Has anyone watched or is up to date on the state of the team so far? I was wondering if there are valid expectations that the LB group will be better this year?
Practices are closed and so are the mouths of the coaches about specific results we can expect. As far as LB’s go, Sr. Germaine Pratt (6-3, 245 lbs) will start at one LB He’a the dude who picked off Lamar Jackson and then flattened Jackson as he crossed the GL for a pick 6. There are several likely players to fill the other spot. I like Brock Miller (6-3, 231) but he’s coming back after surgery so we shall see if he is ready. There are several more who red-shirted who could contribute.
IMO the biggest asset we will have is Ted Roof coaching the Safeties. I Don’t know for sure but I’m speculating that Roof will coordinate the DB’s and Nickel back while Hux will coordinate the LB’s and DL.
The big question mark IMO will be Coach Kevin Patrick and is he going to do the same good job with the DL now that those guys have graduated. Patrick was AA DE at the U and All-Pro in the NFL. I hope that translates into great coach.
Maybe somebody will have a little more than this.
