Can We Please Get Myles Jack?

I think we need more of a MLB, Not overly happy that we signed Roberts back as I was hoping for a beast there but it looks like we get a 2 down LB again

Miami brought roberts back? Man didn’t think so much so-so players from a 9-8 team that was embarrassed by every good team They played would be brought back.

Posted this before, but I think it directly relates to your post. Let me know what you think, particularly about scheme philosophy.


I understand what a lot of you are saying about getting a "stud" ILB, but that's easier said than done.

In this scheme, your "thumper" is not going to be a three down player unless he can also handle coverage responsibilities at a high level. Those players are rare, expensive, and for the most part unavailable. It doesn't make sense to pay a LB top tier $ if he has to come out every time a sub package comes in.

AVG and Philips are listed as LBers. That should tell you that we are not using a conventional LB alignment most of the time.

I get the impression many do not like the scheme, and want to bring in players that fit their preferred defensive philosophy. If that is the case, that's something that can be debated, but there's no upside to paying a square peg to come in and fill a round hole.

The scheme for the LBs sucks. Baker shouldn’t be put out on the boundaries covering Running backs all the time.

Disagree there. Baker only played OLB for the latter third of last season, and played pretty well there. Prior to that he was at the ILB position, where he had issues shedding blocks of linemen in run support.

On passing downs, we normally went with extra safeties, and 2 LBers.

Like it or not, that's our scheme/philosophy. If ppl want to go back to a 4-3 defense, that's a different discussion, but then we have entirely the wrong personnel all over the field.

He's better in a lesser role than he had last season. When thrust into a bigger role he didn't have the oomph in his legs to make the meaningful plays that he could make when coming in fresh.
 
IMO Jack has the skill set to be a 3 down LB at either OLB or ILB. I don't see him as a true thumper at MLB, but I do see him as an upgrade at all-around MLB to Roberts. And there's nothing about Roberts' contract or game that would stop me from bringing in an upgrade.

Baker actually played really well late in the season.
