Still, I think you would want to see a 215-225 lb type guy in your LB spot. 

We hadnt seen those types since Dansby and Thomas before this past year or two. I prefer bates in a Safety role close to the line ala Roy Williams when with OU and Dallas or Eric Berry at UT. I'm not exactly comfortable with a 203 lb  LB either.

You go with what you have and hope that he can add the lbs as time goes on.  10 more lbs or so isn't out realm.

Not if coach Yoxall has anything to do with it.

But that puts you guys that much thinner in the secondary and relying on younger guys. But then again, maybe its all the same since AU's LB corps was thin in the first place. I guess at this point, you're robbing Peter to pay Paul. Plus, adding a 195 lb guy to the LB corps doesn't really pose that much of a threat to a good running game, imo. I guess in a perfect world you would have an elite 215-225 range LB that can move like he's 195-205 lbs. That poses a problem to opposing offenses.

Not saying the secondary is back up to par, but with the return of some upperclassmen from last year that were injured, it will look much better. 

Aubie 16.  I wrote a little blog that Godfather says he's going to post here eventually, that will lay out what I think about it.
