Patrick Joyner???

[troycbullock]

Does anyone know what his status is? We have depth issues at LB but I don’t hear anything about him. He was a prize local recruit, yet I hear or read nothing on his presence.

 

[Canesfan1899]

I believe he's been getting some looks at DE.

 

[UMinati]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee’s

 

[CFLCane]

battling for the 2 deep @ DE. Will get a ton of snaps in 2020

Should probably switch to LB with Hill arriving in a few weeks.

To me joyner seems like an ideal fit as 3-4 outside linebacker who specializes rushing the passer, playing in space. We may be having a tough time finding a spot for him. Hopefully he can make some kind of impact.

If he can’t beat out Patchan and Harvey, he won’t be battling Hill. Its just concerning that he hasn’t had a bigger impact when Harvey and Rouseau have.

I'm not sure why you would measure Joyner a summer B enrollee to Roseau who was an EE and came in as athletic freak and Patchan who's 5th year senior. Harvey i get, but even Harvey is an EE this year and came in much more ready to play size wise. Being an EE has a tremendous advantage.

All that aside , it's been 5 practices in pads so i have no idea where you're getting the "impact" from Harvey from. Similarly Frierson was getting a ton of spring love last year and then went full where's waldo in the fall.

IMO Joyner was always considered a year 2/3 contributor guy. He's not in the Tyreic Martin category.

 

[gcane44]

If he's a better DE than LB then he should stay at DE

 

[TexasCane90]

Hopefully he finds a home at DE

Always thought he would have a “tool box” Trent like career here.. undersized but can be a dude who just gets sacks and gets the job done

I hope both those guys reflect the hype, but neither has a had any actual impact that I am aware of. So far Rousseau is the practice/scrimmage phenom who got derailed by injury and Harvey is the true freshman everybody else supposedly slept on.

It may be those guys have clearly distanced themselves from Joyner, but it also may be they all sit in the same boat. None have actually done anything in the regular season.

Good question, it would be good if they went back to joyner as a linebacker, i know his coverage skills are part of the problem, but he'd be the quickest linebacker to the ball, he has that kind of ability, d-end i think will waist his time here!

 

[Twhizman]

Need to get this cat on the field he's a beast.

If only it were that easy.

[Hurracanes]

LB recruiting has been mind boggling.

 

[HarrietTubmanCane]

My breakout pick on defense this season.

 

[954cane]

Career backup at best

He played MLB against Pitt in 2018 so it isn't uncharted territory.

We have Rousseau, Harvey, Hill, Williams, Phillips in the mix and very little at LB after 55, 56, 53, 44. This needs to happen imo.

Yep. He looked ok in mop up duty, played downhill and showed some pop when he hit.
