IS KENNY DEMENS DECLINING?

 

PUBLISHED BY: JEREMY WROBEL

 

FIFTH YEAR SENIOR, KENNY DEMENS HAS HAD A ROUGH FIRST MONTH FOR THE MAIZE AND BLUE. THROUGH THE FIRST FOUR GAMES DEMENS HAS ONLY RECORDED 18 TOTAL TACKLES. LAST YEAR HE HAD ACCUMULATED THAT IN THE FIRST TWO GAMES. HE ALSO DID NOT FINISH A GAME WITH LESS THAN 5 TACKLES IN ANY GAME IN 2011. DEMENS HAS MANAGED TO DO THAT TWICE ALREADY THIS SEASON. THE WAY HE IS PLAYING HE MAY VERY WELL BE LOOKING AT THE BENCH HERE SHORTLY WITH FRESHMEN JAMES ROSS OR JOE BOLDEN GETTING THE NOD TO START.

THE LINEBACKERS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE HEART OF THE DEFENSE THIS YEAR. THEY HAVE UNDER PERFORMED AND HAVE BEEN FRANKLY DISAPPOINTING. DEMENS DID SHOW SIGNS OF BEING COMPETITIVE AGAINST A GOOD TEAM IN NOTRE DAME, NOW IT’S TIME TO BE CONSISTENT. AS A MICHIGAN SUPPORTER MYSELF, HONESTLY THIS HAS BEEN THE TEAMS FLAW THE WHOLE YEAR. CONSISTENCY!
