Get him in there on some 3rd down packages and let him blitz from different areas. That way his assignment is clear and simple

We don't seem to thrive at scheming guys up. Bobby can't be worse at LB than Richard at CB.

Bobby's thing is he just doesn't understand gap integrity and assignment football. Kids SOOOOO physically talented. But has to get his mentals straightened out ASAP.

With the resources we have these days, why don’t they just assign a grad assistant to him full time? I’m kidding… partially. But the way NASA addresses “mental” is repetition. Feels like he should be going through play walkthroughs 247 until he gets it right. He’s too talented to waste.

I think difference is we have less depth at CB. I agree Richards has not been good but we legit are just missing bodies.

Bobby I assume is playing Will so he is competing with Wes, Chase Smith, Cam Pruit, Alderman, **** maybe even Hayes, unsure where he is lining up. Popo comes in for Mike so I was not including him. but agreed that scheming guys up to utilize specific skill sets needs improvement.

Everyone uses CJ as this example. But I'm not positive he's the best of comps. Where's CJ excels is in straight line speed. He's a North & South runner. Brashard to me is a clone of Robbie Washington. Where he's in and out of his cuts and excels to top ends in a heartbeat. They both struggle on the physical side of the game. I really wish we'd find some kind of way to get both Washington's more involved in game days.

If they were physical man oh man and a bit more explosive that be next level ****

Last thing you ever want to do to a linebacker is let it be known He's nothing but a blitzer when he's on the field. All that does is give away what we work so hard to disguise. It makes you zero sense to have him on the field as a decoy either. In whose place should he do that?

Big difference between the two. Bobby doesn't play because we have ample bodies at the position and he's behind Hayes who as of now is 4th String. As much as I'd love to get Bobby on the field I don't think it should be in place of hayes, who I think has the most upside in the room. If Bobby and Robbie stay with us I can see both of them having significant roles next season. Just comes down to if they're old girl finally gets them to leave. Richard's plays for one , because of his physicality against the run and on plays downhill. He's not bad on plays downhill that develop in front of him. It's everything else he sucks at. But the only reason he's on the field so often is because we need warm bodies at the position.

I just can’t believe there was a debate about if we should get him the ball more last year. He had our longest run, and did well when he was at wr too, seemed like a good solution to bad qb play

We legit were in death battle against a **** 3-9 UVA team down to OT and Brashard stood on sideline dam near whole game while the offense couldnt do ****..

I was just giving an example of a simple assignment you can give him in situational football. I’m not saying do it all the time but I think as a wrinkle here and there you could definitely pull it off. Kiko and Wes could use a breather every now and then
