Tirek Austin-Cave at Striker?

Why force the striker position?? We have numbers at LB now and there is no athlete that fits that position like Finley. Maybe Carter or Harrell but moving those guys just makes us weak at Safety...

But, this is coach Baker we're dealing with sooo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How about we just get rid of the striker position?

The 3 LB's should be Brooks, Huff & Cave, with guys like Joyner, McCloud, Carter & Jennings rotating in. We need a big infusion of speed & athleticism into the LB group, if this staff starts are these injury prone slow guys just because they're upperclassmen we'll continue to be a boom or bust Defense that gets picked apart against teams that actually know how to utilize their weapons on offense. It'll be a bunch of Va Tech, GTech, Duke & FIU type games happening all over again.

I would not be surprised if upperclassmen start, similar to Patchan vs Rousseau. Do hope they have solid play next season, though.

We should scrap the striker as we use it. FSU under jimbo used the “star” well letting off the charts athletes loose on teams. We just use ****tier versions of a safety

Striker or not I am just excited for this kid to get here. Can change our LB room from day 1.

The problem with the striker position is guys have went through this program that would excel at the role. They aren’t here anymore and those athletes don’t go to Miami anymore.

Sean Taylor could play Striker. Antrel Rolle could play striker (the Giants used him as their nickelback for multiple season).

Slow oversized safeties and failed cornerbacks isn’t a plan for a position. The striker position is just a catch all for recruiting and evaluation failures.

Frierson needs to lose some weight about 10-15 pounds so he can get faster

I think he’s better off gaining 15lbs and playing LB. He can’t cover to save his life. He’d be plenty quick at the LOS.
