Martini is very good.I like Coney a lot. Why he is behind Martini is puzzling. I hope its not like a few years back when Morgan sat the bench behind the bum Joe Schmitt. Regardless, Morgan will lead the team in tackles.
I meant bum in the sense that he had no business starting inside LB at ND. And you are right it was the coaches fault for playing him to begin with. You left one player out.....Cam McDaniel.Ndfi Joe is hardly a bum! Poor choice of words. Should he have been a starter? No of course not, same as Rees, or Calabrese hell even D. Fox imo. Yet i take more issue with the staff as they are the ones who field the team.
Regardless of talent Kelly and his former staff recruited, and or were handed said players. Hardly a players fault for overachieving. Jmo.
Agree with respect to Cam and Fox. As for Morgan, I thought he had a very good year last season, considering the overall dysfunctional defense. He was constantly fighting off offensive linemen and having to make the tackle five yards beyond the line of scrimmage, and like every other player on defense, it was difficult to play instinctively in the BVG system, and like everyone else, his play improved every game removed from BVG. I expect Morgan to have a very good year, and I expect we'll see more tackles for a loss from him in the first three games than he had all last season.Cam McDaniel was a solid player, not sure why his name was mentioned. And Danny fox was a very good lb for ND. Of all the players that have played under Kelly, those two should not be mentioned as less than good players. As for who will lead the team in tackles? In the past, I've been critical of Morgan's play. He seems to lack instinct, imo. Watch every game and key in on Morgan, and he was out of the play way too often for a ILB/MLB. W/ that said, that position will get funneled a lot of tackles. He will probably lead the team but up until now, he's been a disappointment, imho. Last year I thought the light would turn on but aside from a couple games, I thought he was very average. I'm hoping his senior year he puts it all together and based on the s&c that transformed his body somewhat, that's a good possibility.

Linebackers each yearI may be wrong in this estimate, but haven't our leading tacklers (outside of teo / day / tuitt) been dbs? Indicating that our front 7 aren't shedding blocks and getting the tackles over the past few years?
I want to say nyles morgan, but given recent history, I think the running teams will give our safety's / cornerbacks more tackles than the guys up front.
Not try to be pessimistic, I just can't recall outside of Teo and the 2012 years when our leading tacklers were in the front 7?
Correct me if I'm wrong (probably am), and I'll eat crow.
Ask, and you shall receive.How the hell did I forget Jaylon.
I beg forgiveness, board.
Brain fart
Nyles Morgan with 120+ in a healthy season, followed by Drue Tranquill.
Morgan, D Hayes, Tranquill, Trumbetti in that order.
Bodi, you're right so far as you say, and also likely to be in the mix right up to the end of the season. I thought sharing snaps with Martini would take him out of the mix, and didn't think he'd play any time at Morgan's position. He's getting on the field a lot, and he hits like a ton. You're right that he reminds of the kind of "too short" linebackers the SEC grabs and who excel. I can praise Coney without disparaging Martini who has played two good games. Great linebacker group.What about Coney?
Tevon Coney is second in tackles behind Nyles Morgan 42 for Tevon and 44 for Morgan who has played twice as much as Nyles. Tevon wraps up when he tackles Nyles doesn't. Greer Martini is third in tackles with 39. Jerry Tillery has 3 sacks. Drue Tranquill has two forced fumbles. No one besides me had Tevon in their top five for tackles. Tevon is quick as hell ! Why no love? Is it because he smoked weed? Ballis and Elko have had a great influence on the young man. Next year Coney will be an AllAmerican.
