Very relevant video

 

he makes a good description of some of the pressures and risks going on right now but something I thought at several times thru his talk was how well our staff has addressed our needs with what’s available right now.

Sure would love to have him, but wasn’t his issue a medical issue like DGF?

The account said that there was a lot of speculation happening that Ross may jump into the portal and that Alabama and Auburn could be viable landing spots for him.

If you're a linebacker on this team, you kind of have to be offended at this point.

It's a 4 LB system. We had Overshown, Gbenda, and if you squint hard, Jones with not much else that is proven. With the way Orlando recruited that room, we had huge gaps in classes between the guys and zero edge rushers. We basically needed a quality 2 deep. We have taken 4 to 5 linebackers including 2 senior guys expected to play a ton next year and a few guys with multiple years left to play. If those other guys didn't impress during the spring, then I don't really feel bad. They all had a shot. Brockermeyer seems to be the only guy to have seized the moment and he is a walk-on who should never see meaningful snaps in theory. It is nothing more than good roster management.

Assuming the Palaie transfer goes through - he'll be the first off-ball LB we've picked up in the portal, right?

So looking at something like 
 

Thornton-Ojomo-Coburn -Davis/Jones

Overshown-Gaoteote

Jamison-Adimora-Foster-Thompson-Thompson

 

with Gbenda/Richardson rotating at ILB, Jones or Davis at OLB, Broughton/Collins rotating at DL and Dunn/Crawford/Schooler/Cook at DB

Expand  

Dorbah could factor in as well.

I would replace Broughton with Sweat.

Why bring it up again if you are too much of a fucking coward to name names? Full on bitchassness.

You're right, our depth is sooo good that our coaching staff feels the need to go after just about every LB that hits the portal worth a shit. :)

 

Perhaps you should look at the depth overall instead of focusing on individuals, it will paint the picture better for you.

It’s better to divide it up as edge and ILB since they’re completely different positions. We’ve taken 3 edge transfers (Thornton, Davis, Ovie) and it seems like we’re done there.
 

We’ve taken 1 ILB transfer so far (Richardson) while reportedly showing interest in 3 others (PG, Banks, and the LB down south TFB has been talking about). So taking around 3 transfers for both positions where 2 guys start is quite a bit. I’m a little surprised they’re looking at so many transfers at ILB, but we’ll have to see how many they actually take and where they slot them.

 PK mixes up formations a good bit so we probably won’t have a static starting 11, and I expect him to shift to a good bit of 3 down DL in conference play. I think right now it looks something like: 

J: Thornton, Dorbah/Ovie

IDL1: Coburn, Sweat

IDL2: Collins/Ojomo, Broughton

X: Jones, Davis

W: Gbenda, PG

M: Overshown, Ford/Richardson/Cooks(these guys have flexibility between both ILB spots). 
 

CB: Jamison, Crawford, Barron

NB: Adimora, Cook

S: Foster/Schooler

S: Thompson

CB: Thompson, Dunn

Richardson

Expand  

Take it FWIW, but last week one of the IT mods mentioned that Richardson may ultimately end up at an edge position as well.
