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.



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.

welter played every snap against TCU and had maybe 2 tackles

His tackles are 10 yards downfield every time. He's made 2 open field tackles against goofy QBs on the run that were short of 5 yards of the LOS and thats about it. Comparing him to Minter in any way is like comparing Ronnie Lott to Rockey Duplessis.
