Haven't heard much about spring practice yet, other than a few little tidbits on the LB and WR situations.
It seems like the MLB competition is between Parsons and Brooks right now, as I've read that they are the two getting a lot of reps at the position. Seems like Brooks is more ready to take over, and has great leadership skills for the position (also experienced at playing it) but Parsons has an obvious edge on athleticism and raw talent (FREAK).
Will be interesting to see who wins it, as I still stand by my assertion that Brooks should be MLB with Parsons out wide in a LB position that allows him to use more of that raw speed off the edge. Just my opinion though, because I haven't seen either in person. Although it seems an ideal way to maximize talent on the field. Brooks is a more natural MLB, but OMG Parsons is such an athlete. I'm sure he'd wreck there when he figured it out, but how long would that take? It's a more assignment position than a weak LB would be, where you can kinda let it hang out and play on instinct (to a degree)
Also, I'm reading that KJ Hamler is lighting up practice in the slot. Many saying he is lightning quick and fast, which could make defenses go crazy with to big tall receivers on the edges. Nice to see the kid has come back strong from his injury.
Anyone else with some info, please share!
Roam, i just read where they're looking at Micah at the Will position. You sir, are either a genius or a coach on PSU's staff!! Either way, good call. My hat is off to you sir!!
I read today that Parsons is working out at Will. Not sure moving him there is indication that Brooks is doing better or more an indication that they want versatility out of Parsons.
Will LB always made perfect sense to me. It's the LB you have the most flexibility with in regards to how they line up, and it is usually the most athletic of the 3.
You can do so many things with Parsons there, and just let him loose.
I get lucky every now and then. LOL
