And we do ask a lot of our middle linebacker.

We have our D-line back, injury-free, and those guys are keeping the linemen off us at linebacker and allowing us to make plays. We weren't able to do that last year.

As a linebacker, you can kind of see where the play is going, but on the line you have to feel where it's going. -Ryan Barnes

The average linebacker, I think, is about 6-1 or something like that? If I'm 6-7 running down the field, and it's a one-on-one, I'm going to make the play because of my height.

Chris has tremendous speed and quickness, but he has to show us that he can really be an all-around linebacker.

Our strength is in our senior leadership and the experience we have at the linebacker position. -Steve Schultz

He was just not comfortable (at linebacker). It's something we can do in a disaster, but he wasn't comfortable rushing from there and he played really well (on the line), one of his best games in quite awhile.

Coaches are usually defensive minded anyway. I've always built the defense starting with the middle linebacker.

Gary Campbell

Our job is to go out there and make sure the defensive line doesn't touch him, make sure the linebacker don't hit him and let the chips fall. It starts up front and we have to do our job. -Max Starks

I feel I can play linebacker. That's all that I can do, ... I can't play cornerback. I can't play safety. I can't play offensive line.

In the beginning of the year we thought we were deep at inside linebacker.

He's a good player for us, ... He's not a huge bulky linebacker, but just a good wrestler-type of a football player. -Jim Duncan

Really, linebacker is linebacker and football is football. It's going out, making plays, hitting people and tackling.

Clint quickly developed an understanding of our defense. He's smart, runs well and is a good tackler. We're counting on him to be a great linebacker.

We felt that it fell into a great situation being able to get a guy that is a good player, that is a Buccaneer-style of a linebacker. He is athletic, he can change directions and he can run. -Joe Barry

We just felt we're stronger at linebacker than the front guys, so were going to a 3-4.

Doug Adkins

I felt we could cut down on their passing lanes. We didn't get much pressure on them, but the linebacker and ends were really getting their hands up.

That was one of the best runs I've ever seen Broderick make. It was a beautiful run and was great to see, because of how hard he hit the linebacker and how he was able to spin away from him. -Tommy Felty

He's been a tough kid all his life. He's got linebacker mentality. He threw a great game and dominated a good team on the road.

Tony Robichaux

He brings us great energy. Hopefully, his role will expand. It would be good if he could give (starting linebacker) Ryan Foltz a break.

You always expect the least from them. Why should I be any different than all of our other guys? They didn't even make [linebacker] Carlos [Emmons] an offer. -Correll Buckhalter

The challenge [with the defense] is going to be in the depth. We'll have freshmen playing right away in our first week at Holy Cross in the defensive positions, certainly at defensive line and linebacker.

Tim Murphy

Being the middle linebacker, he has to make all the checks and all the calls. And he's not a real young guy, but when the ball's between the tackles, he's always the first guy to the ball.

Brigham Young's defense did pretty much what we expected. Occasionally they brought another linebacker up and tried to change a few things. -Ryan O'callaghan
0

I think he can step right in and play linebacker for them.

Myron Branning

(Linebacker) was something that was a weakness on the team last year. Now hopefully it'll be a strength.

Brandon Short

He's a linebacker with the basketball. He's so doggone strong for a guard. -Chris Mack

I already believe I am the best linebacker in the game. Now, I have to show one more thing ? that I am the most dominating, influential person in the game and the best football player to ever put on a pair of cleats.

Ray Lewis

I have a chance to play early because they only have one middle linebacker ahead of me on the depth chart. I'm excited about playing there.

Domonic Hopson

He was fast enough to play end but not linebacker. But he dedicated himself all year to getting faster and quicker. -Randy Mayes
