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...

Are Toure and Chase Day 1 or Day 2 guys, no. So that alone tells you we can get better at LB. I worry less about them than what's behind them right now. I think they're good enough to get the job done. And I feel like we'll be okay at setting the edge even if we take a step down from Bain and Mesi who were exceptional at that. After them, a lot of question marks.

I love Hetherman. But dude should have gone after a LB this portal season when Bobby Washington and Popo both transferred out, Those were two talented guys (Bobby more potential than proven) who would have been our second team. I look on the roster right now and do not see anyone ready to fill their shoes.

Luckily we have a joke of a schedule. That's what makes it work for us. We have the entire season to get practice essentially in for the playoffs

Schedule early works out perfect to get the team to gel, you couldn't ask for a better schedule competition wise. But the Friday nights and **** like that is always meant to ***** us over. But we have cupcake teams early, its like a preseason schedule.

If we lose anything other than potentially to the pedos until the playoffs it's entirely on coaching.
