Speaks is a tweener DL, who was horribly miscast at an OLB in Sutton’s D. When give the chance to play with a hand on the ground and play like a traditional DL, he showed some flashes as a rookie. No, he doesn’t have a specific calling card - he does a little bit of everything. That type of player can be really successful in this system as a strong side DE/rush DT. |

He was drafted into the 3-4 and told to drop weight to play OLB. Then they shitcan Sutton and tell him to put the weight back on to play DL. So he kind of overdid it. I mean, you know. It's not GREAT but it's not as bad as some people are making it out. And with the early season injury, we don't really know what we've got there. |

Re: speaks. He is going to get a shot, it'll ostensibly be his second year, when/if training camp takes place. We've lost EO and others, so there is a need. Either he performs or he doesn't. I don't understand all the handwringing because he was 2nd rnd pick... The league is a meritocracy, generally...
On another note, isn't he suspended the first 4 games? |

I think Speaks has a real shot to show something this season. |

Remember when KU football wanted all of their offensive and defensive lineman to cut weight and look lean? That worked out so, so well.
