Asa seems great in coverage and Ive seen him telling dudes where to line up
He is embarassing in run support. Rapp came in as a Frosh and was hitting Bo Scarborough fucking hard in the Peach Bowl. Asa would be in the emergency room if he attempted to tackle that man.
You’re spot on. I reported (I like to call my copypasta of UW journalists reporting) that Asa was teaching guys in Fall Camp and helping with alignments. He also stayed after the Arizona game to run Irvin and Kam Fab through drills.
Seems to me like he’s a high IQ player who knows what to do and can lead. He’s also freaky athletic. The coaches want that out there currently.
What needs to happen now is the next step in development: realize you’re bigger than everyone else that will get the ball and start lighting dudes up.
Will he get there? I don’t know, but I like the kid. EWIWBI.
Aggression isn’t a learned trait..you have it or you don’t. He doesn’t have it. We can do better.
Molden wasn’t any better on that play but...I do agree Asa is a puss.
They both appear to protecting against a pass. Asa goes with the TE instead of stepping up to play the run and Molden is back peddling as well even turning around to ensure there’s not a receiver behind him.

He would fit right in with some other LBs that don't like to tackle
