estimebicep 22 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I am new here and lifelong fan. This is a talented ND team and one that could make a playoff run. Defense is my concern with playmakers. Is anyone else concerned about jaylen sneed? Havent noticed him much and when plays he seems out of position and not doing much. He could be one of those difference makers. Freak athlete. I know snaps are limited for him but curious if any "insiders" have heard anything. It seems like we have had some highly rated dudes who look the part but dont really pan out on defense. I hope not with sneed cuz his quickness is next level. Thanks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen others mention that due to his athleticism he has a tendency to overrun plays, and needs to break down to make a tackle. Physically he stacks up no doubt, but it may be the mental that's holding him up from being an every down player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think Next year he becomes a huge numbers guy. Great question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrown_9999 1,023 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Was it Lou Holtz who said that a faster defender who didn't know his assignments just got more out of position than a slower one? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estimebicep 22 Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 Well i am really hoping he can turn the corner as these are the guys we need to take that next step up. He was a top 75 recruit. Maybe once kiser is gone, he will feel more like its his time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll also be easier for him to see on film and the coaches to help diagnose what's going on too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDhoosier 1,232 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 He is still young, but it is very clear that he has the athleticism. He will get at least one more year under veteran LBs. Hopefully it helps. I am not too concerned right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
