Rose-Ivey vs Banderas

[ftball95]

Is it just me or does Rose-Ivey make way more plays against a spread team than Bando, it looked to me that Bando was always late to the outside or was getting blocked or missing the tackle. Why wasn't Rose-Ivey in there more? What did everyone else see?

MRI was very active, but they don't play the same position. MRI is battling Newby for PT.

When Bando came out Ivey came in

I haven't watched it again yet, but the first two Bando came out in the nickel and was the MLB in our base. Maybe they switched things up this week.

You could be right, I just didn't see Bando and Ivey out there at the same time very often. Looked like most of the time when Bando came out Ivey was going in. Doesnt really matter I just think Ivey needs to be in there more makes a lot of plays at the line and behind the line, very instinctive player.

Understatement Alert: LB play, in general, has vastly improved since the arrival of Trent Bray.

If fewer plays keeps MRI healthy and full of energy at the end of the game, let his workload stay somewhat reduced.

Would be nice to keep all the LBs on the field all season long.

It has improved, but there is still some work to do. Banderas in particular has not been what I anticipated when I've watched him. Would like to see more of Newby on the field at all times.

Oregon has a knack for making your LB's look bad.

Dude relax..it's a process.

I am very relaxed. Just saying more of Marcus Newby on the field would be a nice thing to see.

As far as I'm concerned, Rose-Ivey is the best linebacker we have. His instincts are unreal.

The one thing I noticed when watching replays of Benoit's 40 yd TD run - Banderas should have stopped him for a 3 yd gain. Had a clean shot at him, no blocker between him and the RB, but Banderas whiffed on the tackle. No explanation, no reason - didn't even slow him down or turn him around - nothing. I don't understand it, it looked like 2 handed touch.

Banderas looks better than he has been the past couple years at least. I haven't been impressed with Young at all. For all the hype about his athleticism, he's always looked slow to me, and he missed a lot of tackles against Oregon.

They did

MRI and Newby appear to be our two best/most consistant LBs thus far

They did

Thanks Front Runner. Do you think MRI will get reps at MLB in our base? Would put our three best LB's on the field, IMO.

Young might be the odd man out in base if he doesn't get it going. He's a better athlete than he's showed. Watch the 1st TD run. MLB #52 get's sealed on a pin and pull. He's got to read the triangle. MRI appeared to lined up wrong. That stuff is way fixable.
