LBs always look bad when the DL is bad. Room needs bolstered, but I'm guessing a lot of those dudes look better if the DL upgrades noticeably & they can fill a gap instead of working around a guy being pushed back into them.

This is such a hard concept for people who don’t understand defense to grasp, but spot on.

Now I will say even when our front did what it was supposed to, we didn’t always make the right run fit or…..tackle….so that’s a problem, but it’s kind of hard to do either when you’re getting blasted five yards past the LOS by a 300lb guard.
 
Just shut up lol

Of the coaches he had they liked Dvoracek the best by far. Another current LB also really likes him though they haven't had any other coach.

Shavers has been hit or miss. Had a lot of injury issues this year. Wright was pretty good. Most people think Merrit is going to be very good.

I don't think Dvoracek is an issue.

Merrit is going to be good. I also like Rodgers. Still not sure on Ochoa or McGahee, but we’ll see.

Ochoa is a 4-5 stringer once maxed out. Over room has depth and B1G starter issues heading into year four. Dov has gotten beat for every regional LBer they’ve been after every year. Shavers & McGahee where both Simpson recruits. Merritt Rhule has to pull. He’s done nothing to justify keeping him in his role. He should be moved back to assistant to a legit LB coach who can execute in coaching and recruiting now until he’s ready.

I haven’t seen enough of him to say. Ochoa I mean. As far as Dusty goes, I haven’t seen anything that will make me scream for his retention.
