No inside Linebackers coach listed. Semore could take that on or another coach might be hired.

I beleive Semore was the LB coach when efford was takign the right steps to shut down run lanes so... wouldnt be a bad thing.
After the last year and a half of wrong first step efford, key will loose my respect if we play him and he still goes the wrong way.

1. I still blame scheme for last year
2. It was every LB
3. Efford may be like a pitcher that got left in too long and never recovers. Only way to know and get over it is to play him. Hoping for a quick hook if he's not back to normal.

Convert him to a rush end. He’s too slow for coverage.
He got washed out on plays an awful lot when he had to contend with OL. I hope I’m wrong but he seemed like a tweaner last season, not strong enough to shed big lineman and not fast enough to drop into coverage. I feel bad saying that so hope I’m wrong, it was just a bad scheme, and he has a great season this year.

All our linebackers were out of place last year. SO many stutters and bad reads.
My last post about a player i really like and hope has a great 26.

Watch nfl playoffs or last 4 cfp games and u see LB and safeties move after their feet IMMEDIATELY SLIDE towards thier goal on the play. THEN THIER LEG CROSSED TO HASE OR CLOSE. THEY LOOK LIKE SHORT STOPS

WE STOOD IN ONE PLACE THEN USED LEGS TO START CHASING.

what the H is a "quality control" and what does he do? Based on last yr we have not any problem controlling the quality of any of the DEF

Losing Executive Director of Recruiting to Alabama.

That got posted in another thread earlier.

On the minus side, we are apparently losing a capable person

On the plus side, we have good people, and that’s validated when factories want to poach them. We had long posts here about how badly we were recruiting and doing in the portal, but Alabama seems to disagree.

We’re either finding and hiring good people, or developing them, or both. Hopefully that continues
