candyman93 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Schobert is elite in pass coverage. In today’s NFL, that’s what you want out of a LB. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-browns-joe-schobert-is-flying-under-the-radar-as-the-nfls-top-coverage-linebacker-through-week-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked like a statue in the passing game is first 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it could be frustrating, especially on 3rd down, I liked what I saw in coverage assuming he would learn and make up that partial step. My biggest concern with him has always been his build, he just looks so lean for a LB. So far he has stayed relatively healthy so so far so good. 1/3 of my lat sentence was so. So what? Ooooh, up to 1/2 in that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbs are the size of running backs now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosko1616 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Honestly you really don’t need three LB to run a 4-3. You Need one true LB and 3 SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious if that's what you meant, I'm not throwing shade No I’m saying with how Lbs are built smaller and being utilized these days you really only need 1 true LB and the other two LBs are basically SS who converted to LB like deon Jones,Deone Buchanan, Mark Barron types who specialize in coverage. That’s why I said 3 SS lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I said 3 SS lol Barron was a garbage SS, but was one hell of a tackle so they made him a LB. They weren’t just being creative in the Rams organization. They were just trying to use the talent they have. Also helps that Barron is a size of a LB that the switch was realistic. He was 6’2 220 coming out I believe. I think since the move he is around 230/235. That is huge size for a SS. I with kindred or Peppers was that big. So they could make that move but why are not. Its an ideal to change those SS to LBs but there are a lot of variables that come into that switch. If those SS are not stud tacklers, those OCs will just run at them.

I understand that what I’m saying is these days LBs are more built like SS then actually LBs. Gone are the days of Patrick Willis, Bowman and Brooks or Urlacher and Briggs. They need to have speed and be willing to tackle and be decent in coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornbybrown Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 I prefer the Bengals over the Ratbirds by a long way. Except when Hue Jackson is involved. I want Hue Jackson to never win a game in the NFL again no matter what level his involvement in a team is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
