How good can the defense be in 2014?

So Derrick Webb, a two time captain and 3 year starter at CU was 5'11 and nearly ran a 4.9 40 (4.86). Ouch

And people wondered how we could be giving up 40 points a game?

Some of our opponents had OL who were faster than our OLB.

Upgrading athletically at LB is a big reason why I'm optimistic about the defense

Judging by recruiting threads, people have no issues with undersized, slow LBs.

And this upgrade you talk about is based on what? I see no evidence that we've upgraded over Webb at this point in time with Olugbode. Pretty similar size, probably a lot faster, not as big of a hitter.

Webb couldn't wrap up a tackling dummy. Speed is huge in the PAC 12.

So we traded a 5th year senior in for a 2nd year sophomore who was listed at 6'0 200 last year and it's a massive upgrade? Can't wait!
 
Count me as one who thinks our LBs in 2014 will be a big upgrade. We should not be able to differentiate between our safeties and some of our LBs going forward IMO.
 
It's not like the bar is set very high in that department

True. I just don't think a Webb for Olugbode trade will be all that great. Olugbode is probably a much better athlete, but Webb was also a captain. I'm just hoping Greer can stay healthy for once.
