nugpimpen Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Not an every down guy but I thought he was fine and he's good leadership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyDean Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 We are moneyball. We will never break the bank on Linebackers under this management. We also prefer to run a base big nickel with 3 safeties and 2 LBs. We now have the safeties to do that. LBs like Smith, Goodson, and Wilson Phillips (Mack and Jacob respectively) is pretty much what our LBs will look like, and I am fine with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just see them wanting to draft the positions. It’s cheaper and this year seems to be a pretty decent class with Zaven, JOK, Bolton, Cox, Surratt, Fisher, Browning, Werner. Didn’t mention Micah because we don’t have a chance at him Edited March 17, 2021 by buno67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I like it bot super athletic but makes some plays. Not an everydown guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaWg_LB. Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Was a Vet leader and our best consistent linebacker in Coverage.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 12 hours ago, DaWg_LB. said: Was a Vet leader and our best consistent linebacker in Coverage.... My thoughts exactly. He was one of our 3 best LBers last season and the best in coverage. While that may not be saying a lot, it does say he’s someone we’re better off not losing. Instead of replacing our starters with new talent, I’d rather replace our current backups with starting talent and bump our current starters to the bench as depth. Smith, Phillips, Takitaki are more or less penned into roster spots I’d imagine. They’re all “ok”, probably better as reserves or situational players. We still need a 3 down stud (or at least a guy who’s “good”) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinebackerGod Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Meh...I don't think he's even remotely good. He is straight up disinterested in the run game at this point in his career. That doesn't speak leadership to me. Whatever. If we do this draft thing right, he'll never really be on the field for us, so not a big deal. I just don't think he's good anymore...and now he's a year older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) @LinebackerGod here's your Nickel coverage LB, competing with Takitaki and possibly a draft pick. Edited March 18, 2021 by MWil23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeHDruiD Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) I know PFF isn't the be all end all but he was the 7th ranked coverage LB last year With a pass defense predicated on very little blitzing and the DL generating the pressure, good quality coverage LBs are a must in passing situations. I like it. Edited March 18, 2021 by TeHDruiD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s still good, “pretty good” even..... against the pass. He’s a rotational guy who should play a lot of snaps in passing situations and on special teams. You need guys like that. That like your ideal 4th or 5th linebacker. The problem for us last year is we asked him to be a 3 down guy out of need, which he clearly isn’t great at.

He did play way too much last year and understandably why. But man, I watched him toss the salad of every OL we played last year. He could not get off blocks and literally turned his back to OL that got to him. It was like watching a small cornerback take on blocks in there.
