Davhon Keys had a great performance last year in his little playing time. A pick 6, fumble recovered, 1.5 sacks, 3 PDs. West had 0 sacks, 0 fumbles forced, 0 fumbles recovered, and 0 PDs; Keys also had more tackles per game in the games each played in. Davhon Keys is a disrupter. If West does start or get more PT than Keys, this would feel like another example of BK going with experience over talent. Experience is great, it's why Nuss will take a leap, but do you know what experience doesn't do? Let you burst through the OL to get a sack, outrun that Baylor RB near him on his pick 6 that took elite speed, the ability to track down a 4.5 RB.

I love the family. It's awesome all 3 are on the team. Love that they were willing to leave Georgia to be one of us. His brother Whit is incredible and makes it even better that he came from Georgia.

This is obviously a very big game. There is no let's go with experience and work in the higher ceiling player by subbing him in 2nd half of a Week 1 cupcake. It's you have to be playing your best players to win, and I think we can win. I think Keys is the better player.

After this game when we play Louisiana Tech, I'd like to see Charles Ross mix in and get to see why he was so highly rated, and West get more PT then.

I knew this would originally get downvoted bc the TR (and the OT and Poli Board) is full of little bitches, but I don't give a shite. I tell the truth. If you can't handle the truth then go to church. Because he is just flat out the better player.

PS: The most true posts whether on Reddit or TD are the ones with the most downvotes. That's the case about 99.9% of the time.

Ok Coach

I am sure the PAID coaching staff has been evaluating the situation

That is exactly what scares me as BK makes the final call on all starters. BK likes experience, even at times over talent. I hope he makes the right call on playing the most talented players. The ones that give you your highest chance to win.

You should call football ops and tell Blake Baker you know more about his players and scheme than he does. In fact, they should get rid of Baker’s exorbitant salary and hire you for $10 and a ham sandwich.

Downvote away Pussies. I don't give a FFFFFF. I tell the truth. If you can't handle that, then you need to toughen up.

If you downvoting means you think West is better, then you don't know ball at all.

Why would anyone freak out about you saying Keys should start over West?

I saw a lot from Keys in his limited time last year. Reports from camp are he's showing out.
I'm not a coach and can't say who should start over who but this kid is real. If he don't see time he'll see the portal.

and for good reason...we didn't have it last year with the injuries on defense, and it is why we were atrocious against a mobile qb....no one kept their assignments....they were trying to "bust through" instead of filling lanes.

So ignore everything you see in Fall camp, base your decision off of last years performance

wow

Yes, you are clearly under control and make solid arguments.

If the kid is showing out in camp, I'm sure he will have his moments early and often. You are way underselling experience though. It is the same for running backs....if they can't grasp their assignments (i.e., protect the qb) and keep missing the assignment, it doesn't matter how talented they are, they won't see much of the field. Not saying this kid is that, but experience matters a lot. Again, if he is that good, and knows and performs his assignments, he will see lots of time. Calm down, it doesn't matter who starts.

Yes, I clearly gave you much more prolific stats than how the other performed.

I know how the TR is. After I looked at 10 minutes in to see the comments, what people thought, I was like nope. I'm doubling down telling these people the truth. Keys is better.

Quality morning melt. Hope you feel better and can go about your day now that you got that off your chest.

I have mentioned recgnition speed vs foot speed in past post. Yes Keys may have more speed than West Weeks but I would bet you Weeks has better recognition speed over Keys. However I would also bet you Keys will be in the game more on 2nd and 3rd and long plays. BTW pussy only a real pussy coach would listen to a fan instead of his own and his position coaches opinions about who should and who shouldn't start.

Doesn't matter who starts. Multiple LBs will play significant roles this year.

You are getting downvoted because you are wrong. CBK has a history of starting freshmen., yet you say he won’t start a sophomore because he likes experience. Sorry, man, but that’s a bad take. CBK has started two freshmen tackles on the oline, and he played freshmen at LB A LO, including Whit Weeks, Perkins, and Davhon Keys.

I don't care if he was supporting me or not. It was great. It needed to be known

You suffering from ODS? Seems the “off-season derangement syndrome” has crippled some poster’s judgement.

Season needs to get here quick.
