On Monday, LSU coach Brian Kelly talked about linebacker Harold Perkins and their plan to get him in a position where he can impact the game more.
quote:Perkins had just one tackle vs. Grambling last Saturday. He has three solo and six total tackles on the season with no sacks.
“We wanted to free him up a little bit," Kelly said. "He’s got a lot of responsibilities playing inside, and we just needed to let him go and let him play fast."
"We felt like, with all the things we had asked him to do, we probably slowed him down a little bit. One of the things we need to do as coaches is to know where our players are relative to playing fast. I think we saw in the first play the physicality he showed when the ball got out on the perimeter. You don't want to throw the ball out on the perimeter with Harold."
"I think we made the right decision there, and now we’ll refine what we do with him — like we can move him around, move him inside and outside, and do some things that can keep him in a position to impact the game. That's what we're trying to do."
