He is thin but hits hard.

I don't see crazy athleticism off the ball but he has nice closing speed to the qb.

I guess they are going to try to play him off the ball at lsu. Will Def be a little of a learning curve.

Maybe because he isn’t playing off the ball in any of those clips?

Don't know why you were down voted for speaking the truth. He's not an off the ball LB and trying to fit him there would be a mistake. He's an edge rusher. No reason he cant add the bulk to be a situational pass rusher at least. Seems the staff has come around on the true LB stance but they managed to scheme our best rusher away from rushing the passer this season so who knows.

Uses his hands very well. Most kids at this level rely on speed or size.

Because what he said made no sense?

Every clip was him rushing the passer. Why would you even comment about off the hall lol. Guy is a Jack LB.

And made him a lot of money in the process.

Kid is a football player, but I have no idea what the new DC is going to run or how he would fit in.

I don't know why some LSU fans don't understand why Perkins was not used exactly the same way as last season...not rocket science to understand why. First, with a bunch of green cover guys who have talent but no college experience, he was needed to help out there. Second, offensive coordinators aren't stupid. After last season, they were going to make sure that they had enough blockers and knew where Perkins was on every play. As I've said, Perkins has two weaknesses which sort of go together. He can't bull rush over a blocker and by the same token is not the strongest tackler...needs to become more physical of a player.

Don't group me in with others, but I see a player that is good as a LBer but elite as a pass rusher. So I want to see him rushing the backfield more often than we did this year. Make the other team deal with it. The fact that OCs prep for good defenders doesn't mean we should keep a player from doing what they are good at.

I agree with your argument that our DBs needed help, but think we went too far with doing that. Our DBs needed a better pass rush in the worst way!

As I've said, I consider Cobbins a 5* college prospect (can't rate him as pro prospect because unlike the recruiting service I don't pretend to know more than NFL GMs). However, as with ALL highlights we don't know the HS competition on the video. But speed is speed, strength is strength, desire is desire, etc. I will say he seem to run through blockers better than say Harold Perkins JR does. I do disagree some with your comment about just do what you want to do and not worry about how the opponent adjusts to it (i.e. just rush Perkins for example even if he is going to be chip blocked, etc).

Another reason Perkins would have trouble rushing the passer this season was that other than Swinson, I saw no help doing that. I believe we all agree that Smith was a shadow of his TR FR self due to the 2022 ACL. Wingo obviously was struggling with his upper body injury...bad enough that he needed surgery. So there was no push up the middle unless Jefferson was in there...and Kelly/House started using him more. S Jones has been a huge disappointment to me, so that basically left Swinson as the main pass rusher. Without other players to worry about, the opponents could have made sure the main threat Perkins wasn't going to beat them. Even Perkins needs another threat out there.

Think he means coming off the snap of the ball.
