Title: Let's talk Linebackers: If Spaight signs elsewhere how mumped are we?
Post by: Pete on December 19, 2012, 10:03:55 AM

So far, we have:
Dakorey Johnson (juco)
Nick Ramirez (hs)
Isaiah Williams (hs)


That would leave us pretty young.  Who else are we after?

Tre needs to not only be back at 100% but to make huge improvements against the pass to be on the field for more than 25% of the snaps.

Yeah, as adorable as Tre is, it is pretty clear that our coaches haven't been comfortable with him on the field against the pass.  Possibly Truman?  We've seen very little of him outside of special teams, but when he has played he has looked pretty decent.

Tre Walker

Mike Moore

Will Davis
David Smith
Nick Ramirez


so yeah, not great.

Walker, Truman, Slaughter have experience. Hopefully someone like Moore or Davis gets into the mix. Then the recruits coming in.

decent players with some experience. so it's not the worst there's ever been, but when you're replacing almost an entire defense, there's not much reason to be super confident. but that's how i felt about the d-line coming into this year.

Yeah I want to say he's like a sixth year senior. At the awards ceremony, they were showing some pretty cool footage of him talking to the team before a game. He seems like one of the emotional leaders of the team. My guess is that it'll be Tre, Slaughter, and maybe Mike Moore or Truman for the third.

Yeah, LB is a concern. But so is CB and defensive line. We lost a lot, we need a lot of new guys to step in and be at least decent.

If this year is any indication, then about 10% of the time, and almost never against several of the teams on our schedule.
Title: Re: Let's talk Linebackers: If Spaight signs elsewhere how mumped are we?
Post by: CNS on December 19, 2012, 10:33:29 AM
That probably has as much to do with the quality of the personnel on the field than anything, right?  I mean, I am no Johnny's manager, but it seems that if you have an Arthur and can rely on him to do what Arthur does, you can allocate others elsewhere.  Right?

I can't tell you the best night to run the $.25 wing deal either, but I agree that Arthur made about any play-call a decent one.

Post by: 'taterblast on December 19, 2012, 10:43:37 AM
we run a lot of nickel (2 lb's), but you have to have at least 4 guys that you can count on constistently. especially with losing arthur.

The MLB position was going to be a huge downgrade next year regardless.  We're now arguing on the degree.

This defense is going to struggle next year with so many new players.  We're better off starting Moore or Ramirez and getting them ready for 2014.

Losing Arthur is huge. Several times every game last year I would see someone zip through the line at super human speed and make a tackle and I would think "man who was that?" and almost every time it was Arthur.

Truman, Walker and Slaughter can make plays if the d-line can do it's job.  They won't be good enough to overcome O-lineman constantly getting to the second level.

between the tackles?  they could do an average to slightly below average job. outside of the tackles though, jfc, they can't compete at all.

serious question - i'd love to blame this on coffeyville's RB's coach, dickie rolls.

but then i'm guessing this came down to cville's defensive coordinator trying to get back to arkansas (where he's from). the dude's name is PAIGE anders.  weird name for a man, my guess is he is creating a funnel to arkansas and we see his ass take some bs grad job there in a year or two after funneling arkansas a bunch of studs.

I felt really good about having 2 incoming freshmen and 2 incoming JUCOs. With only 1 incoming JUCO now, the potential impact is lessened. Of course, if Ramirez is good enough to come in and play significant minutes right away, it's a moot point.

There aren't going to be a lot of JUCOs at this point that will probably be a lot better than Ramirez now.

I think what they're saying is that they'd rather he come in and have a full spring/summer to develop and play as a true fresh in 2014 with the potential to redshirt down the line if he gets injured.
