[QUOTE="thunderwear, post: 1460891, member: 445550"] I think these are some good points. My comments are not so much comments about Del 'Shawn, it is more comments about what we need at Linebacker. We need the other LBs to step up their game and replace Del ' Shawn. Then we need Milo to come in like a 4* recruit with experience and play to potential. Otherwise I am nto sure how this defense will turn out using Lovie's system. This defense requires a lot from LBs. Also, the idea that Milo was 3rd string is somewhat misleading. Like most established football programs, Washington had a series of upperclassmen starting. Milo was set to receive significant playing time his redshirt sophomore year as the upperclassmen were leaving. Players in most positions in football won't start or play as Freshmen and mostly won't play or start as sophomores (red-shirt freshmen), which is what he was. The payoff starts to show in year 3 or 4. That is why this year should see a bump and the following year should see a huge bump as the team will be mostly upperclassmen. [/QUOTE]
