Fins Claim Labinjo off waivers from colts...

[BennyVW]

We just claimed linebacker Mike Labinjo off waivers from the colts. It appears from the fins site that we cut DT Josh shaw to make room. Labinjo is 6'1" 255lbs from michigan state. This is his second year in the league....

Ive never heard of the guy....why did we get him is he good? or a project player?

cool hes from toronto

He seems like he is a Jeremiah Trotter type ILB. His official draft bio was 6'0" 264 pounds. Here's his bio-

POSITIVES: Forceful, run defending linebacker best in the box. Breaks down well, quick to diagnose the action and disciplined. Holds his ground against blocks, squares into tackles and brings opposing ball carriers down on initial contact.

NEGATIVES: Two-down defender taken off the field on obvious passing situations. Lacks overall speed and lateral pursuit skills.

ANALYSIS: Terrific in run support, Labinjo may be best served at either inside linebacker positions in a three-four alignment. Does not have the overall range to be used as a starter in a conventional defense.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent

Seems like more positives than negatives....although speed is very important but if he tackles that well its a real plus

Maybe he will suprise people

Sounds like another piece of the puzzle.

I think Shaw's nickname should be "Hack" . Poor guy's been cut at least four times this year.

Hack Shaw

 

[Noodle Arm]

Well SOMEBODY has to replace Eddie Moore

 

[NorFlaFin]

We've been missing a thumper in the middle for a while. Guess this means Crowder will work more at the OLB spot.

That's the key, Michigan State. Saban has connections...

 

[BennyVW]

Sounds like a Ted Johnson type ILB....

Yea, you know those undrafted rookie free agents are going to turn this team around, an insignificant move.

Yeah, players like Welker don't do anything in this league.

Second year out of Michigan State huh? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that means Saban recruited him. Inside info.
