Two Tigers Are Competing For Starting Inside Linebacker Spot Alongside Michael Divinity

This sounds like one of those good problems

It doesn’t matter who eventually is named starter, the other, probably Queen will play a significant amount because of his versatility. I think he can play all of the linebacker spots

I would like to see Phillips and Divinity on the inside and Queen and Chaisson on the outside.. That is a a$$ load of speed on the outside

Divinity is known as a great communicator and a good leader, similar to the way Devin White was as well the last couple of seasons. Damone Clark has also been praised by the coaching staff for his natural leadership and vocal skills. So, I'm guessing Aranda wants a vocal leader at that spot on the defense. Patrick Queen is a very good linebacker and extremely fast and quick, but at the same time, he doesn't have the same vocal and leadership skills Aranda needs as the position. As Aranda said that once they moved Divinity to that spot, the difference was night and day.

Why isn’t Divinity on the outside?

Why isn’t queen on the outside....
