As an "old" ILB coach, the hardest thing to teach a new ILB is to read the triangle and to also see any offside pullers (O lineman from the other side of the center). The quicker he reads these keys the quicker he can diagnose the play. Too many inexperienced guys have a tendency to just watch the ball and get completely faked out.
Would love to see Hunter earn a starting role this year. He has worked so hard and selflessly for the opportunity. He reminds me of Greg Bracelin from my recruiting class who was recruited as a DB and then ended up playing linebacker. Greg was an amazing athlete and a stud who could lay the wood. Greg also played rugby and he was amazing on the pitch as well. He went on to a very successful NFL career as well. Go Hunter!!
