re: Ronnie Feist transfer - bad for LB depth?

I do not believe Feist sucks. Mark my words he is going to kill it this year.

Let me start by saying that I know Feist switched to FB this season.

So yeha, it didnt really affect LB depth at all.

Also, if we're moving to a 3-4, obviously DEs like Key, Bower and some incoming guys like Anthony, will be rush OLBs.

LB depth has been non existent and he couldn't get on the field, so I'm going to say irrelevant

I could be alone in this and we may not have all the pieces for any great traditional 43 or 34 but I think Aranda can use guys like Thompson, Voorhies, Teuhema, MJ Patterson etc to put a great D out there, I think Aranda can use that to our advantage to build a kind of faster 34 similar to the way Chavis ran his 43. I was always a fan of the way we matched up against spread teams because of our team speed on D.

Opens up a slot for this recruiting class, good news to me.

I think this is the first thing Aranda will do. I think we might see Key at LBer in some formations. Obviously, he'll be a down lineman most of the time tho. I also think we'll see Devin White at LBer instead of RB.

It messed up the linebacker depth chart in your head but not the actual one. He's transferring because he wasn't going to play.

Voohries, Beckwith, Riley and Alexander were probably all in front of him. Considering that we average 2 linebackers on the field at a time, and that freshmen coming in were probably also going to pass him, he was not going to be a factor.

The guy seems like a great athlete. Maybe he just doesn't have the instincts.
