There have only been three true offball inside LBs taken in the top 10 of the draft in the past decade.

2018: #8 Roquan Smith
2012: #9 Luke Kuechly
2010: #8 Rolando McClain


I think Devin could be the first top 5 pick at M/ILB since AJ Hawk in 2006.


Great Tiger and can’t wait to see how he wrecks the SEC this year

Leader. They should be having a meeting.

McMillan - Transfer
Narcisse - Transfer
Ingram - Suspended
Davis - Suspended
Taylor - Suspended
Fulton - Denied Appeal

Crazy $hit going on in Tigerland. Better right the ship before 9/2 or it could be a long night. White and the team obviously see the concentration is not where it needs to be.

specifics of the meeting, as it was a private team matter, but they all admitted there were tensions. "We got a lot of things going on that we don't agree with," Battle said, "but a lot of things have taken place, so we were just making sure guys stay on track,


Players only meeting before the season even starts. LULZ. Buckle up for the greatest shitShow On earth.

I have to agree with this. What the hell is going on? A players only meeting weeks before the start of the season? What happens when the real bullets start flying? Maybe we need to bring in a "life coach" and tell everyone how happy they should be.

A team meeting before the season is not a good sign. Already in disarray, how can we expect to field a team that's expected to play its best. If Coach O is fired it will be because of his inability to manage the team, not so much W's and L's. Last year it was Canada, this year it's a QB controversy. What else? What else?

This young man continues to impress. His leadership and talent are unparalleled. They lost two of their brothers last week, so it’s understandable for the team to be upset. But for White to command the floor speaks bounds about him and his leadership. I sure as hell hope he continues to be dominant on and off the field.
agree

I'm sure some guys hated to see their buddies transfer, probably even felt like they weren't given a fair shake and that Burrow stepped on their toes. It is what it is.

I'm glad they met it head on, though, instead of letting it be the elephant in the room. I'm sure some will still be bitter, even after the meeting, but I'm sure the attitudes are a lot better overall.

I'd rather them meet before the season as a proactive, precautionary, and unifying meeting, instead of having to meet in reaction to poor performance that stemmed from divide.

They need to fly in Jarvis Landry to speak to the team next week. Let him give the “step the frick up speech” to get everyone fired up.

I have a feeling that those not the two guys they were concerned about. You do realize that the two black guys who played quarterback left, leaving only white guys on scholarship there. I would expect that some of the players may have questioned whether there was more to the coach's playing choices than just ability. In that case, a player meeting is a good idea. At least address some of those doubts and get everyone on the "team" concept again.

Sorry, didn't see Drock88's post above until after I ran my mouth.
