You said Heacock was retiring after last year. I do not trust your info!Bacon and Maclaughlin are done for the year.

Perhaps a small stretch, but not super big if you've been listening to the CF staff talk about him this offseason. CW is convinced he'll be a draft pick.Caleb is good, but first team all Big 12 linebacker is a pretty big stretch.

It’s also entirely possible he is a draft pick(I think he will be) but not first team all big 12.Perhaps a small stretch, but not super big if you've been listening to the CF staff talk about him this offseason. CW is convinced he'll be a draft pick.

That’s is rose-colored glasses though. He did not look like a draft pick to me at all last year. He really struggled at times, especially in coverage. But still a big loss this year.Perhaps a small stretch, but not super big if you've been listening to the CF staff talk about him this offseason. CW is convinced he'll be a draft pick.
There was a Rhoads season where it seemed like we lost 3/5 of our OL between fall camp and in game 1. Other than that though, yeah this has been a bad injury startI hope we get some decent news on some of the other many injuries. I don't know if I've ever felt this deflated about injuries after fall/week 1. We are beat up...
He had apparently put a lot of work in this offseason on his body and game. CW predicted he would lead the team in sacks. I don't think it's a stretch to assume he may have been the 4th down lineman as an edge rusher we have all heard so much smoke about.That’s is rose-colored glasses though.

They also said Darien Porter would be in the NFL. And I love that guy, but I don’t see NFL there either.
He's a redshirt jr. He's not that young.When has Chris not overhyped something?
Caleb is good, but still young.

Mike Rose didn't get drafted (big 12 DPOY). So, that means he must be better than Rose. He's aggressive, but not better than Mike.That’s is rose-colored glasses though.

I’m pretty sure Mike didn’t get drafted because of his history of injuries.Mike Rose didn't get drafted (big 12 DPOY). So, that means he must be better than Rose. He's aggressive, but not better than Mike.

IIRC Bacon was one of the highest if not the highest rated LBs in the B12 per PFF last year. He's a really good LB.Klein had a fantastic NFL career and off of that, I thought Rose (B12 DPOY) would make a roster. Hasn’t happened. Bacon has the physical size & I suppose lateral speed but per usual, he’s been hyped by the media and the fans per usual have eaten it up. Has he ever started a game? I thought he was a back up who saw the field on a limited basis but came on mid season last year and had some TFL’s and sacks. Hope he is just dinged and comes back for the B12 in full health and gets a chance to show his skills. If we lose to Iowa, it will be because we can’t move the ball and out score them.
Watch a game and form yoir own opinions. You don’t have to take what you hear on a podcast as gospel. Many of us can see he is a serviceable Big 12 LB but he doesn’t scream NFL to me. Think about the linebackers we have had that didn’t get draft or can barely hang on in the league.
Mike Rose, Marcell Spears, Jeremiah George, Jake Knott, the list goes on……all were better than Bacon imo.
