If he continues to tackle as well as he did then I'm fine with him being out there. Every time I saw Riley around the ball carrier he made a textbook tackle and the ball carrier instantly hit the turf. I think he has the potential to actually be pretty good. He has great play recognition and is a sure tackler.

He did get trucked pretty mean by that QB though.

He's all over the field which I love but he's undersized without a doubt.

And he is a leader on this team. He may not have great size for this defense but he is really all we got.

by definition, he is. and a starting one on a good SEC defense. even if he loses his job, he'll at least be in our LB rotation all year.

now is he an All SEC linebacker? no.
