It really cracks me up that they made that 53 seconds of that graphic. Well done.

The dude literally has every tool except for the proper metabolism apparently. Fast, can cover and likes to hit, but my two year old would weigh him down on a seesaw.

I wonder if he would have any success at corner or in the slot.

Fidone…….bad injury this morning, apparently.

Curious gio just chimed in that it was a shot to the thigh and shouldn’t be anything major. I’m assuming he’s dead.

Just saw that. Hope to hell he’s right. Was thinking knee at first……😳

Now CG said he’s trying to get confirmation on what really happened. I’m going to assume the worst. And that comes from a glass half-full old fucker……😎

[CornHub]

sFrost is saying it's his ACL.

He's one of the most athletic players on the team. Faster than Domman.

His game speed didn’t show on the field. He might be faster in a race, but there is no way he is in the ball park with JoJo with football speed.

That comes with learning the position. He's either going to learn and get faster, or they'll figure something else out.

And some guys don’t have it at this level. He had plenty of experience before transferring up. I just don’t see it. Maybe he will prove me wrong. Time will tell.

He did have plenty of experience, in that previous team's scheme. He was an excellent linebacker at the FCS level. We can hope he was still just learning the scheme last year. By no means am I saying he's a sure thing, but they had to try someone to replace JoJo. They still have fall camp to find somebody else if Kris isn't working out.

Full time nickel, nah.

We are basically just doing a regular 4-3 at this point.

DE: Tanner
DT: Rogers
DT: Robinson
DE: Nelson

LB: Henrich
LB: Reimer
LB: Kvoleric

Regular 4-3 usually includes one d end that's as big as the d tackles though, does it not?

Not typically. Usually just larger and more for run stopping support as opposed to rush end which is typically lighter. But it’s not a all size fits all type thing. Julius peppers was about 290 playing rush side for the panthers.
Just way more metrics to look at.

I think the trend in the past decade has been smaller, faster DEs to counter the spread.

Seems like the defense this year might need to use guys more based on who they're playing vs the "best 11" approach they went with last year, but I'm by no means and expert
