But I'm not worried about the Lbers anymore this season..

Luvu looks like the light switch has been turned on... He looks  like he will be more then just a guy... He might be on a breakout star run..

Littleton still got some juice and his vet play will be good for us .

Brandon Smith was a absolute steal....

And we still haven't had Shaq back yet..

Very at peace with this Lber group..

The switch was on for Luvu last year. Every time he was on the field he was around the ball making plays. 

And I'd add that he never playe like JAG last year. He has a fire in him and a knack for making plays. 

Yeah, some already expected Baker to be a steal, and I'd argue that you could see it coming, but Luvu may have been a steal on the other side of the ball, and 99 percent of people couldn't see that coming. Kevin Greene (RIP) did.

I was a little suprised Luvu was the MLB. I assumed Littleton would have been. When Shaq returns between him, Luvu, Wilson, Littleton and Smith we should be fine at LB as long as they stay healthy. 

The corners are deep with Jackson, Horn, and CJ, etc.. I expect CJ to get picked on early on. That was the unit I thought might be the best on D BUT the safety pairing of Chinn and Woods have the potential to be one of the best.

Only thing I'm worried about is that Dline. But IF Derrick Brown plays every week like he played last night we'll be more than fine. I'm just trying not to overreact based on the competition we played. But still, that's an an NFL team...a damn good one at that. There depth should be lightyears ahead of ours. 

Bottom line, my ideal lineup from what I've seen would be Luvu-Shaq-Smith (if he improves his tackling). Watching YGM with Smith lined up behind him made me smile ...then the sack came

The issue, as it would be with any LB group is the ability of the DLine to keep the Guards and Tackles engaged and so they can roam.
Not so confident that we can. Hopeful but not confident.

The LBs dont lack talent, but D-Line depth and…Girth is an issue that we haven’t addressed. (no eggplants)

That is the very problem that throttled our LBs in the past year or two.  If the opposing OL can get to them, their ability to read and react goes in the tank.  They can still read, but are in no position to react.

I'm cautiously optimistic about our LBs talent, but they have to be kept clean by the DL.

      FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.

      That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?

      Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
