Depth Chart

Just wondering why are you surprised? I'm not surprised in the least bit

Ok, name everyone on the 2 deep at LB with more TFL than him last year and you'll have your answer.

Whatever happened to Lamarcus Allen?

Is he the WR out of New Iberia? Kid was good but we are deep at that position too.

----Before he got hurt there was talk of even taking the R-shirt off!!!

[FeelDaRage]

When did he get hurt, and what was the injury?

Both Chris Hill and Alexander were given looks at safety when they hit campus. They do not have the hips to play safety or the instincts. Both are small hybrid type linebackers that played on the line or in the box most of the time in high school. Its very hard to teach someone the angles and coverage from the safety position in college, that has zero experience playing the position in high school. Both are tweener type linebackers that can run from sideline to sideline, but they are not run stuffers or safeties.

I have a question on our depth chart. Our O Line seems pretty strong and deep with one exception. Our back-up right tackle is Grant Horst who is listed at 6'5" and 260 lbs. That is aweful light for a tackle. He practiced a lot at center and was moved back to tackle. He doesn't appear to have gained any weight from his freshman year. Might be fine for a play or two, but if our starter goes down, can he hold his own at that light weight?

He's faster than most of them except Hill perhaps. My guess is that he's battled injuries. The guy didn't play as a true frosh bc he's a plug.

Maybe he's faster but my point was that these guys are perhaps the overall package. A blend of size, speed and strength that he is not. We have always had problems with 200 pounders playing LB as they tend to get swallowed up in the run game.

Oh I understand. We had an influx of talent there, but I've watched Tyren play and I know he will see the field this year. Just a matter of time.

FWIW I think Willis just likes bigger LBs where others may prefer a little extra speed.

I think the coaches are making their decisions on more extensive data than TFL. We understand you are an Alexander guy but the problem is his size. I'm not saying he can't make plays. He obviously can because he did show he got behind the line last year but it appears that he gets eaten up within the run game. I think part of that is his position. They had him playing ILB last year which will put him taking on guards and centers in the run game and I don't understand putting him there. This year, we have better athletes all over the board at the LB position that are not only as fast but bigger and stronger. I'm sure Tyren will play, especially against pass happy teams but his upside is limited to his size.

I prefer guys who are bigger and just as fast that can be more physical.
