Joe SELDOM played first, only because of injuries to others, except on special teams.
Damico got slow this year, got blocked a LOT inside. Inside LB's have to take on the blockers and stop the inside game. He did not seem the same player to me. Injuries could be the answer. Ambush did a great job inside this year.
I think Walker's size caught up with him, Got pushed around a lot this year. Lost playing time because of it.
McConnel was here for basically one season. I think the DB transfer - a Binghamton Kid, stepped up and did well.
Some guys see who is recruited and start double thinking themselves.
Cuff surprises me BUT he had a bad spring and a bad fall season. Made really bad decisions - a result of getting sacked a lot BUT yo have a choice, step up or act out. On a team you can NOT argue with coaches in public on the sideline. Every time you'll lose playing time. Some kids get benched, get pissed and come back with an attitude the next year and compete again. Some don't.
