  When asked to describe what a bandit should be within the schematics of West Virginia's defense, redshirt sophomore Jared Bartlett gave quite an extensive answer. "I would say the perfect bandit is someone who can rush and affect the quarterback, someone who can drop back and affect the pass game, someone who can fit the run, someone who can set the edge or fit inside on run gaps," Bartlett said during a media session on Wednesday. "It's like a mixture between [a defensive] end, an inside linebacker and a nickel[back]." Sort of sounds like an all-around defensive player, doesn't it? "That's what a bandit is," Bartlett insisted.

That's quite a list of expectations, but it's a list to which Bartlett holds himself as the Mountaineers prepare for their first preseason scrimmage on Thursday. Bartlett has certainly shown flashes in his three seasons. He was the Big 12 defensive player of the week after a three-sack performance in a win over Virginia Tech last year. He has 59 tackles and seven sacks to his credit for his career. But the bandit - a hybrid position between a linebacker and a defensive lineman - should be a difference-maker in all facets of the defense, as Bartlett said. The quest for consistency has been his biggest quest this offseason. "The way I've been practicing lately is taking it day by day," Bartlett said. "Once you establish consistency and continue to play at a high level, good things happen, so that's my mindset right now." - Gazette Mail
