Unconquered

I feel the same way I would love Luc to start at MLB position. We also might see Bradham move inside at times this year.

I think a lot of Luc's relative obscurity has to do with a few things. First of all, he had to play behind Kendall Smith last season, a two-year starter. Secondly, he was battling injury for the better part of the season. I think that at worst, he'll be backing up Williams this season, no way he's falling out of the two-deep. At best, he comes into fall practice with a fire in his eyes and competes for the starting spot, reminding us all why he was a consensus 5* recruit in 2010.

I really wish we could just get a Ray Lewis type up in here. A MLB that makes tight ends and slot receivers just shake in their boots when they go over the middle.

Maybe someone will emerge like this? Only time will tell, I suppose.

Definitely a fair stance, I could see it happening.

Who do we have behind Vince and Jeff?

Don't everybody forget Telvin is working some at that position. IMO Vince and Luc rotate and Telvin spells them. Bradham starts and is backed up by Telvin and Jones starts and his back up will be established in the next few weeks, more than likely Nigel T.

I would love to see Bradham in the middle with Jones and Telvin Smith on the outside. I think that gets our best LB talent on the field together at the same time and IMO Bradham is a MLB in the NFL so that would help his development there for the future. Either that or a OLB in a 34.

Not completely sold on Vince or Luc right now, but that's because we haven't seen much of them to this point. Depth chart after those first three is difficult to project. I really think Jenkins or Terrance Smith could end up in the 2 deep by years end, to me both are superior to Nigel Terrell who may be a lifetime special teamer.

Terrell is stupid fast and as he continues to add strength and size I think he has a shot to play. He really runs like a running back. Having said that Jenkins or Smith look good early so that will be fun to watch play out. I have heard new rumblings about Moody moving to LB and that makes sense with LJ and Los coming on strong. One of the safetys is moving to LB and Moody would be my guess followed by Brooks. As far as Vince, he is putting in the work and I believe it will pay off. The coaches loved his spring and see that the D follows him. He will be fine. I am waiting to see Jeff and what he brings. Whenever he is on the field we have possibly the most strength in the middle we have ever had. Home boy is a monster. He is more intimidating than the boys that stand a half a foot taller than him. Hulkish.

I actually hope that Telvin will be starting at MLB against spread/faster teams (e.g., Clemson, OU) as will Joyner at FS. Both Telvin and Joyner can cover a lot of ground quickly... and tackle/hit.

I think Vince will be the starter, but the flow of the game will dictate who plays the most snaps. Pro Style / Running Team = Vince. Passing/Spread Team = Telvin

Vince and Luc will battle it out this Summer.

Going to be a clash of the titans there, whoever comes out as the starter will no doubt have earned it.

Not saying who is better, but I'll tell you after watching all of last years games for the fourth time, VW was always around the ball. Like everyone else, he missed a few assignments (I guess), and missed a tackle or two, but his hustle impressed me to no end. Kid just loves to play and hit. I imagine Coach Egghead has been working hard with him to tweak his skill set. We'll be fine whoever is in there. With 2-3 very strong players at the position, we can load fresh legs and bodies into the opposing teams backfield and .

He said last spring that it's "Luke." It's funny, he said his momma would be upset if anyone called him "Luck."
