re: Last year a lot of you guys said our defense was better without Perkins

This board also said they were happy Cory Raymond left because he was washed up

It was the way they were forcing Perkins to play, and you have to let him spy and eat on passing downs. Also, He looked like he learned and watched more when he was injured, just looked like a different player; whether it’s just the right position or development.,, not good for other teams, they will have to account for him on every non-running gap play

It was better without him because they weren’t playing him in the right position. They were asking him to play the position that the Weeks brothers are now playing and he was getting run over and lost in the shuffle.

The rant can’t comprehend context. You are right. The defense was better without him because he was playing out of position and was loafing around half the time. They are now playing him in a role that suits him better and he’s a X factor again.

Perk is obviously better at star, but that's only be cause you have an all American beside him in Weeks.

It's the perfect combo

Way to be making shite up just to stir up the pot, nice cast on that bait

That’s a nice way of saying you are completely full of shite

Thank you for explaining it to the retards who have the memory of a goldfish

RAISES HAND

I don't deny it. He was no middle linebacker he got lost in pile of players. He needs to have space to roam and this year at the STAR position he has it.

That’s not a knock on Perkins, just that he’s too small to play inside.

Perkins is not too small, or too anything, to play ILB. He is 6’1” and 222 pounds. That’s as big as Kwon and Debo were in college. He’s just better being moved around. In today’s game that what makes a defense go - the ability of someone to be used as a swiss army knife. It could be a safety with corner skills, a DE with drop back coverage skills, or a ILB like Perkins who can cover like a DB.

If the scheme is to set Perkins at ILB and leave him there you are leaving a lot on the table, but he’s still good. The fact that Whit Weeks is better at that doesn’t change this. Whit Weeks is better than almost any college ILB.
