and if jalen collins can get benched why cant welter?
my suspicion is that welter seems to consistently be getting guys lined up in the right spots, whether whos covering the flats, dlineman in the wrong gap, etc. My guess is that chavis has no faith whatsoever in the ability of lamar louis or beckwith handle that responsibility. much less faith in the other young guys to get their assignments right on their own. so he's trading off reducing the risk of busted assignments, which can lead to big plays, for a marginal downgrade in athleticism.

i just can't buy this. i think louis is starting to play more in nickel while welter will be out there in the base defense. if the 'lines everyone up properly' claim is true then thats about all he brings and lining them up sure isn't helping much.

my take on this, when you lack talent on D as we do and you're just getting gashed you really can't afford to have a role player out there who contributes nothing, actually he makes you worse. This is acceptable if he were half way decent, but he sucks and is hurting the team. He doesn't belong out there no matter how well he knows the defense. There are also other guys out there (Hi Loston!!) who shouldn't be out there anymore either, but for whatever reason still play>

As for the rest, when you're one of the top paid assistant coaches in college football you're going to get criticism when your unit is playing this bad, sorry. We knew going into this year our DL lacked a pass rush, schematically Chavis has done jack shite to account for this. I expected a D fall off but nothing this bad. It's also fair to question his scheme going forward with the new look offenses in our conference.

Beckwiths future is at de. Its obvious that's where the coaches want him. And I can't argue, they've made pretty good decisions on what position players should play.

Well except for trindon. Should have been playing de from day one.
