turtle28 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) I like it for competition at the MLB spot, but he has to earn it and I think Rob will make every player earn their playing time. Edited March 9, 2020 by turtle28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s beat out by say Holcomb to be the starting MLB then, he’ll at least be a good back up or, if they structure the contract correct they could cut him at the first round of cuts if they want to in August.

ripsean21 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I like SDH. I’d love a way that our 3 future LB’s to already be on the roster. Could that be possible yes but I think it’s a stretch. I do like Hamilton. I hope this staff actually gets this guy in the game because he’s athletic and smart. I’d love to see something great come from this 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be easy to find one of those guys who can stuff the run in the draft and spend minimally for them, both in terms of draft pick and salary.

lavar703 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I’d rather we just put SDH there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins212689 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Holcomb and SDH will be fun to watch battle it out in camp and throughout preseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes LBs can tackle in college but not the pros. If he’s as cheap as he was last year then there’s no reason not to re-sign him for vet competition.

The good thing about Holcomb is I think he has the intelligence, size and speed to play any of the three 4-3 LB positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he can do each of them, but his issue is - at least at this point in his career - he’s not good in coverage. He’s big, fast and athletic but like most LBs he’s not good in coverage, hopefully he improves in coverage as his career goes on and he learns more/gets used to the speed of the game.
