sometimes I feel we have one of the dumbest fanbases in the country




....and then I notice the ones around Pickens and am reminded otherwise.

Especially those who really feel that they are right, at this point in time its all guess work(and some of it is just no where close to educated)
I asked the question because depth at LB could be an issue...English has great speed and agility for any size, thus i asked a question...I never suggested he would be moved ...Nor did i start any rumors..Thought i was starting a fun discussion...

Dumb is people who lack the ability to read and treat fellow posters with respect and dignity....

tallest backer on their roster is 6-6 250....I'm willing to bet he's an OLB who rushes the passer more often than not. A LB in our system is completely different than an LB in Bama's so your argument is a moot point. Being 6'8 at the backer position has zero benefit, except maybe dropping into coverage....the leverage he would need to be able to play with and the knee bend just does not fit when standing up and playing LB. His hand in the dirt is much better for him.
Im not making the decisions on whos playing where. Im saying this kid is SPECIAL, Special enough that the Staff will find situations to get him on the field. This kid could play OLB IMO. I rank his raw athleticism with anyone. And just to clarify, I think hes 6'6". I may have misprinted that in the origianl post. But youre going to hear this kids name alot over the course of his career at USC.

I'd be shocked if they moved English to LB. He'll get plenty of chances this year at DE and I think he'll show us how good he can get. I've read where some believe we'll get more production from Devin's replacement.

The big move to linebacker likely will be Kelvin Rainey. 6-3, around 225-230 by the fall, ran a 4.6 in HS, about 36" vertical and recruited as a LB, TE, and Hback out of HS. If he picks up the technique and assignments needed at this level quickly, he may be a force at OLB. I expect English will get playing time at DE down or up (ala Ingrqam, Norwood). He may not start, but will likely be a key part of the rabbit package moving Clowney or Sutton inside on passing downs.

I just read this article on 247sports that said English is already 245 lbs. That is amazing 215 to 245 in about six months. It also said he will challenge Sutton for the starting spot this spring. I guess it will be athleticism vs experience. ---part of the article is below ---
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Really, [he] just [needs] get bigger and continue to improve his fundamentals," Lawing said at the time. "He is a lot like Devin Taylor was at that age and of course we redshirted Devin. He can run, he is the fastest guy we have got."

While it's English's speed that makes him stand out, his weight gain during his first couple of semesters has been impressive. In December he said he weighed 235 pounds and had a goal of getting to 245 pounds by the season. Sources within the program say English has already reached that goal.

"I'm really just working on continuing to get quicker and faster and stronger," English said.
