His speed isn't an actual issue but there's something about him that is going to make some folks question his athleticism... same thing that will make some assume he's a gym rat, high iq, fundamentally sound high motor player...

The truth is he and Wax both consistently got washed because our d line play was dogshit. We had 2 lbers trying to fill 3 gaps laterally vs down hill and the 2 they chose always had a free blocker to meet them and rb always had cut back lane.

When our DL set the point of attack by fighting against pressure and or DEs set edges vs getting caught 5 yards in the backfield all will be fine with our LB play and our pursuit angles. Good news is we have plenty of physically capable players so coaches don't have to continue to play those that don't have their mentality correct.

Same goes for DBs... I don't expect flat footed, tentative tackling to continue or guys won't play including Barron who I expect to bounce back hard from an absolute stinker and set the tone.

Good news is film from the Ohio game will be imperative to coaches hammering home means of improvement to players capable of acting upon said intel.
