One consistent issue with mgoblog going back 20 years is ripping on our LBs..

Posted on September 24, 2026 at 07:48:21 AM by Rich (edited September 24, 2026 at 07:48:40 AM)

From Ezeh to Mouton to Colson to Bowles and everyone in between. It always seemed agenda driven and is a big reason I stopped reading UFRs.

Seth’s expectation of LBs in zone defense is so unrealistic. - By harbaughdyssey September 24, 2026 at 07:45:03 AM

  - Used to be true of safeties too but they figured it out - By ny1995 September 24, 2026 at 08:13:22 AM
  - Ezeh was pretty bad nm - By mgaelster September 24, 2026 at 08:04:29 AM

    - Carr started him 10 games as a rs frosh. He started 38 career games and had 293 tackles and 19.5 TFL. Was Hon Mention All B10 and Freshman All American.... - By Rich September 24, 2026 at 08:13:36 AM
      - He was eventually benched, and mgoblog's grading of him was proven right - By jon September 24, 2026 at 08:44:15 AM
        
        I think he came in as a FB. He started the 11/20/10 game in his last year and played LB in the bowl game. "Proven right" is funny when you consider - By Rich September 24, 2026 at 09:11:04 AM
  - Nah, they constantly explain that LB is a hard position to play and an even score is fine - By jon September 24, 2026 at 07:57:13 AM
    - I swear most of the critiques here don't really read mgo. They frequently contextualize their ratings, highlight areas of uncertainty/guesswork, the limitations of their method of analysis, how their views and approach have changed over time, etc.* - By doctor_klopek September 24, 2026 at 12:02:45 PM
    - Right, they give DL plus plays too easily and LB minuses similarly. But it's consistent.* - By ftb September 24, 2026 at 07:59:23 AM
  - they raved about Devin Bush and Michael Barrett - By DoctorD September 24, 2026 at 07:51:16 AM
    - As to Barrett, not at first - By Excitable Boyee September 24, 2026 at 10:00:16 AM
