed...but so do a lot of folks. Got a shoestring tackle that cut down a big game later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigeraddikt 1,780 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 Thanks for the responses, guys. I didn't notice his play in last night's game. Nice to have depth at that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,365 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 While he has played a lot the current LB's had the advantage of playing in an almost identical scheme. He had a still has a learning curve. He will be supplying backup and will get better. I also think our current starting LB's are faster and fit the system a little better. Like many others already stated they should have been given more PT last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a shoestring tackle that cut down a big game later. Right. Not knowing who 17 was at the time but my thought was, 'well, Fournette blew right by that linebacker.' But I did see the same 17 make a nice tackle on Fournette later in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredst 9,072 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 With Davis and the two Williams we have some guys balling at the LB position. TJ is going to have to be content to get just a few rotation snaps, barring an injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,849 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 He is def a big 10 linebacker. No shot at him at all. Just is not built for the speed of the SEC. I hate it for the kid because hes a senior but when he got in vs LSU I want to say it was I saw why he had been behind all the other guys in the LB rotation. Can not cover ground well.

austudnt23 1,432 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Twill happened. Our lb coaching this year is light years ahead of Lance Thompson and Co last year. Remember Steele is very good with lbs also. The guys that are playing in front of Neal are more physically gifted and better players that have been coached up.

Charhair 345 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I don't think anyone really saw Deshaun Davis coming on this strong. All of our LBers have seemed to improve a lot under the new coaching staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
