Keeping the trio together another season was one of the first big wins of the off season. Without them, D would be in big trouble. Find it kinda weird there hasn't been more discussion on what they can do and what we expect for their last year. They have a chance to step up in a big way this season and be at least 2nd day picks imo *if* they deliver.
We've already seen them looking in significatly better shape, at least by body comp, with the new S&C. I can't wait to see how it shows on the field. There's also another factor to consider: Baker.
As great as Manny was on D, I think his biggest deficiency was as an LB coach. He did not recruit those 3, but they did deliver freshman year. After that though I personally don't think we've seen any big jump since then, just incremental improvement. The biggest problems have consistently been sideline to sideline speed and discipline.
I'm hoping the new shredded looks are a precursor to being a bit faster on the field. I'm hoping the infusion of Baker can compliment and improve on Mannys teachings and help propel them to the next step. If they step up this year, and DL eats as it always has, then we'll be taking a lot of pressure off an inexperienced secondary.
Thoughts? And any knowledge on Baker's record with LBs?
