Another from insidetheu about Kirby

I wish I could've seen this kid in a more aggressive defense... he was a stud coming out of HS
 
loving these guys attitude. I think that Louisville beating was a wake up call and guys took notice. we cant be great half-assing we need to work harder than anybody else.
 
I have a feeling Kirby will be just fine... No need to be so negative

not being able to beat out Jimmy Gaines is a real issue for me...I like JG but he was never a D-1 LB slow, mis read plays got burned all the time, and now his back up is potentiality a starter...perryman will be a poor mans Sean spence out there this year

I can't agree with this at all. Perryman will be the best player on our Defense for a second straight year. He needs to improve in consistency and coverage but calling him a poor mans Sean Spence is undermining his contribution a ton.

My bad....my point being Sean was on an Island his senior year with Cmac gone and was babysitting all the time....BTW I think Howard was the best player on D last year...that is just my Opinion...

This happens all the time in college football. Sometimes and for some reason the backup is not able to beat out the low quality starter. Then the backup goes on and out plays the low quality starter the following year.
 
Neal I'm not saying Gaines didn't understand what he was doing because I'm sure mentally he got it but physically ohhh lord.... Horrible angles to the ball. Horrible pursuit! The worst part is I believe AG played Gaines because he was a SR. Hurts to say that but it appears the only plausible reason. Kirby would flash every once in a while and it would just **** me off.

Players do, you know improve. Believe it or not it happens and some players take longer than others. Your negative attitude is so god **** annoying.

No they don't.
 
I don't put much stock into guys not being able to beat out player X. That happen to be an upperclassman under Golden.

Aggressive applies to the DL and the DB, but I would think that as a LB, you should be able to be aggressive no matter what the defense is. Read, Run and attack.

Perryman is a natural Mike in my opinion. It makes sense to move Kirby to the Will position with Figs at Sam. Gaines played because he was smart althought limited athletically. This is now a set of Miami-type linebackers we haven't seen around here in some time.

Well ****, lets just cut every underclassmen that can't beat an upperclassmen then. I will be surprised that a JR Kirby will be better than a SR Gaines.
 
Okay....so I point out a fact that JG was not a great or even a solid LB...and there is a possibility that Kirby will be a monster...we all watch the games some closer than others...( cough cough)...LBs is an instinct position and yes players to develop...when we threw Eddie Johnson in there a couple of years ago he was a game changer and you knew he had that instinct, I have not seen that with Kirbs....could it change absolutely and lets hope it does, I still think other guys still have a say who plays that position.

Golden has a soft spot for seniors with little ability and then turns around and talks about their leadership which even if it were true gets severely outweighed by their horrible play on the field. I remember last year hearing him big up Highsmith all year but then turned about around and called Gunter out for one bad play.
