Awesome! We need his experience. Maybe he wasn’t getting great feedback from the NFL?
Just awesome! I thought Jake could slot in at Free Safety in the Nfl. This is outstanding turn of events, 21 seniors.
I can live with this if it does not stunt the growth of Barnes, Cooper and Tolson. I prefer out lb’s make the majority of their tackles near the line of scrimmage as opposed to 7-10 yards downfield. Even though it looks like we might play a 3-4, I am not sure any of those 3 plus Hansen are outside backers.Excited and hopeful are a couple things to consider.
If the freshman makes plays at the line of scrimmage, yes. I believe Cooper, Tolson and Barnes are better inside backers than Hansen. I don’t think any of them plus Hansen are real outside backers in a 3-4 look if that is the base defense. Maybe Cooper, but Tolson and Barnes are not tall enough and Hansen is definitely not fast enough.It's real simple. We were 2-5 or something dismal like that. We need all the help we can get. We just got some help. You want a freshman?
Is this a real statement? All-American? The dispensary must be open on south Neil.The best addition possible for this team. Just added an All-American at a position of need who's already familiar with the personnel.
I dont know about All-American. That's like calling J Leaman an All-American LB. Still a very solid get for this team. Curious on how they will use him. Or what type of defense they will use.The best addition possible for this team. Just added an All-American at a position of need who's already familiar with the personnel.
Agree with this. I like Jake as a person and representative for the team, but I thought there were better players begging for time last year. I actually don't see him as a starter. Perhaps if he were coached up - he could make the leap to get tackles at the line or behind, and better coverage in the middle on pass plays.I can live with this if it does not stunt the growth of Barnes, Cooper and Tolson.

Really? Genuinely curious here. I don't follow football quite as closely as basketball. I know Hansen isn't a perfect player, but I thought we didn't have much waiting in the wings either.with this.

I hope he's turns out to be a rock star, but i thought we had better options/potentials last year missing snaps.
He said "Leaman".... different guy..J Leman was an All-American
Hansen is not even close to being the same linebacker J was....J Leman was an All-American LB.
Funny he led the team in tackles behind the line, also has the most turnovers of Anyone in the country over the last 2 years and didn't play the whole schedule of games. RtBritt beat me.Agree with this. I like Jake as a person and representative for the team, but I thought there were better players begging for time last year. I actually don't see him as a starter.

and he's REAL good at forcing fumbles. I assume BB is OK with that. LOLThat is good news. Brings experience, football IQ, leadership, and overall depth to that position. Welcome back Jake and not from State Farm. He isn't wearing khakis, he is wearing Orange and Blue.
strange, this is like getting a real nice transfer without it having to count towards our limit.Not sure how I feel about this.
I am assuming you watched all of our games with Hansen at backer the last several years? It was either feast of famine. Zero consistency. He did make big plays, but time and time again, he did not make routine plays that should be made by a good inside backer.Funny he led the team in tackles behind the line, also has the most turnovers of Anyone in the country over the last 2 years and didn't play the whole schedule of games.

yea, he must have been ignoring the coaching he was getting the last 3 years from Miles Smith..........I am assuming you watched all of our games with Hansen at backer the last several years?

It's called smart football.I was gonna say
I love Jake. but nfw does he ever run a sub 4.9 40 yard dash . he’s made his bones figuring out where to be before the play unfolds . he really never gets to the runner or receiver by catching up to them
J Leman was an All-American
