As a group, agreed.Best group of young linebackers since ‘93.
I think he's wrong. It's a young group. It's not all on the LB's that we can't stop the run. Our defense relies heavily on the safeties to help out there, and we lost our AA along with some others there. Did the dline do their part?Is he wrong really though?

I believe that was also the year we switched from a 3-4 to a 4-3. We moved guys that were good sized LBs to DE and Safeties to LB in an attempt to increase our speed on defense. Didn't Nate Hemsley play at like 195 lbs that year?The exact quote was best group of young linebackers since 1993.
For context, here's the history lesson. Heavy LB graduation losses after 92, and an early season ending injury for Dan Conley in 93. A bunch of true freshmen and redshirt freshmen were pressed into duty. That team couldn't stop the run, at all.
By 95, the same kids were part of a D that went 8-3 and shut out Clemson in the Gator Bowl.
Will this group develop in a similar fashion? I don't know, but hope so. Will be a good litmus test on how the staff is at developing their recruits.
I think he’s wrong too, as it just doesn’t look good when a parent or someone close to the program is calling out his son’s teammates in a public forum. It’s just not a good look. And that goes for the Facebook messages too that are referenced about Tommy. Dino preaches Ohana. Well, Posts like those don’t make it feel that way when it comes from someone close to the program. Just my two cents.I think he's wrong. It's a young group. It's not all on the LB's that we can't stop the run.

That '93 group was young and small too. I think that was the year WVU set a record for rushing yards in the Dome with about 440 yards and they never punted. Fast forward to '95 and that group grew up and became a strength. I expect this group to mature similarly.

Blocking, Tackling, Running, Throwing, Catching.Definitely like the potential with this unit but they are very young and tackled like crap yesterday. If we had recruited better most likely shouldn't be playing as redshirt Freshman and Freshman.
Couldn't stop the run in 4 of 4 games this year.The defense is way better than the offense even if the LBers "can't stop the run."
Dead last in offensive YPP
40/76 in defensive YPP
Glass houses and stones.
I would throw stones tooThe defense is way better than the offense even if the LBers "can't stop the run."

Yeah I agree as I see them not coming forward enough. Too much sitting back.Huh ? In the 3 3 5 it’s there job to stop the run

They are young and talented hopefully they will adjjust problem is if we fix the run does it open the pass ?Yeah I agree as I see them not coming forward enough. Too much sitting back.
I don't think the rushing numbers are fixed this year. Those guys need to grow physically and mentally. I think we're trading rushing for situational pressure and turnovers, which we have been able to get consistently. Had the offense been able to take advantage of its opportunities, especially the short field, we likely have 2 more wins and this is much less of a discussion. That's not even counting how much longer the defense has been on the field due to the offense's inability to sustain drives, inflating the defensive numbers even more.They are young and talented hopefully they will adjjust problem is if we fix the run does it open the pass ?
I hope the LBs are not worried too much about doing 3 of those 5. If they are, we're wasting valuable practice time on skills they don't need.Blocking, Tackling, Running, Throwing, Catching.
We can do only maybe 2 of the above 5, that's not a good thing.
Honestly, I don't think he should post on here either but it is above my pay grade.Not sure why he's allowed to post these things and not many say anything about it. I have voiced my opinion on it before as well but it seems to be ok as far as mods etc.are concerned.
