Man people are crazy talking **** about our LBs! We had the best front 7 in college football last year. And Chase split time with Wes most of the year so he’s good. They both (toure and chase) stayed healthy all year last year. They are not superstars, but when they hit a bih they knock them back and that’s what we need from them. Stop the run and run to the ball. Once they took Toure out of so much open space, he balled out. We run an upfield, attacking 4-2-5. For you to be a successful run defense in that as your base, the LBs have so much responsibility in the box! Our guys were great at it last year. Our DTs aren’t the big hole pluggers that take on two guys every down. Everyone is getting upfield and attacking. That means the LBs are taking on and shedding blockers on every down.

I dont get it either, Chase played alot, even in playoffs, even in championship game.. No one said anything when they were in game together during championship game and holding it down. If I bought anything up its usually more about guys playing 8 years in cfb. I think that is tough on younger guys but if they werent weak point in defense last year, they wont be this year either..
 
the crazy part is their is a section of people who are shouting "you can tell he's a first round pick from three clips" as if there are an infinite amount of humans that can do what he did at 17-18 years old ... my reply is "you can't?"

They played well but we know we can do a whole bunch better. They played good though its not a knock on them but I always expect Miami to get better players every year when we up. Nothing wrong with wanting to get better every year imo. Chase was rag dolling dudes in the playoffs I said when we were on a run.

Needs to clean up the footwork but sheesh the raw size, power, and hand strength is a sight to behold. By the time we play FSU he should be settled in and ready to dominate.

If there's ever a point in time I need to remind myself most people don't comprehend this game the same it's when I'm on here... #1 our FRONT 7 & our LBer room are separate units. While they play in random a lber room much like a DB room is semi reliant on the production of the line... We excelled last season because we had a DOMINANT LINE more specifically even when playing the run Our tackles didn't get pushed around and made plays & MOST OFF OUR EDGES WERE DOMINANT AT SETTING AND SHEDDING TO MAKE PLAYS. We dominated because of that unit and there's nothing else to it. Wes and Mo got exposed numerous times especially Wes due to there limitations. Mo struggled against the pass and Wes struggled to shed blockers and tackle in space. Chase is a combination of Mo and Wes who definitely had his moments last year mainly because he was a complimentary piece. His game when healthy I'm not overly concerned with ONLY because we've already seen his strengths and weaknesses. The concern comes about now out of the lber room BECAUSE WE NO LONGER HAVE THOSE DOMINANT EDGES WHO CAN SET AND SHED. Damon wilson is a liability against the run so far. Lord willing in our system he gets better. But at two stops previously he does nothing to help with the run. If Lightfoot starts at the other edge then we again are at a liability against the run. Lowe is our best hope in that category to go along with Blount. But lowe we haven't actually seen what we're gonna get in game time.

So for those confused that's where the concern with our backers come in. The issue with Mo and Wes (who we just established chase is a mixture of)is predominantly there lack of speed and ability to play in space. You combine that with edges who can't set and that makes running outside very problematic...
