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.

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.

Yea and if you watch the game again you'll see when he's in on a tackle solo he gets dragged forward each time. He definitely isn't a stonewall like Minter was.

I never compared him to minter, the other poster did. I simply said it wasnt our linebackers that were the problem saturday. I just stated that our d was better when our dbs were the leading tacklers, not the linebackers. Which people infered to us being in trouble because our linebackers dont have a lot of solo tackles. Read the thread dick.
