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?

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.

In a way, Minter was "too good" last year. He played himself right into leaving early which at the start of the year I wouldn't have guessed it.

not arguing that welter is better or even our best option, he may be. but id like to see amount of snaps played as well. Dont recall minter coming off the field too often. weve moved guys around a lot at linebacker.

and like i saud, we played a good bit of a 4-1-6 with kwon being the onky backer on the field.

the game wasnt in doubt and chavis is still giving diff looks.

Uf still ran us in the dirt with minters 17 solo tackles. im still not understanding the big diff in one guy making a tackle as opposed to 2. again anytime one oerson tried to tackle hill, he was gone.
