So he posted a picture of him and his friend Nick Cross a safety playing for Maryland asked him ''So they finally let you play at safety ? And this was his response LINK

Apparently he doesn’t cover well, hence the move to LB. Hopefully he buys in because that kind of attitude doesn’t lead to success.

He is good at rushing the QB, but he could do it from safety position.

I think as time goes by this offseason, the LB room will he figured out and Brooks will realize he’s essentially gonna be a Swiss Army knife.
He’ll be needed at S in 2021 and will take over Jacoby duties but in 2020 he’s gonna be the 3rd LB or 3rd S (close to LOS).
I think LSU will mostly be in 4-2-5 or 3-2-6 next year regardless, making him a hybrid somewhere. Not necessarily at LB.

Get your weight up baw!

I just don’t get him being in the middle. He’s an edge rusher.

Marcel brooks also tweeted this LINK
I just hope that he trust the process, jacoby Stevens was TE In a Matt Canadá offense!! Jacoby was in a worse situation than marcel, but never panic and now he is on his way to be #18 for LSU.
Hope we sign that Cox lb so they can use marcel in another spot. Will lb is a great fit for him, not mike lb.
Also, coach o forgot marcel brooks name in the media session, he just remember him like “#9”, no big deal but Idk what a kid can think about that.

It’s a head scratcher for sure
Bo Pelini understands more about football than I do, so I’ll wait and see.
The cool thing about the rant is there are so many experts in every sport posting here. The coaches can get lots of awesome ideas from the posters on this board

I mean, if he doesn’t like it, leave.
Posted on 3/11/20 at 6:21 am to Dysp
i think they should handle him like they did Stevens last year...Stevens was more of a hybrid Safety that played low in the box and rushed a few times and also dropped back...It wasnt often they made Stevens cover over the top because he just didnt have the speed

Bo Pelini had a very similar player when he was the defensive coordinator at Nebraska - Demorrio Williams. Williams was at 6'1, 205 pounds and playing linebacker in the Big 12.
He originally walked on at Kilgore College playing cornerback and transferred to Nebraska for his final two years.
At Nebraska, playing linebacker, he became:
-First Team All-Big 12
-Butkus Award Semifinalist
-Team Captain
-Nebraska record for unassisted tackles
-Drafted 4th Rd to the Falcons
At Nebraska, Williams was so good at getting to the QB, Bo would even put him as a fifth lineman/rush end on third-downs. The kid was light as can be, but just made plays.
Point being, Brooks probably can't cover for shite and is a liability in the secondary. Unfortunately for him, we've got guys that can cover and are better suited to play the safety position. Listen to and trust your coaches, Brooks. They've been around a lot longer, and know a hell of a lot more about the position than you do.

Williams started all 16 of the Falcons' regular-season games of the 2005 NFL season, recording 132 tackles, and ranking second on his team for that statistic. He had a career-high 15 tackles in a December 12, 2005 game against the New Orleans Saints.

On March 1, 2008, Williams signed a five-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. After 4 seasons with Chiefs, Williams was released on March 6, 2012.[1]

Well, he needs to take note of Jacoby and how he embraced the position changes and all it is doing is making him more versatile and giving him a better chance of being drafted.

I guess somebody is about to have a talking to

Show him how much money he will make in the NFL if he transitions to LB successfully with his speed.
Posted on 3/11/20 at 12:36 pm to Dysp
He's gonna get it when he sees Pelini calling defenses and using him like a missle to the ball. Stay patient grasshopper.

Deion Jones came to LSU as a 200 pound LB out of High School. Seems to have worked for him, 1st round draft pick that is excelling for the Falcons. It is up to him as an individual how he takes advantage of the situation or not.
