BTW, Fely is the LEAST of our problem. He's one of the best players on the field even though he's playing out of position. The guy is hardly ever out of position and IS the best tacklers on the team. Fely is also our best and only pass rusher right now (sad but true).

I agree, I think he would be better at safety rather than linebacker tho. Either way guy is the only one in the front 7 performing, well Merrideth has his moments too.

Stats indicate, however inconclusively, he's our second best linebacker behind Tenhaeff and like the 5th leading tackler on the team. does lead in sacks. Tenhaeff has twice as many TFLs. I still think he's out of position. Seems like he has more success on the outside.

i might have to agree. it seems like our safeties & corners blow coverages that turn into TD's the last two games. Maybe put Fely back there as safety and put a bigger LB in his place. But i'm no coach, just what i notice when i re watch the games. I agree, I think he would be better at safety rather than linebacker tho. Either way guy is the only one in the front 7 performing, well Merrideth has his moments too. |

I thought he'd playing Aztec when he was in HS. I could never find out why he is a MLB.

Agree about Fely! Big motor guy who loves getting to the ball. He does get killed against big o-lines and is not effective. IMO the staff has not recruited well at least on the defensive side. The D has so many holes it's scray. When the season began, they looked okay but against spread teams they look horrible. The staff needs to recruit better to this style of defense or change the defense.

He has the speed , pursuit and great tackling ability. Wouldn't that suggest that he could be better utilized as an OLB rather than MLB where he gets pushed around?
You could then move Harris to MLB......he is big, strong but not as fast as Jake.

Agree, at the same time I believe our W-L record could be improved if we still had Mile Burris in the lineup. He was a game changer and I'm not sure if we have someone to fill in his shoes right now.

He should be moved to the Aztec position. No doubt about it. The Aztec in this defense is designed to be at the ball. Usually left un blocked and left to make big plays. That is what jake does. We have enough backers, we need a super star Aztec that will always be in a position to turn a game around. If he if left at backer, he will get to banged up. Have already seen it in the last few games. Shack it up and get more beef in the middle and our best player flying around making plays.

Fely is all heart. I only wish his attitude and tenacity would rub off on some of the other players...
