BUT that doesn’t mean we don’t start utilizing his strengths better here in the short time while he’s getting adjusted. He will get better at the linebacker stuff with reps, but we desperately need him being aggressive because that’s when he excels

One thing I noticed on my rewatch was every time LSU did line Perkins up on the edge, the ball came out quickly. Hell, on one of FSU's TDs, Perkins gets around the edge almost untouched. FSU had a plan and Travis executed it to perfection.

I don't know what the answer is. I almost think Perkins would benefit from playing a role similar to Brooks but you know teams are going to test his coverage skills if you do that, but I'm not convinced he couldn't handle his own in that regard. He looks uncomfortable in the box but so did Speights who has played a ton of football. Maybe House sucks at coaching LBs?
