There’s been no other LB we’ve been discussing that was visiting from the spring portal so now that he has committed feel not free to crap on it.

I didn't crap on it, I'm just saying I think he's a rotational LB.

 

[JZCane0825]

I agree he's a take for depth. I just don't think he's a clear Power 5 starting LB.

So a first team all-CUSA LB is not a starting P-5 LB? Please explain your logic

 

[pyhooya]

His group worthy.

So 4 commits?

Nixon had as many tackles last year (104) as our top two LB’s combined.

Can we please stop calling MackBammer a troll at this point?

He’s a troll. Are you saying he’s not a troll and he’s a stupid poRster?

 

[grover]

If you watch their film you should only be giddy about one. I’m ok with the take but I view him as a Caleb type maybe not as good. He could start or spilt snaps but he’s no Mauioga.

I saw the film. He's a little stiff. But so was Shaq. He is night and day better than Caleb Johnson, and Flagg and Smith for that matter.

Troll is giving him way too much credit. He believes everything he writes

Well then, if he’s not a troll, we won’t likely purgatory or ban him for being stupid.

Night and day? Not sure about that. His tackles are because teams ran on them a lot. Not because he was some sideline to sideline athletic freak. He’d help with run D though. He has better instincts than Caleb but CJ was a much better athlete. Btw thus cat is nowhere in Shaq’s universe.

I mostly agree with your take in that he’s probably good enough to start here over Flagg or Keontra, but it’s not a bonafide slam dunk level of improvement. Just don’t expect a Cisco-esque level of production…now if he wraps up better, he’s instinctually more sound than the two I first mentioned. Could see his ceiling being better than Caleb for sure.

Also would push Wes imo, and it’s something that’s needed. He struggled a bit during the spring and having a vet show him the ropes and allow him to keep growing would be beneficial for everyone.

Caleb Johnson? Good gawd if that’s the case then PASS

Those 2 and Post Malone would be a **** of a Monday.

Any relation to Karl Malone

Him and Wes will likely split time Imo . Wes getting more snaps on Pass downs. I’m much more excited for the other portal guys. Nixon could start or be rotational because the room isn’t great.

Seems like a helpful piece after Cisco Mauigoa given what we have right now.

 

[Mackmiller974]

He had over 100 tackles and was 1st team all CUSA. Your idiocy truthfully knows no bounds.

Caleb Johnson and Antonio Moultrie were all conference players before they came here and neither ended up doing much for us. Go watch some film of Nixon and you will see some things that will concen you with his athleticism and tackling ability, he graded out in the low 50s by PFF which is terrible. I just don't think he's a day 1 starter, I see him as more of a rotational LB who can play 20-25 snaps a game. He's definitely a take in my opinion but I just don't see him being a day 1 starter.

Better instincts and better against the run. But not the athlete. Nice pickup but I understand what he is. Caleb was coming to push Flagg. Mauigoa came and pushed him and will start. I see Nixon coming to push the other guys and help with the run. All fine.

 

[Warrior808]

He will push WB and probably get plugged in on some of the run packages. Wes is still light and if Keontre Smith is his backup thats another smaller LB. This gives us a bigger option in some of the sub packages or run heavy teams.
