Totally different game back then. Did they even have facemasks on their helmets?

Keontra maybe can play LB in college. He would be on the smaller size but has experience playing LB in high school.As an FYI... there is a thread that @brock bumped where there was talk of Keontra being able to play LB (I of course endorse that line of thought).
Just sayin' we have stronger options here than we do on the OL.

None of the three guys you mentioned has done anything more than Brooks or Huff. Most people forgot Wilder was even on the team.It’s not just Jennings. It’s now Jennings combined with Steed and Wilder. 55/56 are going to play a ton of football this year, and very few backers in the country go a whole season without at least some small injury. It’d be nice to be able to put a kid in who has been here longer than 45 minutes if/when that happens.
If 55/56 are healthy for every snap of every game and play their normal high percentage of the snaps, this is no big deal. But losing 3 veteran LBers (even if they haven’t played much) and having to possibly and probably rely on true freshmen isn’t a good thing. Just hope there’s no further injuries, but good luck with that.
YupSo...maybe we should just forget about the 2019 season and start thinking about 2020.

We need a couple backups to give the top guys some occasional rest. And we have them. We have 2 great freshmen prospects, and Diaz showed us 3 years ago what he could do with freshmen LBs.
We’re thin. But you guys, in typical UM fan fashion, are blowing it way out of proportion. If we lose our top LBs it’ll be a big blow. But you could say the same thing about any other team.
It might be worth discussing; it’s not worth panic and despair. And we didn’t lose Wilder 6 weeks before the season. We lost him seemingly 7 years ago. I barely remember him. Steed, bless his heart, has been struggling with serious injuries since his HS days.You’re right. When you think Miami Hurricanes, you think “quality depth”.
On Earth though, when you’re thin already and lose 3 guys who play the same position 6 weeks before camp even starts, it’s worth discussing.
He was progressing well and on his way to legit PT before he had some fluke type devastating injury that seems to happen to all our young LB. Depends on how much back to form he is and if he is 100% recovered or one of those limping with brace recovered.What should we expect from him this season? He says he's healthyView attachment 118604

You think Brooks or Huff will be able to hold the starting job over Jennings? He knows this scheme inside and out. Jennings might only be a 3 Star Recruit but he was a monster in highschoolDepth and special teams player.
Yes, Brooks when healthy is an absolute monster. Huff is a specimen. Jennings will play but he's not starting. He's a liability on defense bro....You think Brooks or Huff will be able to hold the starting job over Jennings? He knows this scheme inside and out.

Open competition at the other LB spot opposite McCloud. Brooks, Huff, Jennings, and even Cave/Flagg. It’ll be nice to have some depth though. Assuming it’s either Brooks/Huff, what a serious infusion of speed compared to Shaq/Pinckney.
He most likely will. But do you see three of the competition beating him out? I don't.why should McCloud not have to compete for a starting spot?
