The Best LB Group in KF tenure

[HawkeyeInCentralIowa]

KF has had multiple great LB’s come through this university and he’s had a few really great groups of LB’s. The top 3 I think of when you think of his best groups are usually Hodge and Greenway, Hunter, Angerer, and Edds, Kirksey, Hitchens, and Morris, or Jewell, Niemann, or Bower. If I’m picking I’m choosing Kirksey, Hitchens, and Morris. If we had that tandem last year, I think it could have been the difference between the Holiday Bowl or the West championship. With them I believe we would have beat Wisconsin.

You are leaving outEdmond miles and George Lewis with the Greenway/Hodge tandem.

2003 group--Greenway, Hodge, Steen and Lewis has to be in the conversation.

 

[Big Hawk D-Port]

Kirksey and Hitchens both have had long NFL careers and proven their talent. That group is the best.

Chad Greenway was the single best player IMO.

Can't argue with this but I feel Hodge is greatly underrated by a lot of people. One of my all time favorites.

 

[NorthDSMHawk]

The 2005 corps was filthy
Greenway
Hodge
Miles

2009 was also a favorite with
Angerer
Edds
Hunter

 

[hawkeyekid]

I'd take Angerer, Edds, and Hunter.

Rewatch the Cap One bowl and watch how they throttle their starting quarterback.

His ribs probably healed last week. Lewis and Hodge absolutely abused his midsection a few times.

 

[Greenway4Prez]

I give the slightest of edges to the Greenway/Hodge/Lewis group of 2004. The most physical and best tackling group I’ve seen.

As incredible as Hodge and Greenway we’re in 2005, Miles was forced to play out of position. It wasn’t until 2006 that Miles hit a groove, when he was moved to his more natural position. In conference play, Miles was absolutely outstanding. There were a BUNCH of great LB’s in the conference that year, and Miles stacked up with the best of them.

The 2009 corps was really good, excelled in pass coverage, and the 2013 group really had no weaknesses.

Damn, what a great question!

And Grant Steen. He was the third guy in 2003.

 

[West CO Hawk]

Kirksey and Hitchens both have had long NFL careers and proven their talent. That group is the best.

Chad Greenway was the single best player IMO.

nailed it.

 

[West CO Hawk]

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Don't tell anyone.

 

[millhawk]

Kirksey, Hitchens and Morris for me.

I'll go with that but it's close. Two having good pro careers.

 

[Hawk94Mn]

Edds angerer and hunter, ran into Edds at our tailgate last year, dude is still juiced

 

[ICWestfan]

Anyone who played alongside Larry Station, including the chinese LBer Son Jim.

 

[hexumhawk]

Greenway and Hodge for me. Both uber athletic and both had a mean streak. Hodge probably most underrated player in KF tenure since his NFL career wasnt as good as thought to be.
