Take a step back, clear your head and think about it again. Put aside for now the fact that Brooks had 5 tackles and 1 sack in just a quarter of football. Watch the tape again and what you will see is that Brooks stuck out like a sore thumb! The kid looked like he had been shot out of a cannon! People are excited for good reason. What Brooks looked like is what the entire Miami defense should look like. We need to make a concerted to get back to having that type of speed all over the defense.
There was also the fact that Brooks looked decisive and confident. He looked like he belonged out there which for a true freshman is no small feat. Many times a true freshman will look lost and tentative no matter how talented he may be. Brooks seems to have natural instincts and we can all see he has the speed. Brooks needs to keep learning the defense and continue getting reps in practice and more experience in games. IMO it would be foolish to redshirt Brooks since he is obviously going to be expected to spearhead the LB corps next year. I'm very much looking forward to watching Brooks earn more playing time as the season progresses.
I never said anything negative about Brooks. I hope and think he could be a great player for us.
IDGAF what you do against Bethune Cookman, there’s no such thing as a “breakout game” against a FCS school.
Well, maybe Jimmy Murphy.
Just slow the **** roll, is all I’m saying. We’re 1-2.
First real action in college, it's a great opening to his career. It means he can find the ball and regardless of what we think of BC as a collegiate team, they would wipe the floor with any high school team in the nation.
Absolutely, I liked what I saw of him. Think he'll be a good one.
