Especially if Beckwith leaves. Can any of these guys be expected to play as top notch LBs? I don't see that any of them made much of an impact this season.

55 Cole Miller LB 6-2 220 So. RS Shreveport, La. (Captain Shreve HS/Nicholls)
35 Devin Voorhies LB 6-1 216 So. 1L Woodville, Miss. (Wilkinson County HS)
40 Duke Riley LB 6-0 227 Jr. 2L Buras, La. (John Curtis HS)
48 Donnie Alexander LB 6-1 215 So. 1L New Orleans, La. (Edna Karr HS)
51 Jonathan Rucker LB 6-0 236 So. SQ Ponchatoula, La. (Ponchatoula HS)
52 Kendell Beckwith LB 6-2 252 Jr. 2L Clinton, La. (East Feliciana HS)
62 Hunter Burns LB 6-0 222 So. SQ Wilmer, Ala. (Mary G. Montgomery HS/Baton Rouge CC)

It was a pretty big weakness this year too. Beckwith did not perform like we all hoped.

We need to give Beckwith whatever he wants to stay one more year.

A dominant d-line that it looks they could have with returners and this class coming in can really mask an average LB corps.

Debo made up for it

I'd say LBers play was the strongest unit this year

No, we don't need to give him anything to play like he is trying not to get hurt all year.

Completely disagree. He just wasn't given much of an opportunity. Our DE play wasn't as good as 2014 and they couldn't funnel things inside for Beck to stop them.


eta: Sweet downvote. Just what I wanted for Christmas. How about you discuss instead of downvoting?

Beckwith is gone. He's on everyone's board as a top 2 LB.

So, what you're saying is 2017?

Beckwith's limitations (and want) were completely exposed this year. I would be fine if he doesn't come back.

I agree. Also note linemen getting into the second level of our defense a lot of the times. Impossible for Beckwith to make a play with a 300+ IB lineman pushing him into Narnia
