Old Guy Posted Monday at 11:43 AM Share Posted Monday at 11:43 AM 1 minute ago, Brit Pack said: Watching Cooper you can see as a rookie that this guy has it. He makes plays, he is present, Quay just ain't it. Seriously Krys Barnes looked better yesterday than Quay. I mean Devin White is a free agent now... You want to talk about a guy who is lost, enter Devin White. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take his athleticism over Wilson and McDuffie. Heck, Oladepo might be worth a shot. He's a pretty big safety. Wonder if he could handle playing in the box.

spilltray Posted Monday at 12:48 PM Share Posted Monday at 12:48 PM While Quay is underwhelming for a first round pick, if you didn't know where he was drafted, he's a better LB than people are giving him credit for. We w had actually bad LB play over the years and he isn't one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iffy instincts were the primary red flag on the day he was drafted, and nothing has really changed in that regard during his time in GB. His physical ability helps to cover some of it, but at this point, I don't see much reason to expect his instincts to significantly improve. His ceiling is going to be capped unless GB tweaks how he's being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been playing every snap on defense and by the 2nd half of the season, Cooper effectively needs to replace Quay as the "never leave the field LB." Quay should become the guy who plays 30-35 snaps per game, not 70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopackgonerd Posted Monday at 01:49 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:49 PM If Quay could just figure out how to fill the correct gap i think he would be a fine player. Think they seriously have to try to use him at different spots. But it's becoming hard to think he's not a liability out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ceiling is going to be capped unless GB tweaks how he's being used. The point is at the end of the day he's a solidly above league average LB. For all the fan's angst, I doubt he's someone a coach or front office considers a need to replace. Also he's been steadily playing better incrementally every game. For a player who isn't instinctual, changing to a new defense will be a process and it seems to me he's having what I hoped for as far as progression. I'm not saying he will be an All Pro, but he's already more of an asset than a liability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe front 4 or CB? We're not sitting great at CB without a healthy Jaire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
