[QUOTE="Deleted member 654622, post: 1478121"] This is where my intrigue comes in. If you break the LBs down by their physical abilities into two categories, add in the physical improvements from Fresh-Soph and Soph-Jun (Jun-Sen not as big as a jump since they have been acclimated to the training and diet), you end up with next year: Bigger Stronger run stoppers (Lance Briggs): Senior Hansen 6'1" 225lb and Junior Tolsen 6' 230(projected) More athletic speed LBs (Brain Urlacher): Senior Milo 6'2" 225lb, Redshirt Junior Smith 6'2" 220lb, Junior Ware 6' 220(Projected), Soph Shammond 6'2" 225lb (projected) Tarique is already 6'1" 220lb. Reports are he is very athletic. How much weight does he add within one year with already being 220? What happens to his speed/quickness? I really have a hard time projecting Hansen keeping his spot the rest of this year let alone next year with what is coming/maturing in the system. Good problem to have if they can all play [/QUOTE]
