au_weagle 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 The latest article on Eltory states that he has been moved back to OLB to back up Stevens after being moved to MLB in the spring. What significance does this have though? Here's my theory. Jessel Curry has been stellar since he got on campus, and was pushing for the backup linebacker job. Since he will be here for so long, they decided to give him the time there. With Curry filling in there Freeman can backup Bynes, and may even push Jonathan Evans for the starting spot. The 6th position in the 2 deep belongs to Darren Bates, the utility man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFightingSoldiers 699 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Don't forget about Jake Holland either. He knows how to step up and plug a hole (no homo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyMtnTiger 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Don't forget Darren Bates will be playing a lot if not starting. Also, Toro will be playing in a more comfortable position allowing him to wreak havoc on our opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdgen 2 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 It means we are going actually have a two deep at lb this year and fresh legs will pay dividends all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Growlin 0 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Roof wants the lbs to learn more than one position. In two words to describe the move. Experienced depth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickys Rants 0 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Incoming freshmen contributing at LB will be the BIGGEST difference maker in our defense this season! Going from 3 deep to 6 deep will be HUGE, and will allow Coach Roof to run different schemes (including blitzes) once the freshmen adjust to the speed of the game! DWWD!

I don't think any of the freshmen will start, but they will get meaningful playing time, which will rest the starters and keep 'fresh legs' on the field! WDE!

JwgreDeux 1,279 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Bates will start and Curry is too small to play middle lb, I'm not sure what the move means for Eltoro other than Roof trying to find the best place for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUrealestate 0 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 If the Bull can learn his assignments and just play football he will be one of the best we have ever had. He can flat out lay the lumber. Coach Roof loves to play take away football and get a lot of turnovers. Eltoro fits this perfectly, if he plays within the defensive system.

guerra aguila 0 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I think they are all going to play. Freeman may start one game while Evans starts another... depending on what type of offenses we are facing. I honestly dont think you can go wrong with any of the top 6 guys... thats the beauty of having depth. They will rotate throughout the game and stay fresh. Sure the starting unit will see more action in the first half, but as the game wears on, we will need them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunn1 0 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 according to an interview with Chizik the other night, the only one of the Freshman LB's working exclusively at MLB is Jake Holland, all the others are primarily working at the "Will" and "Sam" spots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerritorialTigers 0 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 It means we have added depth and experience to the LB corp. Our defense we'll be ready for battle this year!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
