re: What senior will wear #18 this year... 3 chosen to represent for media days

He's been nothing short of great for the young linebackers according to Chief, going as far as to coach and tutor the guy pressing him for playing time.

I thought he played tentatively for fear of making mistakes early through mid season. The last couple of games he showed a little more confidence, especially in the bowl game.

with that said, he lacks the nastiness I think it takes to be a great mike linebacker. But I am all for him wearing the 18. He's a leader and may be instrumental to our success this year defensively.
