ILB in place of a 3-Down, faster 225lb version. We thought we had that in Burks, but he injured then fizzled at LB at this high play level. He would’ve been better off shedding 5-10 pounds and playing Safety, like he did at VanderbiltWhat we have in Walker is both concepts. Maybe not Roquon fast, but very close (4.44vs4.51) Yet Quay’s solid 6’4X241lb. size and stellar block shedding is ideal for a team needing help stopping the run. All that without losing much of anything in quickness needed in covering the short passing game.  Once again, Quay is so fast diagnosing using his speed and aggressive plays type, that he sometimes overplays. I’m not sure about Barry, but I’d rather fix a player who’s so fast he overshoots the play (Mental) than a player who physically can’t keep up with the play speed to begin with.  We need to teach him to swim sideways in the Rip tide, not fight the current headlong</blockquote>
