Que Robinson is out for the season. Keanu Koht has not had a major impact and seems to be in the doghouse now. Won't be playing this week and may not be playing in the near future either. This leaves Qua Russaw and Yhonzae Pierre. Neither have had a big impact this year.

Campbell is our second leading pass rusher by sacks. Could the staff move him to the edge role and playing Lawson and Jefferson as ILBs? That seems like it should be a consideration if Russaw and Pierre don't have the production.

To be fair, Russaw won the starting job coming out of camp, but he got injured early on.

We have young guys who should get some meaningful snaps this weekend.

We've done that a few times this season.

Russaw looked damn good before getting injured. Pierre is supposed to be a dude, but we'll see.

Pierre looks like he got that dawg in him. Isn’t he Courtney Upshaw’s cousin?

In the reps he got against LSU, I thought he showed some good power/held his own when going up against some pretty damn good OTs that will both be high draft picks. I suspect he’ll become a force on the edge with more live action reps. That said, he and Russaw need to do a better job of setting the edge.

Campbell will probably shift outside with Jefferson filling in inside. To be fair, Russaw has been knicked up a good bit so I don’t think it’s fair or accurate to say he’s not effective. When healthy, he’s good.

I think Pierre will get more snaps with Robinson out.

I think J.Alexander could see some PT in the coming games.
