When Wax returns

[FrancoPizza]

I hope they stick with Barron at LB. Wax and Barron (over McDonald) would really help the overall athleticism at that position.

You know I thought the same thing. Barron should be playing downhill at LB. Grant has been excellent at Safety.

 

[Newhouser]

Barron is the best LB on the team. Wax included.

100% agree

 

[phil77]

Yes I agree Barron and Wax should be our 2 middle of the field linebackers going forward on every down

He has kicked ass.

McDonald leads the team in tackles and had a strip tackle earlier in the game. Yup I get he isn’t the fastest but again the coaches clearly view him as a positive on the field.

He’s a valuable piece and belongs at this level. It’s no slight against him but Wax and Barron are faster. We need our LBs playing sideline to sideline. Not necessarily Derek’s strength

I can see Wax and Barron at LB and Mcdonald playing some edge.

In a 4 down set. That’s the way I’d go.

Watching the end of Ole Miss and LSU they’re both rushing 4, I don’t know what the deal is with EC rushing only 3 all the time. We’re just not built for it.

I was pissed first gamebut he has come on amazingly. Baron is a stud at linebacker.

I like McDonald, but I like Barron a little better.

A linebacker leads almost every team in tackles, and we only play with two, and one has been hurt most of the year, so he is the leader in tackles, almost by default. I think he simultaneously leads this team in both tackles and missed tackles.

Also, if we use him as a rush end, there will be those that are saying, “why is he there and not KingJoseph?“. Both would be fine there.

i’m not sure what Fran is going to do when wax comes back.

I’m not sold on grants ability to play pass first from his position. He seems to want to play downhill all the time just like Barron, so I probably would be opposed to Baron taking Grants spot.

McDonald probably plays his share but not as much as he’s been playing.

Wax comes back after the bye week. Book it.

Grant wasn’t excellent today. He was very bad except for the strip sack.
