Thoughts on Manny Bowen's play, thus far? ***

Early impressions?

In his high school highlights he looked like a heat seeking missile. Seeing some glimpses of that already. I think he's gonna be awesome and exciting to watch

I think he's the prototype of what a LB is going to become. 6'2, say 205lb now and will get up to 215-220. Run with TE's and RBs but big enough to make tackles in the box. Sad to say but I think the Cabinda/Reeder type of LB is a dying breed

the guy has wheels, like the way he goes sideline to sideline. Just needs time and experience. He will be a good one. Think the same thing of Cooper.

Loved his ST play this past weekend.

As long as there is 5 offensive linemen there will be 2 "box" linebackers

A shame to have used his RS. Would have been great to let him have the year to get a tad bigger. But, I think he will be a REALLY good one and a "playmaker".

At of all the recruits from that class his tape blew me away the most. Could not believe his mix of speed, instincts, and physically. Who knows what he'll become, this staff has not found a way to develop Farmer and I think Bowen is similar in terms of LB/S hybrid. So far so good.

 

[LaJolla Lion]

Very athletic and the PT this year will pay off down the road.

Early impressions?

Fast. Aggressive. Big contributor by season's end. No way he should have redshirted. A star in the making.

I loved his tape. He seemed like a(n any down) game changer we've been missing since Navorro Bowman
