I like Applewhite. I have to say though, not very much at ILB unless he’s mike. His coverage skills aren’t yet developed. I know he was a DE and moved to OLB but it’ll take more practice I think before he’s capable of dropping into zones frequently. Plus he turns his hips in too quickly and that can mean missed tackles, remember Chris Ivory? The first guy to miss was Applewhite. If he starts I definitely hope he gets a sack or a few hits. And he seems like a smart guy too, I bet he’ll do a solid job in run defense.

Hopefully he will produce some pressure this week.

I was pissed when this guy left state early, know he’s one of my favorite Chargers
