re: Can we talk about Daronte Jones for minute?

Daronte Jones was recommended by Amanda. Ed is trying to recapture the defensive success Aranda had here. The big difference is that LSU isn't using the kind of linebackers that are needed to run a LB focused scheme. Jones, Sampah, Webb, BJ all seem like the kind of LBs that should work for that system. But none of them are seeing the field consistently.

Sometimes you need to run a scheme that matches the players you have, not try to make players fit a scheme they aren't made for.

Eta: I don't think we'll find another Devin White. But we should have multiple players on the roster that can play up to a Queen or Phillips level.

Aranda is a 3-4 guy, does Jones want to run a 3-4 but O told him he has to run 4-3. As for having someone like Queen at LB, he like Devin was a 1st round pick. I don't see any 1st rounders at the LB corp.
