One of those two is correct.Spikes or Jevon kearse
Did you ever actually watch Kearse? .How old are you? Kearse was an absolute garbage linebacker and useful.in only one thing, blitzing. But he was too damn small even in nfl after they "beefed" him up.and koved him to DE to stop the run.
he's basically exactly what we ****ing have one trick ponies that can do nothing but blitz.
Spikes would probably be my answer because not only was the best middle linebacker we've ever had by a gigantic margin, but he was an animal. and he arrived on campus with it.
He was the tebow of the defense. People talked about how ferocious he was in practice and how he would attack anyone who wasn't practicing hard enough on either side.
there's some other really nice examples that I think any of the defensive tackles or interior linebackers would be great choices.
The thing about a guy like Reggie Nelson is that dumbfuchs Grantham would likely move him to Burney's "linebacker" spot or at least misusing my having the linebackers drop into the box every play to try to make up for his dwagshytastic recruiting. I just don't feel like Reggie Nelson would change this defense much.
Of course he'd probably put Brandon Spikes (255-262ish) at defensive tackle.
Truthfully there's no overcoming the Choker's ineptitude.
