Pruitt on Banks at linebacker: 'I think he could play this week.'

[Behr]

I like it. The young man is very athletic and very motivated. He just needs some direction. And telling him to, “Go ruin the ball carrier’s life. Get there fast and be in a bad mood when you arrive” might just be the key.

This all day long. Chit got me pumped ready to go tackle this bish in line at 7-11.

If he's able to learn the role well enough to see the field this week I'll be amazed.

Pruitt said the calls are simple

 

[Jack Burton]

He's a natural or JJ's rubbing off on him.

My thoughts too. Banks is like JJ and just has that attitude you need on the field.

 

[BeecherVol]

Good sign IMO.

Banks is a football player with some "tude" to him. Hes stuck on the depth chart at RB because of the ball security issues. If he can get to the football and bring the noise it's well worth the move.

I love the passion this young man plays with. I hope he does not get bent out of shape about moving to defense.

It was Banks decision. He made the call.

 

[tlester3672]

I see a targeting call in the near future.......

 

[cwbytruckers]

If true then even more props. Coach if i can help the team i will push the damn bus. What do you need from me attitude is a championship attitude.

Yeah i think he can do that

 

[secking]

He will need to control his emotion. Be hard to pull up, go from 100 to 0, I can see him getting a late hit.

Love his fire and attitude... If he's anywhere close to Al Wilson by the time he leaves his Jr. or Sr. year, he'll get paid a lot more and longer than RB's in the NFL.

 

[BeecherVol]

He will need to control his emotion. Be hard to pull up, go from 100 to 0, I can see him getting a late hit.

Yeah, but its easier to real them in than jack them up.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Just show him films of AW, put a horse collar on his pads, and tell him to create havoc.

 

[SaltyBro]

Plug him in to rush the QB. Smart money says he won’t “tippy toe in”.

Should have good speed as well for a line backer.

 

[SaltyBro]

Did he play any LB in high school? If so, his learning curve may not be too steep.

We sure could use another Al Wilson type at that position

Most RB in college played line backer as well in high school. So it wouldn't surprise if he did play.

Behr at 7-11.

A Horse Collar is mandatory for Banks IMO

 

[secking]

Yeah, but its easier to real them in than jack them up.

True, but the water boy would have been flagged for targeting.

 

[82_VOL_83]

A Horse Collar is mandatory for Banks IMO

And the AW pads. Things were bigly yuge!

That's a good problem to have

 

[jpope9]

True, but the water boy would have been flagged for targeting.

So would al Wilson... But I'd take 11 of him on defense.

 

[BeecherVol]

True, but the water boy would have been flagged for targeting.

Yeah. Never would have broke the NCAA sack record for a game.

A late hit or 2 can be overlooked if that's not your only plays. Targeting is a different animal.

 

[BigBadVol]

At this point, just line him up and tell him to attack the ball. Young man has guts, heart, and want to.

Nail on head! The kid is a beast!

 

[UT-Rex]

At this point, just line him up and tell him to attack the ball. Young man has guts, heart, and want to.

But, what if -- on his first defensive drive -- he causes a fumble on the 1, picks it up, runs 94 yards and fumbles it on the 5, giving the opposing team the ball right back. Then what ?? THEN what position will he play ??

 

[AndyMizunogolfer]

This shows what CJP thinks of our current LB group. Outside of Bituli I don't see another LB that would play for any other SEC schools.
