Story: Jack Campbell, Seth Benson Lead Promising Group of LBs

Campbell is ridiculous. As big as he is to be as athletic and fast is just something we've never really had at LB. He was also impactful when blitzing and rushing the passer. He and Jacobs could really help in that regard especially if Dline isn't quite as good as we are accustomed to. Parker may need to be creative with getting pressure more often this yr.

What have we really seen out of Jacobs that would put him ahead of Benson who played pretty damn well last year?
Did I say anything about benching Benson for him? I just hope to see more of Jacobs. He was a 4 star highly recruited kid that we beat out OSU for. He is oozing with talent now that's put on some weight. He was barely 210 lbs when he first came. But he's closer to 240 now. Having him rush the passer on obvious passing downs seems like a no brainer to me.

Explicitly, you have not said it. Yet, this is the second thread where you have mentioned wanting to see Campbell and Jacobs on the field together.
I'll quote you from the other thread:
"I hope to see a lot more of Campbell and Jacobs on the field. Those two are tall long fast athletic LBs. Benson isn't bad either."
Really does sound like you have Benson under Jacobs already. If that is the way it shakes out I will be wicked happy - Benson was damn good last year. So if Jacobs beats him out he most likely be freaking awesome. But I just haven't seen anything but high school highlights for Jacobs that show his dominance.
Right I have not said that. Yet their will be a ton of snaps to be played. They are only going to be playing 2 LBs at a time most of the time nowadays. I think those 3 are who will play the most. I think it'll be a situational thing on who plays more when. Be it down and distance in the redzone etc.
