So Jake Pickard is now listed as probable

[PAcuse]

Out of the box here but is there any chance he could be moved to LB?

Why we are stacked at LB. I think he will be just fine at DE once he is fully healthy and gets some reps.

Yes that's true this year but next year is quite open other than Armstrong.

What have been his physical problems?

 

[MSOrange]

Who cares, he is as soft as Gronk and the younger guys have already passed him by. Too slow , and not strong enough for DE. Should have stayed at the TE position.

He redshirted and has then only played one full season. I'm not going to give up on him quite yet. Donnie Simmons didn't do much until his senior year, but he made it count then.

I'm 100% fine with that list for next years LB group, moving a kid that's not played LB doesn't help.

Good point as am I. I'm just trying to get Jake some snaps due to his body type and past TE experience.

Agreed I want to see Jake play. I hope he stays injury free and gets a lot of snaps in the future.

Slightly off topic: I learned today that the mumps "situation" that ended the men's and women's fall lacrosse schedule has hit a couple members of the FB team. I'm wondering if Coleman is one of them?

SAM - Richards
MIKE - Armstrong
WILL - Dada Fagan

No doubt will be a drop off because of the experience (and Zaire and Paris are phenomenal players), but in 2 - 3 years the potential is there for these guys to be even better. Size and athleticism will improve.
