With yestedays injury to Tau'fo'ou, Klein has made the move to MLB(a better fit IMO). This opens up the SAM spot, which Rhoads said will be filled by an open competition. So who wins it? Give opinions with some justification guys. I am going with George. I hate to see a redshirt go, but I believe he is better than Morton and Kaufman, and already has better size than a safety convert like Washington. The new motto can be "Next year's LB core, today!". What do you think?
Why didnt George go in as soon as Matt T went down? Did CPR ever say anything about it after the game?
No.Quote:

FYI, the redshirt on George is already off, he played on special teams yesterday-extra point defense unit! Must not be ready to get snaps at LB yet.

Alright, I wil update my pick and go way outside the box and say that Grant Stonerook gets a boost of energy from his athletic lineage and becomes our next Jesse Smith success story. He already has great size, and he looks like Jake Knott. That should help, right?
On a side note, why did Kevin Hamlin get no bigger during his reshirt year? He is still listed at under 200 pounds. Is his frame so narrow that he can't carry the weight?
participation report says Jeremiah George played, saw #7 on TV on that unit, sure didn't look like Reynolds.Quote:

What about Lattimer? Didn't he switch to the D-Line during Fall camp?
