I definitely agree that Whitner was too small, but he wasn't slow -- and just to provide a data point re: his performance this season, he finished with 100 tackles.  He was pretty good, not the liability some believe.

Agree 100% about the 4-2-5.  I think it was predicated upon the belief that Cordy might have more of an impact.  Glad our coaches tweaked things -- wonder if not working Shy in sooner cost us the Clemson / Pitt games.

Whereas entering this year LB was totally riddled with question marks, this spring we start with a reasonably experienced trio of Shy, Richards, and Armstrong [who actually played well on 3rd downs].  Glad that Jones / Kopanga are enrolling in January.  And with Wallace, Williams [who excelled on ST], and Allison also in the mix, we've got a lot better raw materials / experience than we did heading into last year.  That's exactly how it should be -- three established guys start spring ball atop the depth chart, with the others challenging to take their starting spots.

I'm pretty confident LB is going to be a position of strength next year, with much better depth than this year.
