Do you think UMMpa MUlumpa or whatever his name is will go into the portal? I cannot imagine he is high on NFL boards. I think he has been disappointing and it might have to do some with awful DT's. But he is one dimensional as an outside speed rusher. No ability or strength to bull rush. The kid Powell who transferred is a much more fundamentally sound player than the Prince
The "experts" think Princely with go to the NFL. I don't normally harp on players, but that guy was one (of a few) on the defense that was only concerned with his individual stats. He was not a team player, taking plays off as soon as the ball went to the other side. Zero motor except for his narrow role. In college, all players need to play as a team. Good riddance.
Why should he have tried to keep any of Mullen's recruits. BN religiously reads Chatter and all we have said is Mullen did not recruit for shyt. When you look at the roster it says BN listened to us and jettisoned all of Mullen's boys, therefore it should have been addition by subtraction.
Mock drafts have him going top 2-3 rounds and his “advanced metrics” (PFF and next gen stats) have him as one of the better pass rushers in the SEC. My eyes don’t see it but
Lot to be said about a steady DL that keeps clogged up where the LB clean up. Unfortunately we have neither rushers or cleanup
Part of the problem is our linebackers suck. Having Chiles and Graham is going to help considerably.
They've definitely had their struggles but to me our defensive hasn't kept em real clean either .
Scooby Williams is good for about a quarter. He just isn’t good enough to last the entire game. I think he’s meant to be a back up player.
Everything he said! Maybe the DB’s are tired of covering receivers for 10 seconds and having to make tackles 10 yards down field. I don’t think it’s fair to evaluate them when you look at our pass rushing numbers and our LB play.
It's a major part of the problem. Those clowns are out of position a ton on both pass and run plays, don't know what gap they are supposed to be in, can't find the ball, clueless in pass coverage either letting the back go or not covering the TE. Is it youth? I don't know but here is what I do know...they ain't all true Fr and no matter the DC, some schemes aren't that much different. You have to know where the ball is..that's middle school shyt. You have to know you have the flats for coverage, High School shyt and you have to get your ass in the hole and stand a bytch up and make the tackle. What you cant do is go flying into the line, get all hemmed up in traffic and then watch the ball carries go whizzing past you and not put a hand on him. There is WAY TOO much of that going on and the LB coaches need to be in their ass. Peterson knows better that much I am sure of.
I’ve not claimed otherwise, but it’s not fair for some people to blame the current staff for players who left when they have no idea what effort went into trying to keep them.
He’s decent as a pass rusher or QB spy on 3rd down . He’s also somewhat of an enigma. He was fantastic against Tennessee and absolutely dreadful against most teams since then. He doesn’t tackle well, especially in space which is of course a prerequisite for excelling at LB today .
