What does not being able to snap have to do with not being able to improve and help out at LB?LOL ..yea he cant play LB at Carson Newman ... watched him play .. definately not a Power 5 LB .... heck he cant even snap .. did you see the 1st game ????
Baron is a DE now.I think Jeremy Banks is our best LB whether or not Henry T comes back. Never thought Q was good, so I don't anticipate him being a starter whether or not he comes back.
Just like everyone else we'll be playing a lot of nickel, so I'm guessing it'll be Banks and Baron at LB with Harrison lining up at DE. Banks and Henry T at LB if he returns.
Not expecting much from any of the incoming freshmen on defense this year.
Some folks are forgetting Morven Joseph and Roman Harrison have been taking reps in drills with LBs. That certainly isn’t ideal but it helps the depth there.
Wondering if we do something creative with bulked up nickels and safeties. Tamarion McDonald was already a big nickel and a guy like Tank could throw on a few extra pounds and play in the box at OLB.
McDonald beefed up would make a great OLB in the 4-3.
Morven Joseph has played ILB. Pruitt recruited him to be a 4 spot LB.
Harrison has more physical ability than anybody and he's aggressive, but he's looked lost playing in space. Still plays like he's a nose guard...
Banks really needs to put it all together.
He can snap. Just had a bad outing as a freshman in first SEC competition. I remember when Leaverton started out shakey for us, but then settled in, and became special teams hero in national championship game.What does not being able to snap have to do with not being able to improve and help out at LB?
When and were have you watched him play? High school?
yep .. you have to be able to help to help .. kid does NOT have Power 5 ability to play LB ... snapping .. yes ..he is a good deep snapper that got off to rough start ..im sure he has been working on his craft .. but for him to even be in a LB rotation is a true indication of how much of a dire situation we are in ..period .What does not being able to snap have to do with not being able to improve and help out at LB?

Based on what? You need to back your opinion up with something proving he is not capable of improving into a contributor at LB or just stop making these ironclad declarations.yep .. you have to be able to help to help .. kid does NOT have Power 5 ability to play LB ... snapping .. yes ..he is a good deep snapper that got off to rough start ..im sure he has been working on his craft .. but for him to even be in a LB rotation is a true indication of how much of a dire situation we are in ..period .
The coached suggested he had ability ?? where was that declaration as you say made .. I think he is there just for having a body there sake .. we are down to bare mininum .. I can tell you the coaches are really hoping they are not forced to play this kid alot at ILB this year ..Based on what?

The situation is dire. That doesn't prove he has no ability or has not improved or cannot improve. I'm not hanging my hopes on the kid by any stretch. But if he's going to be written off after coaches suggested he may have some ability... I want a better reason than the negativism of a poster on a fan board.
