Potentially another undrafted free agent as well? I’m good with it. Based off of what I’ve seen from Mosley for most of the year he’s proven that he doesn’t have the athleticism to go sideline to sideline and is therefore just your classic bumper type LBer, he’s solid in zone coverage, average to below average in man coverage. I don’t feel that skill set is impossible to replace based off of our history with developing ILB. Whats more from what we’ve seen of both Peanut and Kenny Young when they filled in for Mosley during the early portion of the season (as well as when they rotate in), I’m confident that given an entire offseason to prepare, they will be ready and could feasibly improve the position, as Peanut will be in a contract year and Young will have more experience to pair with his upper level athleticism.

And don't forget we could also draft an ILB in the early rounds too if BPA allows for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rookie and 2nd season C.J. Mosley isn't on the field anymore. He is no way a bad linebacker, and he is above solid, but the sideline to sideline speed is gone and the ability to drop deeper and finding the receiver in the hole and cover that spot is not something he can do well anymore. Bam Bradley could be the thumper, Kenny Young the sideline to sideline and the guy with most upside and Peanut/Levine could work well in rotation.

And we can’t fotget that Chris Board, looked just below what Kenny Young showed in preseason. So with both being rookies, that also can’t be understated. It’ll be a good competition for the starting spot. I’d expect Young/Peanut to win as Board/Bradley rotate, but honestly nothing would shock me. The guy from the Steelers could easily steal a spot from one of our group, especially if Bradley’s ACL injury left him as less of a player than from before.

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 We can all agree that Bam Bradley is objectively the best name for a thumping MLB, right? Think of the meme potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of the meme potential. I think “Board” definitely has much potential as well. Perhaps not as much as BAM💥 but we wouldn’t be struggling for memes either.
