Jefferson has been "the forgotten man" thus far as we saw Nickerson get over 500 more snaps than him last year (Jefferson only got something like 11 snaps on plays other than special teams), despite Nickerson redefining the term "sucks ass".
Jefferson was listed as a backup WILL last year, to Jordan Evans. Right now, I would think that the depth chart at WILL would be: Pratt, followed by Evans.
Based on what Jefferson did at Texas, does anyone think he should be playing more of a MIKE role? Possibly backing up Brown?
We have always needed a SAM backer man. I am hoping Pratt can fill that role cause we have always had PLENTY of WILL backers.
Malik only getting that many snaps with Nickerson sucking so bad is eye opening to say the least either with Malik's play or the coaches judgment. Malik is athletically gifted but the mental part of his game was always the reason he fell to the 3rd.
This guy needs to study and learn to diagnose plays, also needs to get better at shedding blocks and taking good angles. Malik has a lot of work to do as do most of our backers but i am just so happy we got a new LB coach in Tem and brought in Pratt. Davis is the exact opposite of Malik Jefferson, he is not athletically gifted but has good instincts, takes good angles and is a great tackler.
