[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 231724, member: 639"] Any good defense starts with being able to hold point right there in the middle. This young man will be hard to move out of there. Building a wall is the basic fundamental. If he can make a lot of plays, that will be icing on the cake. You will be surprised how much better our LBs will look if there is a reliable traffic jam in the middle of the LOS every run play. I feel sure he will have good pad level and leverage. He looks like he can chase a little bit too. We will see. One thing from his film that is possibly less obvious to some, was how well he kept his eyes on the play (and reacted accordingly) while scuffling on the interior. That is something guys like Kallon (continues to struggle) and Gotsis (initially struggled) have had trouble with. You have to be able to battle the guy in front of you AND process the action at the same time. It is not that easy. I am optimistic, but I also recognize that he was physically dominant against the guys he was going up against in that film. What will happen when the sledding gets tougher is anybody's guess. There will be a lot more futility a this level. It can frustrate players who are used to having their way. As it is for most players who come to CFB, the ACC level of play will require growth on his part. How much he grows will determine his level of impact. Those kinds of things are really hard to predict. [/QUOTE]
