Broadway Joe Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Nakobe day to day with an ankle injury. Nolan Smith is taking his reps at the moment. Nolan Smith as off the ball LB is intriguing to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jroc04 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 If losing one guy means we jam an edge rusher in the MIKE might mean we may be a little under-gunned there. Howie’s ignorance to some roster positions is irresponsible at times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if we're giving Barnett looks at LB...we should probably trade for another LB. Like an actual MLB instead of the WLB's we've been signing. Have a feeling opposing TE's are going to get more yards against us then they do on average, based on the talent we have at LB and S.

UndyTaker Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I think Howie is waiting towards the end of training camp to see if any other injuries happen to this team that would take the priority in a trade or FA. After the 1st or 2nd preseason game I would bet he makes a move or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the assumption was there, but now that camp started, he is attending and playing the good little soldier, is he really? I mean the Ravens have SB aspirations too, why trade one of thier best defensive players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe get Chad Muma or Troy Andersen on the cheap. I don't think we should spend more than a 3rd in a trade. Ravens might want a 2nd for Queen, and while Queen is good in coverage (for a LB), he's really not that great against the run. Makes a lot of his tackles after the RB already gets 5 yards, and he was looking pretty lousy in general last season before Roquan got there and made life easier. What we need is a Jordan Hicks.

Use him like the Giants use Dexter, and let JD use that athleticism and girth to get upfield. Screw the 3/4 and the 4-3. We should be a 5-2 base, w/all 5 lineman attacking upfield and wrecking the opposing blocking scheme. The Eagles should never have 3 off-ball LB's on the field at the same time, and Ideally we're forcing teams to pass and rarely even need 2 off-ball LB's outside of when we play the few teams that still run the ball a lot- like NYG, DAL, IND, CLE, and TEN.

I remember when 3/4 of this forum hated Hicks, "to injury prone", "can't stay healthy, "waste of a 3rd"". Until he left and balled out as a Cardinal and we were stuck in purgatory.

downundermike Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I wasn’t as impressed with Howie’s free agents as some folks. Howie obviously wasn’t impressed with his work either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleBlueDon Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Happy with the signings. Feel like I've wanted Cunningham on this team for years now lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Jack makes too much sense. Though I don't know whether or not he or Dean get the nod. It's an interesting situation at least. Is Zach Cunningham a WILL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
