    Diabate isn't a LB, Diabate its a edge rusher and this staff for whatever the reason its refuses to play Diabate to his strength.

    Isn't it a glaring weakness in the eyes of many that our staff takes players good at one phase of the game and tests them at another position they may not be suited for? I've never seen so many four star LB types on roster but in the view of many our LB corp lacks ability. I don't know.

    I don't have a problem if a player gets texted at another position, my problem comes when a player shows again and again that he doesn't fit for the position that he gets texted for and thats the case with Diabate as this staff has keep playing him at LB ( for close to 2 years) when he has showed that he isn't a LB.

    He does lead the team in sack with 8, 1.5 more than Carter.So while he is no star and has plenty of weaknesses, none of his teammates have more sacks.

    Correct! ESPN has Cox with 7 and Carter with 6.5. That right?

    Maybe someone confused tackles for loss with sacks or added both together. According to Game Log, Cox has 2 sacks and 5.5 tackles for loss. That's 7.5 total. Maybe that's where the 8 sacks comes from.

    ESPN changed a .5 sack to 5 sacks in one game. He has been hurt and ineffective this year. He was disruptive at least last year. This year almost not at all.

    Yeah I don’t see him getting sacks but when watching games even the announcers have said he has 5 sacks then I heard 6. Wonder if it’s espn broadcasts using their stats vs UF press guides

    Wingo looked good finally getting a chance and making 4 tackles. Yes he’s raw but needs to play.

    Cox is having a rough year. Bogle should be starting.

    does anyone know when McClellan is announcing? That would because huge get right now.

    I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY!!!

    I remember him getting the sack and I chuckled to myself that he finally hit home after 10 games of running past everyone, then the announcer said he had 6 and led the team and I immediately thought I was living in a different reality lol.

    IF and BIG IF we can nab McClellan, Wiggins, and Jordan Phillips (word to @apkgator even tho he may stick with UT), that’s a helluva DL haul. Wonder if they give Clyde Pinder a call since he’s there in the portal.

    a DL haul of

    Lyons
    Nolten
    McClellan
    Wiggins
    Phillips
    Pinder (portal)

    would be very damn good all things considered

    Seems like Moten is moving into that Phillips slot, although I have long preferred Phillips and still do
