Why would he need more power 5 offers when he got the offer he wanted which was UM?.Any idea why he never tested? Seems like the best way to get attention if you’re an elite athlete and want to get more P5 offers

Bro i would be scared as a lb in this scheme. At any given tim,e its 2 FREE olineman coming at their ***. **** of a scheme for a DL that wanna rack up some statsIt's much more than the LBs. We tell our DL to get penetration at all costs. We don't teach them to even stiff arm or bump a OL along the way, so those kids have a straight-line path to blocking or walling off our linebackers. It's most apparent when the OL zone blocks in one direction. Their guards and tackles will know our DTs are shooting and DEs are pinching, and they can blind-side block our LBs who weigh 50-100 pounds less than them. Our scheme is cruel on LBs.
Having more instinctual, athletic LBs will make a difference. But until we adjust our scheme and go more multiple, with more line discipline, we're going to continue to get gashed.
one of the best ever.
Farrel: How heavy are they recruiting you?
Wilder: ummmmm...Very Great!
I knew we were in for some classic sh*t when it started off like that lol
Farrel: Lets talk about schools you wanted to visit...you mentioned 3 schools that you want to visit,tell me what those 3 schools are?
Wilder: umm Florida,umm Florida State, Auburn, Alabama again, Lsu, Tennesee, Broward College, Lynn University, Devry and ummm...Louisville
100000%Bro i would be scared as a lb in this scheme. At any given tim,e its 2 FREE olineman coming at their ***. **** of a scheme for a DL that wanna rack up some stats
Farrel asked him what should I work on, jit looked at him up and down and goes "get in shape" lol
no one should ever slander Wilder. Still my favorite interview of all time. Can’t help but to watch this anytime someone mentions his name.
does anyone know if he stayed around and got a degree?
When was the last time we had a LB with strength to punish blockers?
Plenty of NFL teams run aggressive penetrating fronts without abandoning gap integrity and exposing their LBs to climbing OL. Bucs, Steelers, Bears, Rams are good examples. You need at least a couple big physical DL who demand sustained combo blocks. Guys like Cam Heyward, Vita Vea, Brockers, Akiem Hicks, etc.100000%
As much as people say we can't recruit LBs...I don't even know if it's possible to do so with the scheme MD runs. There has to be a way to run something that balances aggression with effectiveness for NTs/DTs.
Agreed, give me some kids that can change direction and can actually get to where they're supposed to be to stop the run.We need more ATHLETES on defense. More twitch!
It's both. Cleaning out the defensive staff was obviously a start. But yes you also need to get some LBs that are actually able to diagnose a play.we had a pretty great run defense when we had guys like chad thomas, trent harris, RJ mcintosh, kendrick norton, shaq etc in the front 7. i think it's a player problem & not a scheme problem -- either way it falls on manny but i don't buy the idea that the scheme is inherently broken or bad. he's had too much defensive success here for that to be the case imo

I'm saying Johnson has that twitch. And we need more of those types.Brooks, Huff and Cave are supposed to be those kids. Are you saying Johnson doesn't have enough twitch? He looks pretty twitchy to me in those highlights.
I personally think he's Miami material. Not sure I see elite play, but he has some potential. But where Troutman plays MLB and has some good film dropping back in coverage and diagnosing plays, Johnson is an edge rusher. He's going to take a while to learn the position.
