GIVE US CHASE SMITH AT LB

[AlexCane]

I don't know if anyone caught it, but Chase closed on a returner (can't recall if it was a PR or KOR) in an impressive fashion. It was striking to witness in person. It's 1 play and it doesn't mean he can play, but it was impressive to witness. Haven't seen that dynamic ability from any of the LBs/strikers this year.

That is an interesting take. I guess it depends on how Chase handles the move or if he wants to move. Keontra basically played LB in HS. Chase was a WR and Safety. I wonder how physical he would be taking on OL

Folks look at size and think it automatically translates.

So your want to move our best linebacker, where we have the worst depth, to a different position?

Yes. Keontra too small at LB.

I would swap the smiths. Move keontra back to striker and put chase at LB. Chase looks like a LB. They are going after clemson transfer safety and he would probably play striker

100 % agree. Any competent defensive coaching mind would immediately make Chase a WILL and move Keontra to safety or the hybrid role such as striker if the next coordinator runs 4-2-5.

Don’t really care who it is, but seriously, just get
us an LB that can fill the right gap. It’s really not that hard.

Knowing playbook is overrated…needs PT
