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.

edited -meant move to LB not safety

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.

But he was effective and got on the field as a true freshman.

He was basically a safety put near the LOS to blitz

I agree he is too light
I honestly think they don't know what to do with him now that they are in a 4-3
Also I don't think he is starting at linebacker so that is probably the root of the problem

He admitted just the other day that he has no LBers

And again today said he needs a grad transfer there


So yea, Brooks is kind of being forced there.

With the way teams are throwing the ball now, is it really that much of an issue?

Marcel at LB and Jacoby at FS are both headscratchers to me.

I would have Jacoby at SS closer to the line and Mo at FS.

SS - 1. Jacoby
2. Marcel

FS - 1. Mo
2. T. Harris

BUT it wasn't dumb when we had a 200lb guy rushing the passer for the edge against guys 130lbs heavier

I think me and you watched different games bud. He was lined up like an edge rusher. or in a 3-4 you could say and outside LINEBACKER. so we moved him from linebacker to.... linebacker. yes very dumb.

Maybe they’ll try to use him like Deion Jones
