I agree with this. However, I will say, first - we have linebackers redshirting or who are injured that may be really really good - we don't know yet. Two, in our scheme, we ask A LOT of our linebackers. They essentially need to have the speed of a safety and the size of an LB. They essentially need to be able to meet or beat a RB to the corner, and then big enough to knock him back. The gaps we ask our linebackers (and Rover) to hit make the position very challenging IMO.
is this a gap in our scheme given than LB is where we probably have the least talent?
Wait Strnad has no talent? One of the best LBs in the league and plays one of the two LB spots.
Smenda and J. Williams aint bad, Monroe has given some quality snaps. DJ Taylor and especially Ranson have upward trajectories. Think the future at LB pretty bright.
You're looking in the wrong direction, Corner is where we need to be concerned... Jasir Taylor as CB1 next year???
If you’re paying attention, Taylor has improved significantly this year.
Smenda looks like a great Mike in a traditional 4-3. I just have not seen him demonstrate the lateral quickness that our scheme requires from the LB position.
I'll ask again, Jasir Taylor as CB1 next year? He has improved but is not CB1 material.

Soon to have a gravel access road attached that will be known as Manning Way.I heard a rumor that Jeff [name redacted] is going to "Open the Gate" and we are going to unveil [name redacted] Blvd on campus. It is going to be a dead end road with a dumpster at the end.

"Oh, Heavens yes!"That will be the service road to the campus sewer system.
Would have been awesome to get him for Louisville. Oh well.
