Starting LB's next year?


Jan 15, 2019, 9:28 AM

I can see Shaq Smith taking over for Joseph, he looks like he's really come on strong lately and should give more speed and size to the position. But who takes over for Lamar? Skalski, Chad Smith, maybe Mike Jones Jr. impresses enough?

I'm thinking Chad and Shaq.

Wrong bored.

They redshirted Skalski I think because they thought Lamar

would head to NFL so he would be my first guess to replace Tre. MJ Jr will also get a look but is he big enough for MLB? Not saying he isn't just a innocent question. Maybe one of the new guys will be ready to step in for some depth.

Why Shaq Smith though? It doesn't seem like he has come around yet. That would be great if he did though.

Because he started to get more and more playing time this year behind Joseph and made a few impactful plays. Coach V has already said he's starting to come along nicely, I expect him to be ready and get all the first team reps this off season. We have plenty of LB's this year tho, so it'll be an interesting battle to see how the depth chart plays out.

I would love to see that. I am pulling for him.

Skalski will start at either MIKE or Will, probably MIKE. Isaiah Simmons will start at SAM. I don't know who will start at Will. I'd like to see Shaq Smith develop but hes STILL learning. Not quite there yet. And idk why people keep saying Chad Smith. Pretty sure he was a graduate this season. I am really impressed with Vonta Bentley's film from high school. He might play a lot. We also have Baylon Spector and Venable's son who both got some PT this year. Gonna be interesting with the LB's this season.

Chad Smith was listed as a RS Jr.

according to depth charts Chad Smith was redshirt junior this season

I'm guessing Skalski, Smith, and Smith have a similar rotation to what we saw with Lamar, Joseph, and Davis this season.

I think those 3 guys got a lot more snaps than the rest of the group. I expect something similar this year. I expect the rotation is wide open behind those guys.

I also think it has been said that Mike Jones Jr. is in line to play the Nickel/Sam spot behind Simmons. I expect him to be the backup there and fill Jalen Williams position.

I think anything else would be a surprise based on somebody doing something that we haven't seen on the field yet.

Don't forget there is a Veneables on this team that ain't named Brent but was and is coached by him. This guy looked really good at Daniel.
