I agree. I need a haircut soon
Did Damien Wilson come off for nickel and dime packages or was he an every down linebacker? I'm recalling that Claeys left him in most plays, figuring he could handle pass coverage. I'd think they would expect Barber, if he plays MLB, to be able to do the same.
And, btw, there's 18 LBs and DE's that ran faster than a 4.7 40 just in the NFL combine (not including draftees with a secured high draft position not attending), even more on recruits page of Gopher Illustrated (not including a lot of previously committed players). So if Thomas is a 4.8 as you say, that's pretty average speed for a front seven guy.
And we all have heard how Kill is emphasizing speed, right.
