I see what you did there, you cheeky boy.

I don’t mean this disrespectfully to Barnes, but Biles is an All ACC player. Barnes had 40 snaps. So yeah, much bigger impact. 

agree completely but also they are different type of LBs. Barnes does not have the range that Biles has, nor the instinct on the blitz. 

We do need another thumper bc they only have Cryer for short yardage/goalline situation with 2 ILBs that can attack the A/B gaps at the same time. 

2/3 ILBs in the bag, 1/3 to go and someone that can thump a little. We know who we want but lets get at least 1 more ILB and i hope we can get a D2/FCS guy in the portal late as depth.

What do you mean by that?! 🧐

This should push those on the edge back to safety. Best add and huge pick up moving LB back to a position of strength.

How does he fit with Smith in Muschamp's base defense? Base is: 3 down lineman, 2 "overhang" edges, 2 backers, 4 DBs? With Biles and Smith as those two LBs? 

I would not be concerned about Muschamp concept for his defense. He is a proven Defensive mind and it is apparent he is getting the players he wants on a fast pace. Sark will have to put the pedal to the metal to close out some of these offensive spots to fill.

@CJ Vogel @Gerry Hamilton obviously a HUGEEE pickup, but in your opinion did we overpay or would you say it was around what was expected to pay for such a big pickup? 

You have to worry about “overpaying” for other guys so you can blow it all on guys like this. 

Sorry if it’s already been asked but did he sign or just commit?
