Thanks. Time for Gilliam and Falo to make a difference.
Have to hope they can. We need their speed.
You forgot Gilbert at OLB, who is probably the main guy. Otherwise spot on. I don't think we will see a lot of 3-4-4 this week.
I think Gilbert will be playing first in the OLB before any of those other guys listed. I wonder if we see Severson some at ILB with Oregon's speed?
Forgot all about Gilbert. Which is really bad, because he is probably the most gifted OLB on the roster when he is focused.

My 2 cents
Up front: Carrell, Tupou, Kafovalu
LB: Olugbode, Gamboa, and other (Gillam, Severson, Falo, Gilbert)

Dude Gamboa scares me this week.
I wonder if Gamboa and Olugbode tag team this week and the other 4 faster line backers swap out the other two spots?
This week? You mean any week where the other team isnt idaho state or csu?
Well true dude is slow. He can defend the run a bit but out in space, bad idea. Oregon has some dudes that can run.
It might be a good idea to have george frazier to spend some time being a decent linebacker instead of spending not very much time being a not that great tight end.
I've never saw him as a TE really, fullback maybe. LB, interesting.
Frazier does not have the speed to play LB.
He played defense a couple years ago and showed some things as a pass rusher. Hes faster and bigger than rick gamboa, and hes faster than hasselbach.
At this point, i dont know if he could transition back to linebacker after two years on offense, but hes not a good tight end and we dont even use tight ends much. Id rather see him at lb than see him sit on the bench.
Inside backer or outside?
Hes faster than rick gamboa, and hes about Forty pounds bigger. In any event , i was thinking more of moving him to outside linebacker, as he seemed like a decent pass rusher two years ago.
If we used tight ends more than 5 plays a game, and he could catch, and if we had better depth on defense, i wouldnt be making this suggestion. But christian shaver and terran hasselbach arent good enough that we can leave a guy who might have decent pass rushing skills on the bench at a position we dont use, and that he doesnt play well.
He played OLB out of pure desperation a few years ago. All I know is they won't be moving him, especially at this point in the season. That would seem like another desperation move to me. I like Shavor and NJ in these roles.
