...ever got anything right regarding the canes. He can’t even get getting dressed appropriately right.
Don't worry...... Number 53 coming back
Lmao didn't think about that.Don't worry...... Number 53 coming back
Is our standard now to accept meh linebackers? Being better than McCloud and Jennings and Flagg isn’t much to write home about. The kid was a 5 star and largely been a disappointment himself.Anyone saying meh clearly hasn't watched our guys at linebacker at all last year. He would/will come in and be top dog at linebacker day 1
No, buts its a ******* start and a change from guys who stand still for 7 seconds waiting to see what is going on after the ball is snappedIs our standard now to accept meh linebackers?

It’s BlahAnd our current set of LB’s are below “meh” lol
Garbage *** LBing....our Probation LBers wiped their azzes with the trash I watched last yr....Lacks athleticism.... Did you watch us last yr? C'mon man. Saying he'll be our best LB is not so much of a great thing the way you think I'm saying it. That's how poor our LB performance was.
Last yr had to be the WORST LBing performance ever in Canes history. And I'm not exaggerating.Garbage *** LBing....our Probation LBers wiped their azzes with the trash I watched last yr....
God awful....Patke has absolutely NO business being a UM LBer coach....NONE...and lets not kid ourselves...even when Shaq was here the LBing was mediocre at best.Last yr had to be the WORST LBing performance ever in Canes history. And I'm not exaggerating.
You do know patke coaches strikers right?God awful....Patke has absolutely NO business being a UM LBer coach....NONE...and lets not kid ourselves...even when Shaq was here the LBing was mediocre at best.
I got you. He will make the room more competitive but hes still a poor fit for this scheme.Lacks athleticism.... Did you watch us last yr? C'mon man. Saying he'll be our best LB is not so much of a great thing the way you think I'm saying it. That's how poor our LB performance was.
Same F-ing garbage...Terrible coaching throughout the Entire Defense...even the D Line was non existent at critical times....You do know patke coaches strikers right?
See... Whether you agreed or disagreed that we should pursue him, I can totally respect your take because you actually provided stats and broke down his film. What I personally see in his video are things that our starting LBs lacked. Definitely would be an upgrade over what we put out on that field.Not necessarily true.
He's had 105 total tackles with 7.5TFL’s & 2 sacks in the first 2 years of his career at USC.
His best game was last year vs Utah with 14tcks, he also had 9tcks vs BYU, 9tcks vs Washington, 6tcks vs Notre Dame & 8tcks vs Iowa.
He only played in 2 games this season before he got injured with a concussion.
Plays both Mike & Weak Side LB, but would be a Mike in our system, has good diagnosis ability & does a good job scraping into the gap & getting to the ball carrier, is a bit of a reckless hitter, tends to just throw his entire body at the runner rather than identifying his target, but that can be coached up.
His speed is not an issue, I’m not sure what yall are watching but I saw solid movement & good angles against the run on the backside with fluid change of direction, he's not stiff IMO at all & he can Blitz really well, which means Diaz would salivate to use him in that role in this Defense.
In comparisons to McCloud, Jennings, Steed, Flagg & Brooks, he’s better & more productive than all of them.
He would be an instant impact starter & would help improve the LB corps the day he set foot on campus.
However, I don’t trust this dude Tim Reynolds, he has the tendency to soup up stuff like we’re making moves behind the scenes when in reality it’s usually just a bunch of fluff & bullshìt, either he has a source that feeds him bad info or he just be reaching.
Palaie’s younger brother Ma’a signed with Mich State last month, so they probably have the lead for Palaie as well, but if we have room & can get him he’s a definite take IMO. I’d much rather go into the season with Pal in the LB group than sticking with all these subpar *** upperclassmen we have who can’t play.
