Will - Kwon
Mike - Welter
Sam - Louis

It will be a rotation though. I'd expect Beckwith and Debo to see their fare share of time. Debo seems like a good fit on the weak-side, and Kwon can slide over to the Sam spot (he played it last season). For me, Beckwith's the wildcard at LB. Really hoping he can grow into that MLB position.

On a side note Welter looks good. He put on some weight and looks more like an SEC LB this year


Dude was already super slow. With more weight, instead of seeing 31 get to the tackle .5 seconds late for 90% of the plays, he'll get there .7 seconds late.

But, he calls a great game...is a great young man, and looks good in a uni

Doubt it. Duke may need to transfer soon before it's too late. Sad to say it.

Duke gets nice PT this year. Bookmark it.

Transfer? He starts on Special Teams as a frosh and you think he should transfer? Son please.

On special teams, yes most def. And will be 1 of our better special teams player. Which is huge and very important.

But he's still near the bottom of the depth chart for LB. Welter, Kwon, LL, Beckwith, Debo, Feist, and CG are all ahead of him. That leaves Riley and Donnie Alexander.

Barring injury, I don't think Riley gets a lot of meaningful PT outside of special teams. But in a year or 2, it will be different. I really like the athleticism he brings to the LB spot.

As well you should...

1. I don't leave at halftime (even shitty games)
2. Always cheer loudly
3. always support the team
4 dish out for the big away games
5. stand while cheering but if asked to sit, I will as long as I can still see
6. don't refer to every player on here by their initials attacked to their number.

..and I still make time to troll the idiots on this board from time to time and make things interesting.

So obviously you'd know that typically defensive ends and OLB are responsible for edge contain
Exactly. MLB is more heavily relied-upon for stuffing runs between the tackles. A back-up to the DTs of sorts.

Meh some people just hate welter. Morons on this board don't understand weighing more in muscle makes you faster.

Again mine does.. He was defensive P.O.Y. for a 12 y.o. he knows his shite when it comes to FB.
More than most of my friends which can be quite hilarious

This. Hopefully a few times this year I will get to see the best LBs playing together. Debo, Beckwith, and Kwon. That crew would be fast as ....
