Minter and Barrow, our senior starting LBers have combined 9 solo tackles in 4 games. NINE!


minter isnt on the team. and what dies solo tackles have to do with it? dont we want multiple guys around the ball carruer? dont we want the guys swarming on d? we dint want anyone one on one with a good back. If auburn had more guys tackling hill, he woukdnt have busted thise huge runs. If the linebacjers werent ckeaning up plays, it would have been worse.


malzhans o will be abke to move the ball on people. once nick keeos getting used to the speed, they will be hard to stop. which is what we did. at one pt we had almost double the yardage and had ran the same amount of plays. we were up 35-14 then. the game was never in doubt.

When 90% of your tackles are assists, it's a problem.

Kwon had a great mix of solo and assists (5-5). Barrow made not one solo tackle. That is disturbing. Welter is what he is, and that is mediocre. Hell, even in a game where he went out for a significant portion, Minter had 17 solo tackles against UF last year! Our starting MLB has 6 in 4 games.

To give you an idea. Minter averaged 4.2 solo tackles a game last year. Wetler is at 1.5 solo tackles a game. Even if you take out his UF game, Minter had over 3 solo tackles a game.

It is a big deal. Assisted tackles are nice, but when that's all you have and combine it with the opponents backs get 5+ yards/carry, it is an issue.
