dolphins revamped LB corp

The LB Corps will be fine and probably in the top three in the league ..The only Tweek I can see is to get Channing to tackle low ( He always comes in too high on His tackles) ..................go D
 
Dead on with Crowder. He's tall and plays tall and frequently goes for the kill shot and misses. He needs to take a page from Zack on tackling form.

I like Crowder. He is fast, quick and smart and can hold his own against larger blockers as well as run with backs and tight ends. However, I agree, he can be a little stiff in pass coverage and sometimes gets too high when taking on blockers. He can also be overly aggressive, sometimes overrunning the plays. And he is young and will need some maturing. He has come a long way and has learned a lot from Zach. With the addition of JP, I see CCrowder having a great year. Look for Roth and Crowder to kick some @$$.
 
How about picking up Aj Nicholson from the Bangles the cut him yesterday.

It is harder than it seems. He probably does it because of insecurity of the tackle. Going to low can give the ball carrier an easy spin move off the tackler. I have the same problem here at my high school of tackling to high. I do it because it is easier for me than getting my tall body down so low. See, Zack Thomas is short enough that he doesn't have to try to get that low 'lol' :D.

He also has a lower center of gravity which allows more control in his tackle. Channing could lose his balance easier when attempting to tackle low.
 
Our defense will be a blast to watch with the addition of Porter and Y. Bell playing from game one etc. Crowder is improving each year and he will take another step in his developement this year. This is a punishing set of linebackers. This could be the best group of linebackers ever on a Miami Dolphin team.
 
that summed it up.


but what it doesn't say is that miami dolphin fans have nothing bad to say about our linebackers
 
LB is probably the one thing I'm most excited about this season.
You think JT was scary good last year.....

We're in for something special this year.
 
If crowder is our worst starting linebacker that is very good group of linebacker he just needs to get lower when he hits
