Is Beckwith that much better than Welter or am I just biased?

No hate for welter (well kinda) but I feel like beckwith is a much better MLB than welter. It's not even close. How did the coaching staff not see this? Why did it take 5 or so games for them to realize welter just isn't a good MLB. He wouldn't start on any team in the SEC except Vanderbilt. I'm sure he is a good guy but he does not need to be starting.

Does anyone know if he played any last night? I didn't see him on the field

I thought we were better up the gut last night with Beckwith. I thought I saw Welter in there, but it could have been on special teams.

Beckwith is better, but he's going to struggle to be an avg SEC middle linebacker. He's missed on lots of tackles as well.

Got in at LB and lost the angle on Driskel because he's too slow and gave up a 1st down run.

Looked a lot like Welter out there. Maybe it's scheme, but neither plugs the hole and are bad in pursuit.

DT"s played better last night.

Beckwith was far from impressive last night.

Beckwith was second on the team with 6 total tackles last night. Only one better was Alexander with 10.

Beckwith still needs a lot of work. Slight improvement over Welter.

Lol. Also his job was to make sure they had the right calls in on special teams.

A smashing success, 7 pts was the lowest total Welter has given up all year

Kwon is by far the best LB. The rest are average. Alexander is a man among boys out there.

You are biased. The reason our defense was better was because our front 4 played much better and stayed in lanes. Beckwith couldn't get near the plays in the open field. His strength is supposed to be in stopping the run but he got trucked by the QB on one of Florida's TD's. If that was Welter there would have been 30 threads on it with gif's already.

He's a much better athlete but doesn't appear to really know what he's doing out there. Probably just needs some real playing time to figure it out.
