re: 2 more Alabama LBs hit portal

Well I remember this guy laying some wood too. He’s an absolute beast stopping the run. I definitely wouldn’t have him in any base defense but you could easily find a spot for him in packages.

Short yardage, run heavy teams, nickel/dime packages where you could cover him up with an extra safety but he would have to at minimum be able to rush the passer and be disruptive to the QB. I’d just send him to rush the QB if it wasn’t a run play and let him cover a TE or slower type of running back.

There’s no doubt that he could be of some use and as thin as we are right now. If there wasn’t a better option, I’d take him. He’d bring a veteran presence and an attitude to the defense that we are lacking bigly. But like I said if he isn’t even able to be disruptive on pass plays and get pressure then I wouldn’t waste the time. I don’t know enough about him. I trust these coaches. They know what they need. I just hope they can get it asap.
