Making contact is the bigger problem IMO. Welter and Barrow are constantly out-of-play.


I think we are both right! It is not being strong/big enough to bring down the ball carrier AND being out of the play. No surprise, it is the same reason...not being strong enough. If you watch guys like Barrow, they are actually in the proximity of the play but he lacks one essential asset to a LBer. Barrow is horrible as disengaging from a block. The guy puts hands on him which is legal within the shoulders area, and he simply can't break free. If you can't disengage, forget about stopping the run as a LBer. As you stated, you are always going to be 3 feet away from the ball carrier.
