Beavers pending coach sale?

Ektard hearing he may retire after tearing his ACL in the Rose Bowl. Danny Hammer and Calvert may have to start from day 1.
 
The entire front seven is relying on redshirts and true freshmen to be good. At least there are a lot of interior DL to throw at the problem and see who is at least close to ready. I know it's quookish to pin any hopes on incoming freshman to save the day, but it's pretty important to close with both of the remaining two lb targets to increase the talent pool there too.

Just don't fucking get them hurt.
 
counting on freshman is not the way to go - you never see any CFP champs relying on freshman

It's not ideal, but freshmen stand out on great teams all the time. The talent level, at least at DL, is high and there are a lot of them. We* need Danny Hammer and Tootoo. That would make 4 young but physically impressive lbs (Calvert and Tuputala) of which a couple need to play and play very well.

Doubt any of those guys beat out Sirmon. Redshirt them

Probably not but a lot of guys play. There aren't many bodies on the roster right now. Beavers and Wellington have had a hard time staying healthy so far, and Sirmon and Tafisi are pretty hard to say anything certain about yet. It's not a shit show, but thin enough that a lot can go wrong and I expect as much
 
It's linebackers, who cares? It's not real life, like dline/secondary.
 
Fortunately our first 4 games are our dreck non-conf schedule (Eastern, Hawaii, BYU) and Cal who has the worse offense in the conference. Hopefully a few of the young LBs will settle into their roles by October when we get into the meat of our schedule.
 
I was curious about this. He appeared to be grabbing his achilles after he went down.

Yup, even when Ektard is kinda right I still think he's wrong. Looked like a torn achilles when it happened. Beavers just needs to be done. He's never playing a down in the NFL. Leave the game while you still have some ligaments left.

Agree, but we still need to play probably two of the true freshmen.
