This quote by MDCS on Brooks and the LB’s

[yeyo]

Manny Diaz on #Canes LBs: "Sam Brooks Jr. is still out." Says some of the other young LBs are still behind in terms of picking up what they need to, to play beyond special teams.

If that’s the case we will NEVER see TAC or Troutman.

 

[SPAMM]

How can they be behind t he knownothings currently on the field?

 

[Zbrod95]

I don’t want to see Troutman. Kid is small and looks like a safety. I remember seeing a tunnel shot during one of the pregames and Kam Kitchens was bigger than him.

 

[4000TMNT]

Smh I feel that's bull sh*t

 

[RaisingCane26]

I didn’t think there was any responsibility in Manny’s defense aside from putting everything on the safeties.

Troutman is too small. he needs a year to redshirt and just live in the weight room. not everyone is ready to play.

Source: I know him

People thought Spence was small, too, and he balled out.

Has Avery Huff played this year?

 

[305407cane]

True but it doesn’t matter that Flagg and Jennings are big enough they don’t actually have the ability to be close to get a hit on the guy

 

[Jassid82]

Sounds like someone close to him reads this board because he is low key responding to the "TAC and TAC dad going off on Patke in the tunnel after the Pitt game" rumor that was on here. He can slice it however he wants, the LB play overall has been so bad, you empty the bench to find one who can give you decent play if you have to.

I always revert back to the "Bama vs TAMU in 2013" when Mike Evans for TAMU was absolutely destroying every Bama CB in his path early on. (Finished with 280 yards receiving) and Saban literally went down to his 4th string CB to find ANYONE who could guard him and when he did he stuck with that guy for the rest of the game. He didnt care what year you were, whether you were a walkon, or whether you new the playbook..Find me someone to stop Mike Evans and empty the bench if you have to! (Saban voice lol)

I cannot understand why Manny Diaz isnt taking any risks AT ALL in this LB room to find someone who can help this defense. It absolutely doesnt make sense. There is no way he can defend it and he can get all high and mighty if he wants with his 2 game win streak but that is just the reason why people want him fired. He doesnt know what he is doing.

 

[CaneBear0207]

So Brooks is injured again/still? I feel like the answers about him from Diaz and Patke are a little opaque. I continue to think that Brooks and Keontra make our best LB combination (if Brooks is healthy).

A little bit. He got a personal foul on STs last Saturday.

 

[Pentagon Cane]

Spence was 195 soaking wet when he laid out Tebow.

 

[twes.305]

Hopefully 11 and 44 get called for targeting in one game so we can see if Manny actually knows what he’s talking about

 

[Angry Ibis]

A little bit. He got a personal foul on STs last Saturday.

He gets more penalties on special teams week in and week out than snaps at LB… maybe they are correlated

Nothing wrong with small lbs. Sean Spence approves this message!

 

[Antcane]

Nothing wrong with small lbs. Sam Spence approves this message!

Whose Sam Spence?

He should have just said "I am a sh1tty LB recruiter and have failed miserably at that position because I can't develop them."

SMFH - Tell them to find the ball in a hurry. This weirdo is trying to reinvent the wheel while this team/program suffers.
