Kiko + Wesley combo

Kiko had shoulder surgery and gained too much weight this off season. I believe that has played a part in his regression this season. Anyone saying Bissainthe has played well hasn't been watching either. He's still over pursing like he's on skates and no reading **** right. Give me Popo, Pruitt, Washington, and Alderman over both those guys. Also need a ******* end that will set an edge properly. There's no **** excuse getting beat this bad off the edge and with sweeps at the college level.

I tell ya brother

Watching him tackle this year…I’ve got nothing. Absolutely nothing. I watch a lot of college these days and tackling in general is really bad, but still

At first I thought maybe something he re-injured. When these guys have bad shoulder injuries and maybe tweak it, it makes you not wanna make the hit. But I just can’t find excuses watching him this year unless we find out after the season he’s got a torn labrum or something

If that’s the case and he’s playing injured then it’s on him for not being honest and coaches and trainers not digging into the problem. Some guys won’t/don’t admit to injuries for a myriad of reasons, but mostly playing time and stubbornly hanging on to the machismo factor to the detriment of themselves and the team. Fans are not gonna hate you for being hurt, but playing hurt and not owning it, yeah that’s differs t. It’s a variation of “ there’s no I in Team”… but there is an I in injury . Kiko needs to own it.

I’m just speculating about injuries but also our coaching staff had no problem putting TVD out there when he was injured. So it’s not always the players either. These guys get paid to play now

I was really hoping that 31 would take a big leap forward this year, but he has not, he's very average and Kiko has been a huge liability, sad that they are the best we have.

He looked good earlier this year but yeah collectively the whole defense just looks lost

The reason he over pursued is he has try to play as fast as possible because he doesn’t trust his speed. And he’s right though he’s not fast for a LB

True. However, players look faster when they are not thinking as much and know their assignments. LB play is about instincts, recognition, and reaction.
