Man he has been really solid at that striker position! Hopefully that will continue to be our base defense.Isn't Finley essentially a linebacker at this point?

Not worried:
Pinckney has "off the field issues"
Quarterman isn't an idiot, loves it here, and knows he'd benefit greatly from one more year.
Finley has some decent tape but his numbers aren't great.
McCloud has been solid n 2018.
Steed, Jennings, Wilder all entering year 3 in 2019.
Been saying all year jjax shouldn’t declare, especially with this dline class ... dude can easily be a first round pick next yearNo one on this team should leave early, even JJack. Willis should be proof that staying the extra year provides significant benefit. NFL doesn't have patience to wait for you to develop.
I think its time to contextualize the linebackers.
None of the current starters are First Team All-Conference caliber players. They just aren't.
They all have their own set of individual weaknesses but also have areas they win in.
They've all had more individually bad games in their careers than good games, but a lot of very average games for the most part.
Except McCloud, McCloud kind of stinks.
The fact that none of the backups get a lot of burn ahead of these guys is worrisome. I don't see any linebackers right now being impact players before they graduate.
This year's linebacker class (Solomon, Huff in particular) is extremely important in an era of Canes football where our iDL depth lacks. More pressure on the LBs to really be two way players.
Outside of iDL, QB and OL, LB recruiting and evaluations has been the most worrisome.
I’ve heard from multiple family members of players at the game that 56 is gone and he doesn’t care what round he goes in.As of a few weeks ago (TIFWIW), Joe Jack and Pinckney were planning on leaving early. Shaq was leaning on coming back. Things can and will likely change.
True, I think They need another year especially if you aren’t guaranteed to be a top 2 round pickWhere is 55 and 56 going?
Good luck trying to make a roster. If true, these kids will never learn.I’ve heard from multiple family members of players at the game that 56 is gone and he doesn’t care what round he goes in.
