L. David

I hope Lavonte can get up to around 220-230 over the offseason, without losing a step in his quickness. He is so damn fun to watch, sad to see him leave after next season.

I couldn't care less how much he weighs. He covers more field than anyone I have ever seen. He also is able to blanket cover TE's and hangs with the slots. Urlacher played strong safety in college. There were a ton of questions about his size and ability to play LB when he came out. He's now a beast. David is going to be playing football for a while.

Terrell Farley or LaVonte David?

Actually Urlacher played kind of like a hybrid linebacker in college, and adding weight to Lavonte's frame wouldnt hurt him, but I can see where you are coming from.

If we will be facing more downhill running teams next year and use a standard 4-3, I too, would like to see Lavonte add 20 or so lbs if he can retain his speed, and make him a Will. If he does not add weight, will he be moved to a hybrid position like Hagg or Gomes plays?

i agree, i think the D we use now (peso) may not be worth a damn next season in the Big 10.

 

[UM-HUSKER]

The big 10 has the reputation for being a downhill running confrence, but only a couple teams acually do it. I would say Wisconsin, MSU and maybe Iowa are the more downhill teams, but everyone else runs a spread version of sorts.

I think the peso will work just fine in the Big 10.

I'm not sure if anyone posted that OWH article on David a few days ago but there was a pretty good line. It saud that Coach Pelini may hold a doctorate in defense but David is a savant. It is a blessing he was able to pick up the D as fast as he did.
