LBs, speed

Do we have speed at the LB position?

I am sure Coach Duval purchased one of these for winter conditioning. Winking

Was hard to evaluate after the Diaco disaster.. Like to see what the LB'ers can do with the currant staff...

Will Hanos looks like he is coming in with some speed.
 
Ruud is already in contact Lavonte David and they're currently working on a disguise and one of those Little League World Series forged birth certificates.

Wait and see. Football speed is different than 40 time tells you
 
Honus has reaction and instinct speed for a LB but if you are looking at 40 speed, no.

Not great speed, but at this point who cares about the speed? I just want to see a competent unit that can make consistent plays and tackle well. I'll worry about speed later.

I am really not sure how fast any of those guys are. None of the LBs got a yes for speed. I think most are probably faster than #5, if not all of them.

But then again, Drew Brown was probably faster than #5... :D

Sign a few extra running backs... have them play safety.

Sign a few extra safeties... have them play linebacker.

Sign a few extra linebackers... have them play defensive end.

rinse, repeat.

Honas has a PR in the 100M of 11.47 and ran on his HS teams 4X100 at the KS state meet. His speed is just fine for an inside LB. Josh Banderas is listed with a PR of 11.46.
