Its a MLB and WLB. The MLB is ideally a pure thumper...will trade mobility for size in that spot. The WLB can be moved around and used to provide pass rushing, although he needs to be a strong run defender as well. Neither LB spot is asked to do a whole lot of extensive pass coverage (unlike the Tampa/Cover 2).

Jake Holland was easily better in pass coverage than in run support man so he doesn't have a chance.

And by better in pass coverage I mean it was like the difference between riding a bike with no legs and painting a picture with no hands. So not too much

Tomorrow, Ben Bradley and soon to follow Toby Johnson.


dawg fans think Johnson is in the bag, so there would be an epic meltdown, if he goes with AU.

Yep, they are pointing to this.

Sounds good for them, but it doesn't mean they got him in the bag. Bradley picking AU could change the game.

With us going with the 4-2-5, and having a designated SPUR position for a hybrid player, where does every see McKinzy and Foster being placed? Let's just assume Reuben Foster eventually signs with Auburn...

OLB - McKinzy
MLB - Foster
SPUR - Brandon King

Where does everyone see Kris Frost fitting in?


What I hope happens is
OLB - Frost / Garrett
MLB - McKinzy / Foster
SPUR - King / Florence (I think considering how physical he is he could play this)

My honest way too early and probably not accurate prediction is
OLB - Garrett / Frost
MLB - Holland / McKinzy or Foster
SPUR - King / Mitchell

I just think with Holland being a senior and the fact he won't have to a as big of a pass defender means he will get the nod. I really want to see Frost/McKinzy/Foster all play a ton next season. Athletically they match up with any LB core in the country and it is about time we start playing these highly rated kids

Somebody update us old folks about what Bradley decides. I hate Twitter almost as much as Alabama and Notre Dame.

So I looked at the twitter (I hate twitter) and it said he was deciding today. No information about the time or that he was announcing via twitter. Where did that info come from?
