Actually we have arguably the most talented and deepest LB group in the SEC already. Smael definitely wouldn’t hurt though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we will rotate at least 4 of our LBs for those 2 spots this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steiner sounds like this athletic freak, Tisdol seemed to be a solid get, Pappoe is amazing, but we do lose a guy that could be a day 1 or 2 talent in Britt. Depending on what happens with this season, and the development that could come with that, we might need Smael as much as anybody (depending on if this season would even count as a year used, which would be a whole other argument) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,574 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 need is a strong word though, I'm just using it in the context of having two future NFL starters on the field at almost all times. Smael and Pappoe would definitely give you that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I feel like those two would be on the field during the times where we need a stop the most. This is becoming a series of conditionals, but I believe we need Smael if we would like to be close to the same bar this season sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pappoe is more than likely a 3 and done player so they’ll have 1 year together and I doubt Smael would be getting more significant snaps than Zakoby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they're comparable talents personally. If Smael grinds his way to say, the third linebacker on the depth chart coming into the first game, I think we could see a good bit of em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
