Even with the injury, Sam Brooks just got his first start against one of the better offenses we'll see this year and he was significantly more productive in that role. I don't know how much more obvious it can get for the staff that Brooks needs to play over McCloud more than he already does. They made a change against NC State (believe the snap count was Brooks - 34 McCloud- 31) and I'd like to see that trend continue. Too many times we see McCloud just get swallowed up on the edge or washed out of the play by running into a block. I don't know for sure but I feel very confident in saying McCould has never had a game in a hurricane jersey as productive as Brooks did on Saturday ( 7 tackles 1 TFL 1 SK). Brooks has transitioned well to the college linebacker roll so far. Also I'm looking at the people that were calling this kid out for decommitting in December and then recommitting, there were some talking about that it was ok if he leaves bc of his ranking and other nonsense. He's a SoFlo kid and a mf dawg don't count him out that's why we consistently see SoFlo kids pop up with success in other places.
