DEpends on...

- how well he plays coverage....

- how well Spitler plays once his strength returns (he had salmonella two weeks ago)

- can he play ST's worth a damn (see Walden)

- Does Dobbins come back from injury

 

I think if you go by that, his chances of making this team are very slim.

 

I liked what i saw from him. Hope he continues to improve. The roughing the passer was a joke penalty. This is football, not badminton.

 

Welcome to the forums, we now have two UK players on the team, I hope he sticks, he has a nose for the ball but I'm concerned about his speed.

 

Watch for him on special teams. I know that he was not on punt return because after playing a solid series at linebacker, he was coming out of the game on punt return. It's still early but that was not a good sign.

 

Kid showed some game, but he is still likely a long shot to make the team IMHO.

 

I like his game. Should be valuable depth for a 3-4 team. But his chances of making this team are slim imo. He's a classic thumper, nothing more. And we already have two of those on the team in Crowder and Dobbins.

 

He's been on the team less than 2 weeks
let him learn the special teams game as well as our defense

 

Somehow I had a feeling you'd say this. :lol:

 

In all fairness, I'd have to say that learning a defensive scheme to the point where you can play in an actual game is much harder than learning any level of special teams? (Unless of course there is some similarities between the UK defense and Mike Nolan's; then it could be real easy)

They could in reality just show him flash cards of the punt/kick coverage or blocking scheme like they do with the scout team.

 

UK is Cover 2 Man base coverage IIRC.

Lol, you know me too well. The guy is not very good IMO.
