These are our current and future linebackers
- Thread starter Redmich
- Start date
54 shows promise, he knows how to jump on the pile and get into the stat line, just hope somebody coaches these lads up, they have some promise but if the line can't do anything and the backside can't tackle anybody well then we are in for a long couple of years.
I thought ruud was pretty good at developing his linebackers until this season, he must have been drinking with frost
He's been pretty terrible all along from what I can see. Having 6th year seniors last year helped him out quite a bit, but you still saw freshman mistakes even from those guys at times.
Gunnerson and Butler have that perfect build you want in a stand-up edge rusher. Are they any good? Probably not. Recruited by Fraud and Co. So far coached by Fraud and Co.
Middles seem to REALLY lack speed. At least in a reasonably sized guy.

Butler's never shown anything as far as I can tell, and I don't know where Gunnerson has been or why he can't get on the field.
Fortunately, our state is stacked. The 6/8 man teams are loaded with County Scholarship players. GBR!!
I really don't want to dog our LB corp... and I further hate asking... but are our LB really upto snuff? It's easy to see all the NE locations and wince - I'll admit I did.
