I've discussed him for weeks.
I'll say this to the point...if it stings oh well...
When playing honest he plays like a coward.
He ALWAYS allows the blocker to engage him 3-5 yards downfield.
In other words he's conceding a 3-5 yard gain at least.
Golden finally recognized this which is why he's now blitzing him a lot.
Sometimes players if you give them a running start will run right into a blocker.
Have them play honestly and they catch the blocker allowing the blocker to engage them.
#44 should be playing in front of Marist getting valuable experience because #44 will run into that brick wall.

Marist should not be on the field. Him playing is an indictment on coaching staff. He flat out is bad. Kollie or junior or anybody should play. There was a lot of talk last year before Marist got injured about how good he was. No. No. No. very bad. And his lack of disruption affects the other lbs
God damn, it must be a full moon! Because you guys are in rare effin' form.
But please, don't stop. Keep it coming. Keep the manic ravings coming.....

He blitzes to be blocked every time. Now sometimes the goal of the stunt is for him to open a gap for Bertrand but every time they run that Bullets stunt I cringe because it rarely gets home. I feel like he kinda plays wild man football.
Also, Bothelo showed us last night why he probably plays very little. On that big stuff on kick off he got away with what should have been a personal foul. As he was getting up he pushed the runners head into the ground. It was intentional. I think he will transfer after this season.
Our scheme is alarming both sides. How many times do we blitz 2 lbs and they have 2 olinmen picking them up. Pathetic
Under Lea, Marist was always against a rb when blitzing and destroyed them. Big reason why we dominated Howell

Have to agree. He shies from contact in the box. And his performance on blitzing is not enough to warrant his playing time
Marist came in as the 450th+ overall player in his class (composite 3 star) flashed some potential pre-injury and doesn't seem to be the same player. He's producing slightly above average from what you would expect from a composite 3 star player.
That’s a fair point, I think we might have overrated him before this season based on one game 2 years ago.
That's just it...
A lot of people don't understand how to properly play the position of LB.
Him allowing the blocker to engage him 3-5 downfield means the other LB's and or saftey automatically can't make that tackle without at least a 4-5 yard gain. They get caught in the trash and conceding a 4 yard gain...at least...all the damn time.
Linebacker played properly...particularly inside backer (and full back) is NOT for the faint of heart.
Headaches are not optional.
Couldn't agree more!! Have you ever seen him shed a blocker and make a tackle? I have not! He's always getting blocked. Give #44 a chance.
Ski…I bought into all the coach talk about how he was going to be a monster disruptive weapon….strong, athletic, fast, aggressive, etc… he just needed to be healthy and play under control. We rarely see him play under control, but I can‘t name another player who gets blocked so completely on seemingly every play. It’s past time for the coaches to make some changes and get our future stars on The field.
At this point I'd just take him taking on the blocker at the LOS.
Instead we concede 3-5 yard rushing gains ALL THE DAMN TIME
#44 NEEDS to play...
And if Marist is a coaches pet
(which might be the case)..
Then run a 3-4 hybrid and have him rush tje QB off the edge every play because we aren't getting pressure on the QB as is...
Might as well stick him opposite Foskey who isn't doing shit this year either and rush the damn QB every down.
Him playing linebackers kills us and stunts the growth of #44 who will play the god damn position properly

I love how when these players get a leg injury somehow it hurts their courage of taking on the blocker.
Bullshit.
Devin Bush Jr. Of the Wolverine/Sreelers is another..
He just out athleted early on. Made mistakes but made up for it with athleticism.
Knee hurt...
Suddenly now he won't take on the lead blocker at the LOS?
NO
He NEVER did...
He was just athletic enough to disrupt other things.
Marist NEVER took blockers on properly.
