Askew should start at mlb

Watching his tapes he is very fast and has good size. He loves to hit and has great instincts. IMO he will start or atleast play.

I think Askew will be 2nd string WLB behind Rico. His specialty is blitzing and WLB is the LB that blitzes the most in Monte's scheme. I don't see Askew being polished enough as a freshman to start at MLB, as it requires solid coverage skills, which he is not known for.

Let's get him on campus in June and let him learn the defensive schemes. I know he's talented, but he has to get coached up.

After watching the spring game I think it may be a possibility. We don't have that much there as of right now, if he comes in and can learn the system, I say he atleast gets some playing time. IMO Reveiz is not even close to being the answer, Lathers is a much better option due to him being a better athlete. I think Askew has a pretty good shot at it, just as good or better then any other freshman middle linebacker coming into college. I am pulling for him

Why wouldn't you just pull for whoever deserves to start?

I remember a pretty good linebacker that started as a freshman for Florida named Channing Crowder...I dont recal them getting toasted much that season.

Just because it has happened in the past doesn't mean its going to be like that with every freshman that starts. I'm pulling for whoever the best player is to show himself. Also it might be harder for a freshman to run the Full Monte's defense then in another. MLB is also a hard spot for a freshman to jump into because they are in charge of making the calls and getting everyone else in the right place. I'd like to see the most talented guy on the field but I'd rather have a guy who knows the defense and can make sure it runs better as a unit. If both of those can be achieved with a freshman than start the freshman

Rico and Eric will captain the defense irrespective of who starts at MLB. Rico should set the box even if he's outside.

I love this song. I originally heard it on Bob and Tom and my wife and I sing it from time to time to be goofy.

But is an example that it can happen for some freshmen. But overall, I agree with you about them stepping in and learning Monte's D.

I don't think so at all. WAY, WAY too much to learn in Monte's system for MLB.. Nick Reveiz will be the man. Monte won't trust a freshman in that role...

There really is no way to know until the player gets on campus and start playing with the big dogs. Lots of people thought Chris Donald would start his first year and he has yet to do so. Not picking on CD, just using him as an example. I think Askew is a really good player and he could very well make and immediate impact, but there is no way of knowing until he gets here.

While it's reminds me of the 2008 season, it could be our theme song this year.

But things will get better. We're on the right track to recovery.

This all might be true ... but didn't our LB coach we got from Bama get a couple freshmen ready to start at LB in the SEC? Maybe he can get across technique, simplify to priorities, and put into their heads vision that they can actually do it. I'm not betting on the probability, but think its possible.

IDK if he will start, but he will play. He is a very talented young man. I look for him to get special teams time in the start and be on the two deep.

On another note, he could possibly move to the outside where he will blitz more, which is his specialty.

How smart is Askew? How quickly can he learn Monte's defense? When will he report? Is he already studying the playbook?

When will he report? I think I remember that he will be here in the summer, but not sure.
Is he already studying the playbook?All prospects we signed were sent a playbook to start getting familiar with.

Is your post supposed to make any sense? :wacko: And yes I am pulling for the best player to play, and reveiz does not have SEC size or SPEED. He over pursues constantly because of that lack of speed, and has problems getting off blocks. His seniority is about the only thing he has going for him, besides his strength which can only take you so far as a linebacker. I like how hard of a worker he his, but the bottom line is he can't play sideline to sideline. Which is what you need in the SEC.......Anything else you want me to explain to you swarm?
