He is out of position more often than you think. He misses tackles
He is out of position because he has read and pursued the ball to the point of putting himself out of position. Its called overpursuing. An easily corrected trait of a LB.
Secondly, he misses alot of tackles BECAUSE HE OVERPURSUES.
When he does find the right spot he comes with authority. Rewatch MSU again and see who was making plays on the field.
Lastly, pass coverage only comes with experience and he is probably better at it than James Laurinatis whom we abused last year and he won the award for best LB in the country.

I hope you're right...he does lay the wood when he tackles. I am just looking forward to seeing Baker play soon. What's sad is that big heavy hitting LBs are losing their value with all of the spread or spread/option type offenses being used. A team has to play a nickle package almost every game.
