I'll take them all please.

As far as positions go, they Gay plays OLB, Phillips and Taylor are ILBs and Chaisson is an edge rusher.

I think if we could get them all, take them all and let coach Aranda figure it out from there.

Why 3 out of 4? The 3-4 is our new base defense. That 4 means 4 linebackers. So why set an arbitrary limit of 3?

That said, I would be interested in which position those in the know think each fits best in this scheme.

Queen, Gay, Phillips and Chaisson would sure up the LB position for the rest of Aranda's tenure at LSU.

In my opinion...

Gay - Inside Rover/Will, think Deion Jones but in Aranda's scheme
Phillips - True Mike or Mack inside backer
Taylor - F-OLB, sets edge to the field side, could also play inside Mack
Chaisson - Buck OLB, think Arden Key
Queen - another inside Rover guy, he has the frame to play at 230+

Does Aranda have "a" scheme? I'm sure he has preferences. But my point is that he can work well with what he has on hand.

Phillips and Gay. Chaisson is a rush defensive end.

I think Aranda will make whatever works - if they're physical and are able to run to the ball (see what he did in Wisconsin - heck, see what he did in 1 year with Duke Riley).

Having said that - I know the least about Taylor - I think he's similar to Phillips in build and the role he might fill. Phillips has come on strong, lately, and is more of a natural ILB - could play Mike in a 4-3, will play inside for us (probably Mack) if he comes. Gay is a traditional OLB - would play outside in a 4-3, will play the outside "cover" linebacker spot or he might grow into the Rover ILB. Chaisson is classic Buck LB all the way.
