swmohusker Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I hope one of the younger guys in the middle can replace Young as a starter. I would say weber, but would be nice to see some good depth bc those guys are going to be involved in some hits throughout the year. Quote Link to comment

Weber will start at one inside LB. Not sure if anyone can supplant Young. I'm not impressed by Young, there just has to be some of the underclass men that has to step up. Quote Link to comment

Thats why i would like the guy playing next to weber to be a more athletic play maker. Quote Link to comment

You could tell he couldn't move like he was earlier in the year. He is plenty athletic to play inside. Barry is probably the most athletic of the group but most consistent will play. Hope Barry keeps raising his game. Quote Link to comment

To get that kind of praise at a position with that much competition at this early stage seems pretty huge. Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Can't say enough positive things about Trent Bray. Guy is a flat out star. Think about how far our LB'ers have come in the past 2 years. Remarkable stuff. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Gifford was the #1 Field LB today. Alex Davis the #1 at Boundary. Weber and Young continue to man the middle. Quote Link to comment
HuskermanMike Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Gifford was the #1 Field LB today. Alex Davis the #1 at Boundary. Weber and Young continue to man the middle. So is Marcus Newby backing up Gifford? Or is he at the other OLB spot. Thought he made some strides toward the end of the season last year. Quote Link to comment

Davis has usually been the #1 at Boundary. Also, check back to Post #1 in this thread. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Gifford's length has to be an asset for him at OLB. Quote Link to comment

I am quite pleased with what I am hearing from this group, Diaco and Bray coaching em up can only help them too. Quote Link to comment
spurs1990 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Spring seems like the time of eternal optimism and growth by everyone. Hope they can validate all of this praise come Fall! Quote Link to comment

Hope they can validate all of this praise come Fall!The spring usually doesn't have the injuries that the fall has, so people are confident in the depth and think the unproven guys are World-beaters.

Remarkable stuff. nah bra, linebackers were a liability last year. Now the first year he did fine. Last year they were flat out beat numerous times in the flat and hook zone. Not sure what was up...but they straight up sucked in coverage last year. I like coach Bray, but he's not the second coming of anything. I'm looking for the LB's to make a major jump this year....specifically Mo Barry...I've been high on him since we got him as a recruit. What was up was we were running a scheme that kept the LBs in no-man's-land. 2 Quote Link to comment
