Is it safe to say Tahj Jones is the new starting LB?

dude has been a beast last 2 games. so now we have another Sophomore starting on the D. What's that now, 17 of our 22 on the 2-deep D are back next year? (Mo Claiborne, Ken Adams, Baker, Francois & Hatcher)

I have also noticed that they have been starting Hatcher on the first series of each game an then bring in Minter soon after. Why not just start Minter?

Tahj has looked pretty good the last few games. We need a linebacker to step up and ring a few bells!!!

Derrick Bryant should be included. Are you assuming that Mo is going out early? He's playing well but I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that he wouldn't improve his draft position by staying for his senior year.

He's currently listed by several as the #1 CB in the draft this year. Hard to improve on that. I hope he would stay, but you can't ask a guy to give that up.

FWIW I have heard Mo is leaning toward staying. I heard one of the local guys say it on the radio just not sure who it was.

I'm real happy to see him getting some serious playing time. Had the pleasure of knowing him when he played at Sulphur with one of my boys and is a great kid and a hard worker. Occasionally see him when he is in town and always is willing to shake a hand and say hi. He may be skinny but he will bring the wood. He's also had to work very hard in the classroom so to him and the rest of the team.
