Does Kash Need to Start???

[mrhotdice]

He plays hard and is not afraid to put his nose into the fight.

Maybe I am wrong but it seems that a quick LBer that may make freshman mistakes is much better than a slow LBer who can't get to the ball carrier until they get a 7 yard gain.

Make him a QB spy on every play. He goes with the QB and rushes on pass plays and on the option, hit the QB with or without the ball.

Put some toughness and meanest on the defensive side of the ball.

Thoughts?

 

[bigblueinsanity_rivals250340]

Yes. No way Love even needs to be on the field. Literally brings zero to the D, except maybe leadership. I've never seen a MLB make less plays

 

[lex cath]

I would say yes, he plays hard as hell but I think he would get tossed out of a game or two just watching him get into other teams faces after each play. Somebody needs to calm him down some

Not calm him down but feed the other DL and LBer some of what he eating.

Defense is not finesse and a lot like Rigby. I want players on defense that can't be calmed down. That every play you have to knock someone down. I want him in the face of the freshman USCjr. QB.

No defensive player needs to calm down.

 

[KyMaster]

Love has been very disappointing thus far. Kash needs to get some reps to see if he's any better than what we are getting from Love.

I get what your saying, he needs someone to let him know he can't fight after every play and get flagged but you're right about his intensity no doubt and he is quick as hell too

He a mountain man from Paintsville, my home town. Kids in the mountains are raised tough. If you need toughness on a team, just put a bunch of mountain kids on the team and the intensive level will double.

Now I'm not saying just recruit Kentucky kids but the boys who play football in Kentucky should be looked at for their speed and toughness and not just star ratings IMHO.

 

[KentuckyStout]

Is Reechee gonna play tonight?

 

[K_TIME]

Given how much rushing we've been gashed for in all 3 games...its long past time to look other options on the front 7 save Jordan Jones (how is top 5 in SEC in tackles).

We've already replaced Elam basically by scraping so much 3-4 and going 4-3 with Pringle/Dubose/Middleton
It's time to Kash to start trending with higher percentage of snaps and let Love backup at MLB.

 

[Nuke99m.]

Linebacker isn't the whole problem. It's the front guys allowing the offensive line to get to the linebackers that is the problem. I don't know if it's scheme or their play but they seemed to fix a little of it of the second half Sat. with some stunts.

LOL

 

[Kai Slater]

Yes....Kash should be placed in that lineup with significantly more playing time. He's eastern Kentucky Tuff and would add a nice spark to the defense. Yes, he needs time to learn the ropes, but as much as we've struggled, it wouldn't hurt to just go on and let him play a lot more.

 

[cavecat]

No way he plays worse than Love.

 

[Random UK Fan]

What would we lose if we let him?

 

[StubbornPenny]

Yes, or at the least get a lot of reps. Love seems like he tries really hard, but he just doesn't have it. Better to play the younger guys with more upside.

 

[lex cath]

You need to get out the cave more often ....

 

[StubbornPenny]

I think he was saying "there is no way the Kash could be any worse than Love," and not "No way. He plays worse than Love." It can be read either way, but there's no way it's the latter.

My bad, I didn't see a comma and thought it was the opposite. Sorry CC

 

[3kidsandme]

Love literally missed a whole season he needs time before we say he sucks. There has been very little to write home about on defense from anybody. If our safeties can't keep wr from running past them I'd like to see Robinson play some safety

Love is a 4th year player (1 redshirt at Nebraska, a regular season at Nebraska, a sit out here last year, and this season), I don't think it's unfair to say he is what he is at this point.

I bet you were a huge Richie Farmer fan, weren't you?

This post is such fantasy-land bunk. People from Eky are not any "tougher" on average than those from other regions (but they are plenty more obese, according to public health statistics), that's plain nonsense based on nothing other than what you "want" to believe.

And reality is that Eky has for decades been one of the worst regions in the entire country for producing athletic talent. Absent a few very rare exceptions (like Kash) the region has long been known as an athletic black hole to recruiters. And your suggestion that we should be looking at players there for "speed" is downright hilarious--that's the LAST region to go looking for speedsters.

And he's been practicing, spring drills, etc..

In three games at MLB (which has led UK in tackles all of Stoops previous 3 years)..he has 18 tackles for 4th on the team. Both of our safeties have more tackles. He also has zero tackles for loss or sacks and zero interceptions/pass breakups. So he's basically playing the entire game and grabbing 6 tackles a game, no impact plays and teams are just cramming the run game right at us.

I'd say it's long past time to see what Frios or Kash can do.

He had 9 tackles at NU. This game is not as easy as alot of you want to act.

 

[lex cath]

Pound for pound I'd rather have Kash over Frios, bigger faster stronger. Like the 6 million dollar man :eyes:

 

[willyclyde]

Yes. Why not?

 

[catsfanbgky]

What is his 40 time 4.25 / 4.30 ? He is definitely a speedster. I bet when Damien Harris gets in the open field, Kash run him down. He fast.

By the time Stooge puts him in, Harris will be out. Good call though :clap:

 

[carolinacat]

We're giving up 43 freaking points per game and are on track to be possibly the most tragically inept UK defense in history (which is saying something). Anybody with potential should be given a shot...play Kash.

Idk about that, but watching Kash Daniels killing people on special teams, he needs defensive snaps but it don't know if Stooge will let him

Your an idiot. Why don't you come to EKy and say that and get your *** kicked. Football quickness is different from what you call speed.

I think recruiters might take a Tx or Fla boy over a boy from the Mts. with the same stats. Always thought this was a bad thing for UK. When I look at the Dline at App St. and they are local boys from their mountains, and they are in UTs backfield all night , and ours gets dominated by southern Mississippi I say that's lack of development.

And tough in the mountains is a dam sure different kind of tough than Detroit tough or Atlanta tough. I would always keep a spot for a Ky kid with decent stats , no matter the region he is from....but I'd sure as hell like to have a Jeremy Caudell or Tim Couch on this team here I'd even settle for a Joey Couch.

The second coming of Snedegar. When UK stunk at least he was there jacking jaws and never backing down. If Stoops was smart he'd play Kash, just for crowd pleasure, because they aren't getting much anywhere else.

Is that Eleanor Rigby you're talking about?

 

[HelldoggUK]

Love is another example of Stoop's loyalty hurting our team. Love may be a leader but he sure as hell doesn't know how to make a tackle. But he's a Youngstown kid and Stoops will keep giving him opportunities to a fault.

Kids from Kentucky will always get the short end of the rating game. No one is saying fill the team with just Kentucky kids but to reject them simple because they play in less competitive atmosphere is foolish.

If a kid can play football he can play football.

Bro you mad? Did Ritchie or some other "mountain" guy take your girlfriend? So what if it is BS and it's what they "want" to believe. At least they are still pulling for the program.

While it is true, there are few quality FB Players in Mountain schools, this stems from lack of competition & the overall number of individuals that are available in the schools that participate in the sport! This being said, it has been my observation that those who do make it to UK are or have been successful!
Perhaps you remember a couple of brothers from Corbin, Ky., Calvin & Jerry Bird, with a little less stardom, the Hughes brothers, QB's from Prestonsburg, Ky. & how about Jeremy Caudill our Mr. Tim Couch ?

Your an idiot. Why don't you come to EKy and say that and get your *** kicked. Football quickness is different from what you call speed.
