Let Julian, Cole, James, and all these athletic and slighter LBs make that mobile QB work for it. I won't read too much into the Arizona game as that was the first game of the year for this LB group that definitely needed some experience together.
If Waege is healthy AND we get back #53 for some rotational snaps I like our chances to end their drives early enough times to lean on them.
I think a mobile QB concerns me when they also have the ability to throw the ball. I don't see this kid having that ability against our defense. The AZ kid had both...he ran for first downs but also threw for them as well. Spy this IW guy with Wiz, bring a dominant pass rush and keep him in a bubble where the only way out for scrambling is up the middle vs outside. He isn't going to beat us all by himself.
