I am surprised that we haven’t brought on any of our inside linebackers (Tristan Sinclair has played one game).  It is a position that has not played well, where a couple of the key younger guys (mike an and JMF) have been injured, and for which we have virtually no depth.  This doesn’t bode well for the future.

They are too young and not ready. ILB is probably the most cerebrally-taxing position on D; according to a well-known former ILB, when he played as a true frosh he was just running around with no clue wtf he was doing. (Hell, Curtis Robinson seems like HE'S doing that sometimes.) It's not like throwing a frosh DB in there and saying "cover this dude" or "play this zone." Plus Sinclair, while showing some speed and predilection to hit, is only ~210 right now...too light. And Damuni is likely a little out of shape after his mission.
