How confident are you Marist Liufau will be a quality starting linebacker

[gtb1943]

It does. He processes faster than Clark. Clark is just an athlete running.

I do worry about him being over aggressive

That is something coaching hopefully can fix. BUT its a lot easier teaching a guy to slow down then speed up

Everything Ive heard about him is he is highly coachable

He needs to be less of a missed tackle machine, and slow down a bit. He plays like he's shot out of a cannon, and when he guesses right, he makes plays. When he doesn't (see Mariota on 4th and 1), he will overrun plays and miss tackles. Has to rein that in - he didn't at Notre Dame.

Over the season he has gotten a decent amount of rotationa snaps (25-30 a game) and has taken on the lions share since Overshown has gotten hurt. More likely than not he will be one of our starters in 2025

Horrible coaching on this team is just of many many many glaring issues with the organization!!!!!

They kept moving him around at Notre Dame never letting settle in at one position

He already is.

He has quality’s you like in a LB, i do wish he plays with a little more controlled havoc.

He’s young. He will get stronger and smarter over time

Bust

I'm no great evaluator of linebackers but I can see him out there making plays and for a rookie I think that's a good start.

I keep hearing about his high football IQ. Do you guys see that he's diagnosing plays well?

no he gets fooled on too many fakes

Like him. More reps and continued improvement. I didn't like the fact he sold out on the RB and Mariota fooled him for a key gain.
